Training Era: How do I fit it all together?
We've spent the last six episodes talking about exercise selection, position, stability, force production, recovery, adaptation, and what training actually is. But now comes the question every woman asks: "Okay Amy... but how do I fit it all together?" The strength training. The walking. The Zone...

Training Era: The Same Unsexy Sh*t Builds the Best Bodies
A few months ago, I asked you about your health and training. And almost all of you said some version of the same thing: "I feel like I'm doing all the right things... so why isn't it working?" You’re training. You’re walking. You’re eating protein. You’re trying to tick all the boxes. And yet…

Training Era: The Muscle-Building Signal Most Women Never Create
This is THE episode the whole series has been building toward girl. We've done the position work. We've done stability. And now, we finally get to talk about force production and mechanical tension— the third layer of the Training Hierarchy and the actual thing that drives muscle growth…
more -
Training Era: Why You Keep Flaring Up (And How to Build Stability)
You can find the position. You can stack your joints, create your brace, get yourself organised. And then the set gets hard — and you lose it all. You start to feel her in your lower back. And every damn time you try to deadlift or back squat you flare her up. That's a stability problem girl. And...
-
Training Era: Why Your Body Isn't Changing (It Starts With Position)
You can work as hard as you want girl. But if your position is off, the signal won't make it. Today we go deep on position — the first and most important layer of the Training Hierarchy. Because before we talk about progressive overload, before we talk about how heavy you're lifting, before we…

Training Era: Have You Actually Earned the Right to Lift Heavy?
Today I'm breaking down the Training Hierarchy — the complete framework that sits underneath everything I teach inside Warrior School and everything we're going to cover in this series. Once you have this girl, you'll understand exactly why your training is or isn't working. And you'll know what…

Welcome to The Training Era: Exercise Isn't Training
Welcome to The Training Era. Girl — If you feel like you’re doing everything right. You’re consistent. You’re showing up. You’re training, eating well, you’re trying to sleep, manage your stress. And your body is just... not responding the way you want her to. And you’re exhausted from trying so...
-
From relationship to results: how you actually build the body you want
Over the past six episodes, we’ve been talking about the relationship you have with your body and your training. But the next question is: How do you actually build the body you want? The strength. The muscle. The energy. The confidence. So, those outcomes are not goals. They are adaptations. And...
-
The Relationship Era: Surrendering to the timeline — Why body recomposition takes longer than you think
In this episode of the Warrior School Pod, I explore why building the bod you love often takes longer than expected — and why fighting the timeline can actually slow your progress. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with body recomposition, strength training results, or fat loss progress, this...
-
The Relationship Era: Where are you actually at? (The assessment that changes everything)
In this episode of the Relationship Era, I wanna introduce you to a different way of thinking about training — one that changes how you approach your workouts, your body, and the entire practice of strength training. Because training isn’t a checklist. Training is a system. And if you don’t...

The Relationship Era: The three systems that actually drive fat loss, muscle gain & body recomposition
This is Conversation four inside The Relationship Era on The Warrior School Podcast — and today we’re talking about why your bod doesn’t look or feel the way you want her to… and what actually creates muscle, fat loss, strength, energy, and confidence. Because here’s the truth: You don’t get to...
-
The Relationship Era: You’re doing everything right — But you’re in the wrong relationship
You can be lifting four days a week. Tracking your protein. Walking your steps. Doing a lot of the "right things". Trying — really trying. And still be in a strained relationship with your body. This is what I observed in 2025. Not a lack of effort. Not a lack of information. Not a lack of...
-
The Relationship Era: Checklists don’t build bodies strategies do
Last year I watched brilliant, capable, badass women exhaust themselves trying to tick every box in women’s health and fitness — protein, creatine, steps, HIIT, sleep, supplements — and still finish the year asking the same question: “Why isn’t my body changing?” In this EP, I’m breaking down the...
-
The Relationship Era: The five observations that will change how you train (And what 2026 requires)

-
Doing “all the right things” but your body won’t change? You’re missing the prereqs
Warrior woman — if you’re training consistently, eating “pretty well,” doing the steps, doing the protein… and your bod still isn’t shifting the way you expected — this episode is for you girl. Because this isn’t an age problem. It’s not a hormones problem. And it’s definitely not a motivation...

Stop letting bad programs wreck your bod: the programming upgrade every woman needs
