It Takes Less Than You Think To Stay Fit & Energized For Life

 

We'll Help You Find Your "Minimum Effect Dose" of Exercise So You Finally Know You're Doing Enough 





The Enemy of the Good is the Perfect


The catch-22: All you want is to feel healthy and strong but you're so exhausted by all the "shoulds" and "have-tos", you end up doing nothing at all. Or what little you do manage just never feels like it's enough. There seem to be a million things that need to be in place before it's enough. To the point, you end up feeling like you're always 10 steps behind.


If you're an everyday person with a REAL life, there's a good chance you're stressed out trying to tick a bunch of boxes JUST to feel like your workouts "qualify".  And often, the pressure comes from feeling like the only reason to train is to look a certain way. But what about feeling accomplished, self-sufficient, and capable? 


It doesn't have to be this hard. And it doesn't have to take up so much mental bandwidth. 


You deserve simplicity and clarity around fitness.



Imagine....

Finally Being Consistent 

No more on again, off again. You'll no longer view stops as failure, but see yourself as strong for persevering.

Having Scalable & Flexible Options

Instead of having your fitness derailed when life happens, you will know exactly how to scale your workouts to fit your life.

Being Free of Pressure

Good-bye "shoulds" and "have-tos". Imagine listening to your own wants and needs, instead of the fitness world's.

Knowing You're Doing Enough

Imagine worrying less about outcomes and "needing to do more" because you value your efforts more.

been out of fitness a while? We've got you covered with our Onboarding workout series

80% of the results with 20% effort 

(doing what actually matters)

Wherever you are on your fitness journey, the answer is the same: achievable, bite sized actions that are clear and easy to follow, and give you the peace of mind that you're doing enough. 


Now think about what the rest of the fitness world offers: overwhelm, pressure, focus on arbitrary things to do, feeding off fears about not doing enough, being broken, or chasing the latest trend. We don't do that.


Imagine letting go of all the things that don't move the needle much anyway, leaving more energy to enjoy the journey.

Lori
Night and Day Difference

I'm 55, and now all I want to do is the "minimum effective dose" that will keep me strong, fit and energetic so I can fully enjoy life.


Before EWS I was frustrated with my inability/unwillingness to follow longer, performance-goal oriented fitness programs as well as I would like to. It was like a series of never-ending small failures.


I now look forward to my workouts, and don't worry about following any set-in-stone program. No more feeling guilty and frustrated because I'm not able to do what I was "supposed to" do according to a long program.

Barbara
No More Stressing!

I was constantly getting myself stressed to the hilt about not making my 3-4 workouts a week, especially since getting a new job that required longer commutes.


Now I aim for one main workout a week, and maybe a small workout during the week. Since I've been doing that, it's been much better.


And, with the live classes, I'm more consistent than ever!


Phyllis
Function, confidence & mental outlook 

Initially I wanted to regain the strength I had lost over 7 years of procrastination! I needed something doable, adaptable to my level and guilt-free! 


I can now squat down to get things out of low cupboards and get back up again unaided. I can carry 15kg bags of cat litter from the store to the cattery without stopping. My balance is better and I can get up and down from the floor a lot better.


Strength training has improved my function, confidence, tone and mental outlook. There are few things that give these returns for such a small investment!

Could This Be Your New Fitness Approach?

Your 

Success Engineered

First: the Minimum Goal

Rather than rehearsing failure by setting unattainable goals, set yourself up for success by aiming for something so doable it's almost impossible to fail. Like a minimum goal of ONE WORKOUT per week.

SECOND:The Wee 3 Plan-B

Even with the best laid plans, life will still happen sometimes. So building in a Plan-B ahead of time will increase your chances of success massively. That's where The Wee 3 Plan-B comes in (Wee 3's are micro workouts).

About Marianne Kane

Marianne Kane wearing Equipped with Strength slouchy T-Shirt, smiling with hands up wide

Before she became a ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, Kettlebell Expert, and mindset coach, Marianne was a Cardiac Nurse working night shift in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast. She saw people struggle to adopt healthy behaviors even after major health-scares. They seemed to lack a sense of agency.


