What is the community?
My Fit for Life Community is a safe, supportive and non-judgemental online group space for you to build a healthy, lasting relationship with health and fitness, activity and exercise.
It's led by me, Han, a Sport & Exercise Psychologist (in training) and built on key principles of exercise psychology and behaviour change science.
what's the purpose?
In the community, we focus on supporting people out of relationships with exercise, food, the body, health and fitness that are driven by fear, pressure, guilt and shame, and into ones that are instead driven by self-trust, choice, autonomy and flexibility.
Removing the guilt and shame and supporting people to find their FREEDOM with health and fitness.
Because being invested in our physical health shouldn't have to be at the expense of our mental health, overall wellbeing, and quality of life.
Using psychology, the community supports you to build an individual approach to health and fitness that supports overall, holistic health and works for YOU, in the context of YOUR REALITY.
No more guilt. No more shame. No more self-attack.
how does it work?
We build guilt and shame-free approaches to health and fitness using the Aligned Anti-Should Framework, my evidence-informed approach to health and fitness that trades guilt, shame and "I should's" for choice, autonomy, flexibility, and alignment with real life.
It helps people build an approach to movement, rest and nourishment that actually aligns with their values, priorities, and wider life circumstances, rather than getting stuck in a "shoulds cycle" of unsustainable, all-or-nothing plans.
In practice, it combines six core principles (including movement driven by choice, health is not a moral scorecard, and flexibility as consistency) with a six-pillar process: clarifying why health matters to you, understanding your real barriers, finding activities that genuinely work for you, setting aligned goals, learning how to sustain them, and responding to setbacks with self-compassion instead of shame.
The result is a move away from short lived, perfection-chasing, urgency and intensity based approaches, to calm, consistent action you can live with, and be content with, long-term.
is it the right space for me?
With monthly learning workshops and monthly themes all based around making positive, healthy and LASTING exercise change that works for YOU, the community is a space where you will be joined by like-minded people, all navigating their own activity and exercise journeys.
There's space to learn more about activity and exercise, and your individual relationship with it...
And there's space to share your frustrations, work through your challenges, celebrate your wins, ask questions, and discuss anything else you'd like to on your exercise journey - all with the support of a like-minded bunch of people, and led by Han.
We're a community with a strong rebel ethos - people who are done beating themselves up in the name of "health" and are ready to build health and fitness on their terms instead.
It's a space for those who are tired of fear-inducing, shame-based, one-size-fits all fitness industry narratives that make you and your body feel like the problem.
We don't conform to the rigid rules presented in those narratives - we do things OUR way, as a group of individuals. Experimenting, adapting and staying compassionate to ourselves while making real, sustainable changes.
We're not rebelling for the sake of rebelling - we're rebelling against fear, shame and perfection - so you can build health that actually fits in and alongside your real life - not at the expense of it! Supporting you to become fit FOR LIFE!
if you recognise yourself in any of the following, this community is made for you...
You often feel guilty or ashamed when your health and fitness endeavours don't go to plan.
You constantly feel like you are never doing enough and always chasing more with health and fitness.
Your sense of self-worth is defined by how well you are doing with health and fitness - how lean you are, how strong you are, how disciplined you are etc.
You're tired of feeling rubbish about yourself when it comes to your health and fitness
You struggle to be active regularly and sustainably
You feel stuck with activity and exercise

You are looking to develop a healthier relationship with activity and exercise
You are keen to explore and build a healthy relationship with health and fitness that is made for YOU and would work for YOU - within and alongside the rest of your real life, not at the expense of it!
What does the community include?
Community
private facebook group
Access to a private Facebook group with all other community members - a dedicated space for YOU. Come in as you are: share your frustrations, celebrate your wins, ask questions, and be reminded you're not doing this alone. A place to be seen, supported and cheered on by like-minded people, all on a similar journey.
live learning WORKSHOP
1 x live learning workshop per month via Zoom, diving deep into a different health and fitness topic through the lens of exercise psychology. Each session breaks down one monthly theme with clear, practical, actionable steps that you can start to implement straight away - plus access to the recordings in our online learning portal for as long as you're a member.
social calls
1 x social Zoom call per month with me (Han) and other community members. Bring a cuppa, be yourself, have a chat, connect - share your experiences, ask questions, or simply listen! A relaxed space to build genuine connections with people on the same anti-should journey, engaging as much or as little as feels right for you.
themed posts for discussion & reflection
In the private Facebook group, I'll post regularly - thoughtfully designed prompts to spark discussion, personal reflection or immediate action around that month's theme. Each one gives you either something to implement, something to connect over or something to sit with - all grounded in the Aligned Anti-Should Approach.
Online learning portal
Through the online learning area, you'll have unlimited access to all live session recordings for as long as you're a member, plus a growing library of guided worksheets, workbooks and self-paced resources - designed to meet you exactly where you're at on your health and fitness journey, so you can work through them at your own pace.
Community+
everything included in the community tier
Everything in the left hand column that forms the community tier is also included in the community 'plus' tier.
small group support via WhatsApp
As well as access to the Facebook group, this tier also includes a small WhatsApp group chat where I (Han) am actively present, offering regular check ins and on-the-spot support. It's ideal if you want something a bit more intensive and coach/psychologist-led, without going fully 1:1. Spaces are intentionally limited so support is not diluted, and you actually feel seen, heard and supported.
group coaching calls
An extra monthly call on top of the two included in the Community tier. This session is dedicated time for members to bring a specific challenge, or something they're working on, and receive focused support, reflections and guidance from me and the group. How long each person gets will depend on how many attend, but spaces in this tier are intentionally limited so the support stays meaningful and never feels diluted.
Community+ 1:1
everything included in the community tier
Everything in the Community & Community+ tiers is also included in this tier.
1:1 Coaching call
As well as everything included in the Community+ tier, in the Community+ 1:1 gives you direct access to me (Han), as your coach and psychologist, with 1 x 60 minute online coaching call each month. This is your focused, individual time to bring everything you're learning in the community together into a coherent, realistic plan for your life, work through limiting beliefs and "shoulds" that keep you stuck, and get tailored support so you can move forwards with more clarity, confidence and momentum, faster than you would alone.

"I don't think I would have tried anything new if it weren't for this group. I'd probably still be stuck on yoga/gym/running as the most effective because they're "true" exercise and ignoring my desire for adventure!... I've proved to myself that starting out can actually be fun even if I'm not "good" at something, and that I can have a varied set of options with more choice and less pressure."

"I really can honestly say if I hadn't got your workbook and been part of this group I'd still be procrastinating about doing any activity at all and going nowhere fast! This really has been such a valuable experience to have been part of."
