This week we are joined by none other than the Lou Kelly aka The Exercise Engineer!
Lou risked it all leaving behind her reliable site engineer job in London to move to Australia and go all in on her fitness business.
Since taking this leap of faith she has gone from strength to strength, helping hundreds of people with their health and fitness goals through home workouts, becoming the gym manager of Change Pagewood and amassing over 25 thousand followers on Instagram at the time of recording.
She has also done all this while going on her own fitness journey from only exercising to lose body fat and burn calories, leaving her in a poor mindset and not liking what she saw in the mirror to now being completely comfortable in her own skin and competing in her first singles pro Hyrox competition this weekend!!
So in this chat we talk about her journey (both professionally and personally), prepping for her first pro hyrox event, the Exercise Engineer, social media and plenty of tips and tricks along the way!
Lou is a funny character so there's plenty of laughs in this one :)
Give it a listen and hope you enjoy!
