    Where she started

    When I first started with SSAE I was going through a pretty hard time personally and felt like I’d lost myself. I also struggled with gym anxiety, especially being out on the gym floor alone. I knew I needed more structure and routine, and someone to hold me accountable and support me along the way. I’d already decided that doing a Hyrox would be a goal of mine, but I didn’t think it was ever possible for me until I started with Charley.

    What’s changed

    What’s changed most is my mindset. I’m so much happier and more positive now. I’ve built confidence in myself, created consistency and routine, and I no longer feel as anxious in the gym. I love who I am and I’m so proud of me.

    Outside the gym

    The confidence and routine I’ve built has carried over into my everyday life. If you’d told me 12 months ago that I’d be travelling solo, I would’ve said no way. Pushing myself outside my comfort zone through training has completely changed my mindset, and shown me I’m capable of so much more than I thought.

    Before SSAE

    I’d trained with online coaches before who gave me programs of at least four or five days a week. I’d go in guns blazing for about three weeks, then drop off completely because it just didn’t fit my lifestyle. If I wasn’t going to do it properly, I didn’t do it at all. That cycle of stopping and starting went on for about two years.

    What’s changed

    Training with SSAE has been a complete lifestyle switch up. I used to think that if you didn’t hit all five sessions and eat 1500 calories every day, you couldn’t see results, so why try? SSAE helped me build a routine around shift work, stop dreading the gym, and changed my whole mindset around food and weight loss. More food means a stronger, leaner me? Hell yeah!

    The strength and confidence I feel with Charley is the best I’ve felt in my 20s. I’ve also had chronic back pain for years. Charley took it on board, built it into my strength training, and the pain has significantly reduced.

    Her advice

    The hardest part is starting, but investing in yourself is worth it. You don’t need to train seven days a week and eat four almonds a day to see results. You need a coach who listens, and that’s Charley. Do it for future you!

    Before SSAE

    I was training five days a week doing cardio and Pilates, but I just wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. If I was going to invest the time, effort and energy into myself, I wanted to make sure I was doing it the right way. Training with purpose, making real progress, and getting results I could actually see and feel.

    What’s changed

    So much has changed. I eat more, train with purpose and have a much clearer understanding of how to work towards my goals. I’m so much more confident and capable in my training than I was before, and for the first time in a really long time, I genuinely feel strong. Not just physically, but mentally too.

    Her advice

    Stop waiting for the perfect time to start. Show up, and give yourself the chance to see what you’re capable of!

    Tanya

    Where she started

    I was a few weeks out from starting my second soccer season. I’d changed clubs and moved up a few divisions, so I was worried about my high fatigue levels.

    What’s changed

    My cardio and muscle fatigue has dropped an unexplainable amount. That’s given me a huge boost in confidence, and in how much I enjoy soccer games and life overall. Now I’ve moved onto strength based goals to improve my sprint pace and other parts of my game and daily life.

    Outside the gym

    I go out and see friends before and after soccer games instead of only resting and recovering, and I enjoy those catch ups more and I’m more present in them. My overall confidence and happiness has gone up, and I’m back to enjoying the daily grind.

    The coaching

    Having Charley as my PT and being part of SSAE has been an incredible experience. My programs have improved my fitness and my health, and the exercises transfer straight into my footy.

    I’ve had support outside the gym too, with weekly check ins on sleep, stress, eating habits and even my personal life, plus mobility stretches and exercises, and a bunch of recipes and cookbooks.

    What she can do now

    I’d been to the gym before, but I was never really sure what to do or how to do it. Now I genuinely feel comfortable doing different exercises, I’ve learnt a whole bunch of new ones that actually help my sport, and I have confidence in myself at the gym, both in my capabilities and in what I’m doing in my programs.

Head coach

Hey, I’m Charley.

Like a lot of my clients, I spent years in the gym without seeing results. I’d lose motivation, drop off, start again, and end up in the same cycle.

What changed? I actually learnt how to fuel my body instead of starving it, and I started training for something. Footy, Hyrox, running. Once I had a goal to work towards, the strength followed, the habits stuck, and I lost 30kg along the way.

I’ve played a range of sports over the years, and footy is my passion now, so I know what it’s like to fit training around sport.

I’ve coached in person for nearly three years, and I love learning how different bodies move. I write every program myself, and I take the time to understand your lifestyle and the difference between an excuse and a real reason. That’s what makes a plan stick.

Training is better with people around you. Every few months I bring everyone together outside of sessions, so you get to know the faces behind the check ins and have people in your corner on the days motivation doesn’t turn up.
