This course will also have our renowned Jessica Ennis Ab section, a core training element within each session aimed at helping you gain the enviable core strength that this mum of two and former GB athlete has.

I confess. I’m a coffee addict and I love all coffee, espresso, Americano, even cappuccino although my favourite is a short Cortado or a freshly brewed espresso pot in the morning. Yet, despite all that, I gave it up in April.
Why? Because I asked my clients to go caffeine-free for our Transform Six week Challenge and so I thought, if I was asking them to do it, I should too in support (the fact that I was the ONLY one to do so however, will be something I’ll raise with them all!).
There were a few more reasons too, the fact that I always needed to run to the toilet as soon as I had a coffee (perhaps lactose and caffeine related) and because I had this general idea that I was perhaps drinking a bit too much.
What is too much though? Well, I’d always have one first thing in the morning before I was coaching at 5am, although in truth this would usually only be a few mouthfuls, then one when I got home, and perhaps another couple in meetings or to keep me awake. Doesn’t sound much, right?
Yet, on the first week of giving up, my headaches were just AWFUL! And the desire to drink coffee was like a terrible itch that wouldn’t go away.
It’s funny because, over ten years ago I went to Portugal to write about a juice retreat for The Metro newspaper, where I had to give up not just coffee but food too (lots of juices and broths). But I didn’t get any headaches then and I was drinking similar amounts. And I think that’s because the world of coffee has changed hugely since then.
Back then, you’d get a bit of a weak coffee from Pret and that was about it. For Londoners in the know, Flat White, the Kiwi coffee shop on Brewer Street was the first of it’s kind. Now, there are coffee shops selling fantastic coffee on every street corner (sometimes three within a few shops of each other) and it’s MUCH stronger than it used to be. Everything from how it’s roasted, the blend, the type of coffee bean ALL effect the amounts of caffeine.So whereas a Pret coffee might give you a light buzz, nowadays most coffee will have you gabbling and firing through emails as if you’ve had a shot of something far more illicit than coffee.
Indeed, The Food Standards Agency guidelines released in 2008 recommends 400mg for the average person, about EIGHT cups of coffee. I’d be a gibbering wreck on eight cups!
And another reason why coffee is so hard to give up is because coffee shops have come of age, they’re cool, nice places to hang out so they’ve become a social occasion, somewhere to meet friends instead of going to the pub, a place to go for meetings, hell, even a place to sit and work, where means buying coffee. Which all means that my first three weeks were hell.
While alcohol-free drinks have finally started to move on (Erdinger is my favourite) alternatives to coffee in cafes have not. Decaf coffee, I hear you cry. Well, yes, but I’ve definitely had a buzz of some decafs too which I shouldn’t have done. And if I’d kept the ritual of coffee drinking, I think it was only so long before I’d slip back.
So, what have I drunk instead? I started off having fresh cinnamon sticks in hot water which is really nice, then lemon and hot water and lots of pepper mint tea. I’d have almond milk chai lattes in coffee shops and nip to a juice bars for nut milk based drinks. Delicious, but both are expensive and often full of sugary items.
But gradually, day by day, I found peppermint herbal tea was enough.
It was my intention to return to drinking coffee at the end of our last six week course but then something weird happened. On the last week, when I taught four mornings which required me to get up at 5.15am, and then work all day (often writing features for national magazines) before coaching until 8pm at night, I realised I felt more alert, awake and free of that horrible feeling of being wired WITHOUT coffee.
So, now eight weeks on, I’m still largely caffeine free except for the occasional sip that I steal from my partner’s cup in the morning (I’m not THAT virtuous). The hardest thing now about not drinking it now the craving has gone is the social side; having a coffee after a bike ride, meeting a friend, going for a hot drink and a croissant (shhh!) after an open water swim. I’m not sure the solution to that yet but I’m going to try and fine one.

We will have three course times, 6.15am-7am, 7am-7.45am and 9.45am-10.45am. You must commit to one time slot only. The eating plan will also be available to purchase separately. USE THE CODE SBB FOR 20% EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT – OFFER ENDS midnight 26th MAY 2017
Summer is knocking on the door! Let the sunshine in to your life, refresh your eating habits, challenge yourself to try something new with our two weeks of healthy movement including yoga, Pilates-inspired core work, obstacle adventure sessions and lots more.
It will also be accompanied by an eating plan based on the principles of the Fast Mimicking Diet.
Everyone has heard about the 5:2 diet and how successful it is for weight-loss and your health. But, here’s the rub…it’s pretty miserable fasting every week for two days. The new FMD eating plan, devised by Valter Longo, professor of gerontology and biological sciences at the University of California, involves cutting calories for just five days per month and it has been shown to have the same positive effects, improving cholesterol levels, BMI, reduced blood sugar levels and blood pressure, not to mention your waistline.
This course will involve 3 x 45 minute exercise sessions per week aimed at improving lean muscle mass, mobility and cardiovascular health – and confidence! Fun and effective, all you have to do is turn up.
**Please note this course and eating plan is NOT suitable for diabetics and you should consult your GP if you have any health condition that may be contraindicated with a intermittent fasting plan.
Book via our booking page. Assessments are additional at £30 for pre and post.

Skipping and boxing
At Fitbitch, we’ve been coaching women for over seven years of all different ages, fitness backgrounds and goals; some want to lose weight, others to run their first 5km and still others who want to achieve a PB marathon. Add to that my experience as a journalist, interviewing women about health, fitness and weight-loss and the common behavioural trait as to why goals are NOT reached is, what I call, the ‘scatter-gun’ approach.
It’s not difficult to see why, as women, we tend to approach exercise, dieting and fitness in this way. We are often juggling careers, family, relationships and busy social lives and so we feel we can’t fit in regular exercise or healthy eating. It means that when we suddenly think, ‘Oh, I need to lose weight, must get fit,’ we leap on to one diet or exercise system, do it for a brief stint then drop it. Back to square one, until we see another exercise class or new diet and try that for a bit.
But it is not the intense juice fasts nor the Burn Fat in 21 day programmes that work. Not for long anyway. If you want to feel good about your body and fitness all the time, not just three weeks in the summer holidays, or you really want to achieve a race PB or to get to that stage where you love running, it is about consistency.
This means exercising every day or five days out of seven and eating healthily most of the time. This doesn’t necessarily have to mean that you’re lifting heavy weights one minute, running the next, cycling another day (that’s just me!) . It’s about moving your body in some way.
Our current challenge community (free to join) included the goal of cycling every day in May. It didn’t have to be far or fast. You might think, ‘Oh, I don’t have the time for that.’ But this woman did, despite having two kids and a very busy career.
If there is one thing that I think Fitbitch has become a specialist at, it is helping women to achieve consistency. Just one of our four week courses helps you to create a habit, and you learn lots of new things about healthy eating, exercise and new types of workouts. Most importantly, it creates a LOVE of exercising and this is crucial. If you love something, you’ll find the time.
So if you really want to get to a stage where exercising is as a natural as having your morning cup of coffee and you feel and look great all the time, why not try our next four week course, Ultimate Summer Body Transformation starting Monday June 6th at Queen’s Park or Hove. Small group, personalised exercise courses, the effects will last way beyond four weeks.
