Lose it before the aisle. Keep it off long after.

1:1 coaching for brides and grooms. Built around your life, not a crash diet.

3 minutes, no obligation

Tick the ones that sound like you.

Ticked more than one? You're exactly who I built this for. Keep going.

It's not just about the date.

It's about after.

Most people crash diet for the wedding. They starve for three months, look great in the photos, and it's all back by the first anniversary.That's not a willpower problem. Crash diets are built to end, so the weight comes back when they do.This is different. We build a way of eating and training that gets you to the aisle and keeps working long after.

What the first few months feel like.

The first few days: the relief.

Before the scale even moves, you'll feel it. One thing on the wedding list is finally handled, and it's you.

The early wins, and making them stick.

Within a couple of weeks: clothes fit better, more energy, better sleep, a calmer head. Even with the planning stress. Built on a plan that fits your life, so it lasts.

It stays off, and it stops being hard.

A couple of months in, the weight keeps coming off. Fittings stop being scary. Food stops running the show.

Built around the wedding, not on top of it.

Tastings. Fittings. Kitchen tea. The bachelors. Every weekend booked. A rigid plan falls over the first busy week, and wedding season is nothing but busy weeks.This bends around it. Training and eating that fit your work, your planning and your weekends. And I'm checking in daily, noticing when you slip and helping you back up. Whether you slip once or ten times, it's just one step back on track. Never a spiral. Never starting over.

Your six months, step by step.

No guesswork. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you apply.

Apply.

Three minutes.

A quick chat.

About the plan to get you there.

Getting set up.

A programme designed for you, working back from the day.

Week 1: starting out.

An assessment, then straight into it.

Month 1: routine.

Daily habits, real momentum.

Month 3: it sticks.

Planning stress can't derail you.

The big day, whenever it falls.

You walk in feeling like yourself. Better than yourself.

By month 6: built to keep.

The honeymoon's done, and the weight's still off. It's second nature.

6 months plus.

Off for good. Yours to keep. Your new normal, together.

So what does that actually look like on a normal week?

Same week. Different you.

Flip the switch to see the same week, a few months in.

What you get when we work together.

A training programme built for you. Designed around your schedule, your level and what you've got access to.

A nutrition guide that fits your life. Real food you'll actually enjoy, nothing off-limits. Wedding tastings included.

Plug-and-play meals. Planned, portioned, zero guesswork.

Me, in your corner. Regular check-ins and daily accountability, all the way to the day and beyond it.

This is for you if…

  • You want to look and feel your best on the day, and you want it to still be there on your first anniversary.
  • You want it to be the last time you ever have to lose this weight.
  • Work, life and now a wedding got the best of you, and you've come last for too long.
  • You want to lose weight without starving, skipping every tasting or hating the run-up to your own wedding.
  • You're ready to put the work in and invest in yourself to get this right.

This isn't for you if…

  • You want to crash off 10 kg for the photos and don't care what happens after.
  • You're choosing based on price alone.
  • You'd rather someone hand you a plan and leave you to it.
  • You'd rather lie your way through a bad week than own it.

Real people. Real lives.

Paused. Let go to carry on

I'm Rae.

I've spent years in the fitness industry, coaching men and women through exactly what you're facing. I've seen every quick fix, every wedding shred, every magic pill. They get you there for the day. Then the honeymoon ends, and so does the plan.I don't want you looking back at your photos and feeling like that was the best you'll ever look. So I coach the way I'd want to be coached: honestly, patiently, without judgement, and without trapping you in "diet hell".When you work with me, you're not a number. You're someone I check in on, notice, and pick back up on the hard days. Before the wedding, and after it.

They give you a 12-week shred.

I build it around your life.

They get you there for the day.

I get you there, and keep you there.

They ban foods and police your plate.

I keep it liveable, tastings and braais included.

They leave you to it.

I check in daily and notice when you slip.

They treat you as one of hundreds.

You're never a number with me.

‘But what ifs’

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we go through it properly on the call. No surprises and no pressure. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you.

My wedding's less than six months away. Is that too late?

No. We work back from your date so you're at your best on the day. But the wedding isn't the finish line. The programme carries on after it, because that's where most people lose it all again.

My wedding's more than six months away. Should I wait?

Don't wait. The earlier you start, the less it ever feels like a diet (it isn't one). By the time the day comes, it's just how you live.

Can we do it together?

Yes. You each get your own programme and your own nutrition guide, because you're two different people. But you're doing it side by side, and that makes it a lot easier to stick to.

I've failed every diet I've ever tried. Why would this be different?

Because those diets were built to lose weight fast, not keep it off. This is built around your life, and I'm with you every step. When you slip, I pick you up. That's the difference.

Do I have to give up everything I enjoy?

No. Tastings, braais, your bachelor's, they're all part of the plan. I build it around your life, not the other way round.

I'm planning a wedding. I don't have time for this.

That's exactly why it's built the way it is. Short sessions that fit your week, meals that are already planned. It takes things off your plate, not more on.

What if I slip up?

You will. Everyone does. It's okay to fall off now and then, but you're gonna need to get back up and carry on. That's my job: I notice, and I help you back on track before it turns into a spiral.

How does it all work?

You apply, we have a quick chat, and if it's a fit, I build your programme and nutrition guide. Everything runs through the app: your training, your check-ins, your daily habits, and me.

Count down with excitement, not dread.

Ready to lose it, and keep it off long after?

Apply, and let's see if it's a fit. Just a quick chat about your goal, your date, and the plan to get you there and stay there.