Marianne has dealt with her own chronic, autoimmune pain condition (ankylosing spondylitis) which has created its own challenges to learn to trust her body and not get caught up trying to "fix" everything. 


Since 2010, Marianne has achieved a lot for the fitness world. She founded MyomyFitness, Pull-Up Academy, and Equipped with Strength. She co-founded Girls Gone Strong and Get Glutes, and was named in Shape’s Top 10 YouTube Workout Channels for her short and effective kettlebell workouts, which reach millions of people around the world. Her mission is to help people simplify fitness and make it sustainable and fun. 


   

"Over the years, I've noticed how little people trust themselves along their own fitness and health journey. The industry is constantly telling them they're broken and they shouldn't do things until they learn how to do them "right". There are too many rules, too many boxes to tick, and too much pressure. The path to fitness is getting narrower and narrower, and this is entirely unnecessary. People can move whatever way they want, and the body is strong, capable and resilient. I am walking proof. But what we believe about ourselves changes everything." ~ Coach Marianne

She's Person-Oriented 

Marianne is one of the most effective, sincere, and straight-shooting coaches I have ever been honored to call a friend. She is person oriented and evidence based. She is also extremely kind. I offer her work my highest endorsement.

Compassionate Coach

If you’re looking for a compassionate coach who leads from a place of openness, possibility & joy to support you in your journey to become the best human you can be, you’ve found just that person in Marianne, who has my highest recommendation.

A Woman of Integrity

I have the privilege of knowing Marianne not just as a coach, but as a friend. I endorse anything she puts her name behind because she cares about helping people to the best of her ability and she's a woman of integrity. That is a rare combination.

A True Asset

Coach Marianne trained me online, one-to-one for years. She took a banged up 50 yr old and made him feel younger and more confident. She is also a genuine, caring person, and a true asset to the fitness industry.

Individual & Intuitive

I've met a fair few trainers and coaches over the years, and I can say hand on heart, there is no one who shares the same passion and cares for her clients as much as Marianne does. Even in a group, she understands the needs of each individual and is very intuitive in her training methods.

She Gets It

Marianne really listens and understands the challenges we face with balancing working out and having a life. She creates awesome training plans from which I have gotten stronger! And I feel so much happier and satisfied with where I'm at. She is a truly great coach and mentor. 

Simple & Sustainable doesn't mean you won't be challenged

Sustainable & Sustaining

Imagine where you could be just 1 month from now. Like Barbara - who was dreading her workouts because she couldn’t meet her goal of 3 per week - you could be highly motivated and passionate again. Instead of feeling bad for falling short, you feel amazing for overachieving. 


Or, imagine, like Lori, you’d be 5 months in and realize you hadn’t lost an ounce of STRENGTH by doing ONLY workouts you felt like doing.


Finally, imagine in just mere weeks, realizing how little you need to do to feel the strongest you have in years. And the best part? It’s sustainable, so you can keep feeling strong for years to come.


You’ll always have the “safety-net” of one workout per week to ensure you at the very least maintain what you’ve gained. And even if you do get derailed, getting back on track with a minimum goal is so doable it’s almost impossible to fail.

Best shape of my life!

It was 2 years since I picked up a Kettlebell. I'd hurt my back and lost all confidence in myself.


I was tired of feeling sluggish and inactive and desperately wanted to get back into a community of people working on strength and wellness


Fast forward a year and a half later and I'm back to working out like I used to - my back pain is rare, my swings are looking good, and most importantly, my confidence is back!

Scalable and Fun

I love getting on a live workout or being able to catch up anytime with any of the workouts in the catalog. 


I feel like no matter what kind of things are going on in my life, I can commit to doing these workouts a few times a week. I love how scalable and fun the programming is. I would recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a way to get back into fitness but never feels like they have enough time.

Make fitness work for you

I didn’t workout when my children were young because I could never find time. When I was 40, I discovered KBs and Marianne, and fell in love with the physical results and the strength I gained. 


Since joining EWS, I don’t beat myself up if I can’t make it happen. I’m happy with my wins whether it’s increasing weight, losing a pound or just plain feeling well. I think it’s fun and a great way to learn how to make fitness work for you.
