Three years ago I couldn't even bend down to pick up the soap in the shower - I can now bend down to pick up an 8kg kettlebell!  The Cafe programme is literally lifechanging.

​02 February - 14 March 2026

​
​

Café Rachel 26 is a six-week health and fitness programme for men and women who want to improve their health in a practical, realistic way.

​

The programme begins on 2 February and is built around the principles of lifestyle medicine. The focus is on what genuinely supports health over time, rather than quick fixes or extreme approaches.

Across the six weeks, we will explore how everyday movement, sensible training, nutrition, rest, and recovery work together to support long-term health outcomes.

​

What the programme covers

Café Rachel 26 supports key areas of health that are important to our health and wellbeing.

​

Each week has a specific focus, helping you understand how movement, training, and lifestyle choices work together to support long-term health.

​

The topics we will cover are:

• Week 1: How exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle can support healthy cholesterol levels

• Week 2: Strengthening your core and pelvic floor for back stability and confidence

• Week 3: Training with weights to support bone density

• Week 4: Energy, recovery, and lifestyle – how to stay active without feeling constantly tired

• Week 5: How Pilates supports overall health and wellbeing

• Week 6: Habit forming and normalising healthy routines

​​

Workouts and movement

The sessions will include a wide range of health and fitness workouts, suitable for different levels and experience. Across the programme, you can expect a mix of Pilates and strength-based training, including kettlebells, circuits, step, stretch and breathwork, back care Pilates, HIIT, functional fitness, standing Pilates, barbell workouts, and metabolic training.

​

To support you with the strength sessions, there will be short introductory videos showing correct technique and good form, so you can feel confident and safe when using weights.

​

A list of suggested equipment is outlined below. You do not need to have everything, and alternatives can often be used, so please get in touch if you would like advice.

​

Suggested equipment:

• Dumbbells (from 2 kg upwards)

• Kettlebell if you wish (starting from 4 kg upwards)

• Long loop resistance band (for strength work and Pilates)

• Optional step (a small step is fine for cardio, but a full-size step is recommended if you plan to do barbell workouts)

• Exercise mat (for Pilates and floor work)

• Pilates small ball

​

If you are unsure what to buy or how to adapt with what you already have, just let me know and I will help guide you.

​

Learning and support

Alongside the movement, there will be short health talks to help make sense of what you are doing and why it matters. These are there to build understanding and confidence, using clear, evidence-based information without jargon.

​

You will also receive a handbook to guide you through the six weeks and beyond. It is there to support reflection, note-taking, and helping you apply what you learn in everyday life.

This is a calm, supportive space. There is no judgement here, just encouragement, learning, and steady progress.

Cost and value

The full six-week programme costs £40. This includes all workouts, the health talks, the handbook, and one year of access to the video library.

​

Additional support

If you have any health conditions, injuries, or concerns, please get in touch with me in advance. That way I can help adapt things where needed, so you feel supported and confident throughout the programme.
