Whether you are away for long periods of time, travel for work, don't like near a gym or just struggle getting into sessions, this episode is for you. Laura & Emma sit down with long term client Dawn to talk all things travel & consistency.

Dawn shares how she’s continued to build strength, stay consistent, and feel connected, all without being physically in the gym. Before she left for france, keeping up with sessions was something she was anxious about but 2 years later she's maintained her strength and is feeling the benefits.

We unpack:

• How Dawn maintains strength and progress while travelling
• What does an online program involve?
• The mindset shift that makes consistency possible anywhere
• Staying motivated and connected even when you're away
• Why flexibility, not perfection, is the key to long-term results

A fun, honest and relatable conversation that proves you don’t need perfect conditions, just the right plan and support.
