best you approach next start date: 1st JANUARY

To be your best self, you need to take control of your life, show up daily and action the small things consistently to help you achieve your goals. Discover your inner potential by letting go of self-doubt and working on the things that matter to you. This isn't about anyone else, it's you VS you.

Never! There are no food group restrictions in this programme. If you eat chocolate / drink wine excessively and feel it is impacting your best self, then you may choose to adjust this habit to consume these things in moderation. However I'm never going to advise you to cut the things you love out of your life entirely. No chocolate would make me become my most miserable version of myself, not the best version of me! 

This very much depends on personal preference!  If you thrive off of others energy, like to be part of an active group chat and feel you need some support and encouragement to build new habits and stay accountable but not on a 1:1 basis then 'Best You' will be perfect for you. If you feel you want weekly 1:1 check ins directly with a coach or have injuries and conditions that require an individual programme then 1:1 coaching may be more suitable. If you're unsure just drop us a message at active.alexandra@outlook.com and we can have a chat!

Of course! Each programme runs for 8 weeks but you can stay on for as long as you like to keep the accountability and support long-term. However, if you just want a kick start to then continue by yourself joining for one or two months to get that initial boost is totally fine. 

I would love to work with you again! This a perfect step after graduating 1:1 coaching if you loved the community, support and accountability but no longer feel you need the detailed individual weekly check ins, individualised training plan or access to chat individually daily. 

Nope! Being your best you is for everyone, whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, maintain your weight or just get active, eat well & build some healthy habits! The training plan will remain the same, however your nutrition targets will be different to align with your goal. 

Yes! There will be 2 programme options, GYM or HOME. The home programme requires a pair of dumbbells but if you don't have these you can get creative & grab some tins or water bottles. 

You can! If you're already following a programme you enjoy or are training for a specific event such as a Marathon you can continue following that and use 'Best You' for the accountability and support to help you action your daily goals! 

Definitely not - you wouldn't clean your car before taking it to the car wash so you don't need to get fit before you can join in with us! The training programme has 3 resistance workouts per week and 2 cardio sessions. If you are totally new to exercise, I would just suggest you go light in your lifts to begin and you can even do just 1 set of each exercise instead of 3. Doing something is better than doing nothing, we're not here to be perfect, we're here to take imperfect action consistently! 

Absolutely not! This programme is open worldwide. You can work on your 'Best You' from anywhere in the world with us. I work with clients in Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Egypt, Germany, America, Japan, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland and all across the UK. 

The training plan unfortunately is not pre / post natal specific however I am a pre & post natal qualified trainer so please get in touch for 1:1 coaching. 

Please get in touch at active.alexandra@outlook.com to discuss your injury / health condition. Group coaching may still be suitable, however In some cases 1:1 coaching may be more appropriate for you. 

This programme is suitable for most people between 18-70 years old who do not have any pre-existing medical conditions which would suggest otherwise. Please get in contact about 1:1 coaching if you are outside of this age bracket or have a medical condition which may impact your safe participation. 

Payment will be made via the app monthly for £99. There will be a £50 joining fee to reserve your space and get you set up. 

There are 3 full body resistance workouts and 2 cardio workouts in both the home and gym options. Each take between 30-45 minutes to complete. If you continue on beyond 8 weeks, you get a new programme for each block. 

It's important to keep workouts fun but by doing different workouts all of the time it becomes difficult to progress and improve in each movement. This approach has a balance of structure & variety! The full body resistance workouts will remain the same for 6 weeks with rep progressions (but all 3 are different), the cardio workouts can be changed as often as you like! There will be some ideas for you to choose from or you can do your own thing. 

Alongside your calorie & protein targets, guidance will be available on what a balanced diet looks like! There will be educational topic videos for you to learn everything you need to know about nutrition to ensure you can make informed decisions on what makes up your personal diet to help you feel your best you. 

No. You can choose the approach that is right for you and your goals. If your goal is fat loss or muscle growth I would suggest giving tracking a go. However if you know this isn't suitable for you then you can use hand portion sizes as a guide. 

Definitely not! Life will always be full of social events & so it's important to learn to work around them. If you begin now and just take one step towards the person you want to be, that is progress.

Yes! You will get access to my app where you can upload progress photos, weight, measurements. You can also log your lifts within your workouts & rate how you found them, as well as ticking them off so you know how many you have completed. 

You can and it will be perfect to help keep you accountable to your training. There are 2 cardio days & 2 active recovery days where you can do your half marathon training whilst still fitting in the resistance workouts. Alternatively you can follow your own resistance / run programme & use the group for the all important support on your journey.
