I get asked this ALL the time… so I thought I’d let my September 8-weekers answer it for me ❤️

This week I asked them to finish one sentence:
“When I started… and now I…”

And honestly I wish I could have shared them all!

Swipe through and you’ll notice something…

Hardly any of them mention the scales.

Coming down the stairs without holding on.

Lifting her own case into the overhead locker.

Getting up off the floor with ease.

Walking up THAT hill without stopping.

Wearing fitted clothes again.
Feeling energised instead of flat.

And finally enjoying a treat without the guilt 🙌

These are the wins that change everyday life. They’re the ones that keep us fit, strong and independent!!!

And none of it came from a crash diet or a perfect plan. It came from my Lifes Hurdle method that allows us to live life while seeing progress like this!

I am SO proud of every single one of these women and we are just getting started 🤩

If you’re reading this thinking “I want that to be me”…

Comment WAITLIST below 👇 and you’ll be the first to hear when doors open for my next 8-week programme.

Sally Gunnell grew up on a farm in Essex, with no lottery funding behind her. In 1993 she won Olympic Gold in Barcelona and broke the World Record in Stuttgart the following year to become World Champion. Along the way, she discovered that winning has less to do with the body than the mind.

In this week’s episode of The Quintessential Questions Podcast with Paul Quinn, we sit down with Sally Gunnell OBE, Olympic, World, European & Commonwealth Champion, World Record Holder in the 400m hurdles, motivational speaker, BBC Presenter and now Founder of Life’s Hurdles.

From pub shifts and hand-written sponsorship letters, to Olympic glory and a world record, to her mission today, Sally shares:

▶️ Why 70% of performance is mental, and how to apply it to your own career

▶️ The moment she broke the World Record and didn’t even know it

▶️ How self-funding her early career built unshakable resilience

▶️ Bringing down the magnitude before an Olympic final

▶️ Why a trusted team matters as much in sport as in business

▶️ What she’s building now with Life’s Hurdles, and why it’s never too late

This conversation is a masterclass in mental performance, resilience, and reinvention and redefining what’s possible at 60!

💬 DM me “SALLY” and I’ll personally send you the full link to the episode.

EPISODE 100: thank you @sallygunnell , Tasha & @luca_bigg & @louisalexanderexplorer & @expattash . This episode is very special and means a great deal to me 🙏🏻💙👊🏻

Comment “WAITLIST” to join my coaching waitlist ❤️

These are the messages that make me smile every single week ❤️

Not because they’re all about weight loss…

But because they’re about women getting stronger, feeling more confident, building habits that last and proving to themselves they’re capable of so much more than they thought.

From lifting heavier weights, to fitting into clothes again, to feeling confident in a bikini, to simply enjoying life without letting it derail their progress…

These are the wins that matter. 🙌

I’m incredibly proud of every single woman inside Life’s Hurdle. 🫶

Comment “Waitlist” to join my coaching waitlist for my next 8-week programme starting in September.

“I feel like I’ve gone from sluggish to supercharged.”

This really is why I do what I do. ❤️

It’s never just about losing weight. It’s about getting your energy back, feeling confident in your own skin again, and no longer feeling like you have to hide.

When you find an approach that works with your life, not against it, the results go far beyond the number on the scales.

Watching ladies like Lizzie transform not only themselves physically, but also build that positive mental attitude while inspiring friends and family, that is the real reward. ❤️

This week inside Lifes Hurdle ❤️

One lady feeling confident and amazing in her wedding dress 🤩

Another had to exchange a medium belt for a small.

One got a surprise compliment from her husband about how strong her legs looked.

Another told us that her body now misses movement when she doesn’t exercise.

🥹

And that’s what I love about this journey.

Yes, weight loss is amazing.

But so are the moments where you feel confident in clothes you’d stopped wearing.
Where you have more energy.
Where you’re getting stronger.
Where healthy habits start to feel normal instead of a constant battle.

These women aren’t living perfect lives.

They’re busy, juggling work, families, holidays, stress and everything else life throws at them.

They’re just choosing to keep showing up, one step at a time.

I wish I could share every single check-in we receive because the wins go so much deeper than a number on the scales ❤️

So proud of our Lifes Hurdle ladies this week!

First time doing park run today 33.54 as a time with 3 hills, not too shabby. Decided to treat myself to a wee bottle of Bombay sapphire. It’s all about balance ❤️❤️🙌

What a week of consistency and prioritising yourself looks like ❤️ I had a party last weekend where I enjoyed making memories, eating amazing food and having a couple of wines. Straight back into focus and tracking my meals, getting my workouts in and getting my steps done that’s balance ❤️ joining @lifeshurdle has been life changing for me ❤️ cheeky wee PB on a 5k this morning as well 💪

Completed couch to 5k yesterday 🙌 I have been on this roller coaster of weight loss for a loooong time. I have tried every diet and concoction under the sun. I lose a little but then lose the motivation and never stick to it. Rebounding and putting the weight back on…. Until I signed up with @sallygunnell and @luca_bigg through @lifeshurdle #I have been working with Sally and Luca since July of last year and I can honestly say that this time is different. Their balanced approach to this has been life changing. They teach the importance of consistency over progress, one meal does not undo months of consistency. It’s ok to have a holiday, a meal out or just a bad day it won’t ruin everything but the choice you make after that holiday is what makes the difference. You just get back on your journey no guilt, no making up for it just enjoying life ❤️ if your considering a journey like mine give Sally a follow, you won’t regret it x

My weight now starts with a 6 again 🥹

That’s what one of our ladies shared in her check in this week. She hadn’t seen that number since 2022.

But honestly? That wasn’t even the part that got me.
It was the bit after where she talked about looking in the mirror and actually being happy with what she saw.

That’s the bit that makes me love what I do!!! 🫶

Inside @lifeshurdle this week we also had someone back doing planks after toe surgery... a lady getting into clothes she’d packed away... and another who kept up 3 workouts a week on a 2 week holiday 👏

These aren’t perfect people with perfect lives. They’re just women who are prioritising themselves, but honestly in a way that allows them to live life at the same time!

I wish I could share all the wins I get sent weekly!

I’m beyond proud of my “Hurdlers” right now! (they called themselves that!!! 😂) 🫶
