Our Success Stories
"I have lost 5 kg (11 pounds) over the 8 weeks of this program. It came off slow and steady which is how we learned is best. I was injured for quite some time and was becoming very disappointed with the 10 kg I had gained over time. It almost got to the point where I gave up on myself. Maybe I am too old, maybe it is menopause. My mindset was getting very negative and hormones all over the place due to perimenopause. Your program has been an absolute blessing. I feel invigorated, rejuvenated, and stronger mentally and physically. I want to lose 5 more kg the right was as this program has taught me how to do and be the inspiring coach I once was, especially as I age gracefully. I am so thrilled with the weight I have lost and the muscle I have gained."

Frequently Asked Questions
I AM LOOKING FOR A MEAL PLAN. DOES THIS PROGRAM PROVIDE ONE?
We do not provide a meal plan in this program, as this course is designed to empower you with the knowledge you need to plan your meals moving forward without relying on someone else to do it for you.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THIS COURSE?
Anything you purchase from me, you will get lifetime access to it (for the lifetime of the Hailey Happens Fitness App).
HOW LONG ARE THE WORKOUTS?
We provide both 60 and 30-40 min strength workouts and 30-60 min cardio workouts.
HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK IS THIS PROGRAM?
Being that the goal for most women joining the challenge is wanting a modest amount of fat loss over the ten weeks, we will need to move six days a week to create energy expenditure that will produce weight loss. Each week has 3 strength training days and 3 cardio days (mix of LISS and HIIT/SIT).
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS COURSE?
If you are working out from home, you will need the following: dumbbells (preferably a few different weights), long resistance band, short resistance (booty) band, swiss ball (optional), and a TRX (optional). If you are working out at a gym, you will need the equipment above as well as a leg press, leg extension, leg curl, back extension, and barbell (dumbbells can be used in the place of a barbell).
HOW OFTEN DOES THE PROGRAMMING CHANGE?
The workout program changes to new programming every two weeks to provide the body 2 weeks to adapt and move on to new programming during the 10 weeks. We don’t rotate weekly as we want to give the body a chance to get enough out of the program before we move on. Honestly, I would love each program to be 3-4 weeks. if only the challenge was longer. You can repeat this program and add weeks after the course is over if you like.
IS THIS MAX STRENGTH HEAVY LIFTING?
No, this isn’t. The goal of this program is fat loss, therefore, we have to be in an energy deficit which requires us to either move more or eat less. Research shows that higher volume programs burn more calories and since the goal is to maintain muscle and lose fat, this is the best approach. If you are looking for heavy lifting, you can check out my Power, Strong, or Physique Happens Programs.
I AM LOOKING FOR AN ACCELERATED WEIGHT LOSS COURSE. IS THIS THE RIGHT COURSE FOR ME?
No, this is not a fast paced weight loss course. The calorie budget we provide is a ball park (closest estimate that we can give you with the information we have) and the energy (calorie) deficit is modestly aimed at losing ½ -1 lb per week over 10 weeks (weight loss is not a guarantee). This course provides the tools to arm you with the correct and healthy way to lose weight sustainably over a lifetime.
I DON’T WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, CAN I STILL JOIN THE COURSE?
Absolutely! We have women that join for many different reasons. You can eat at maintenance and still do the workout plan as well as complete the rest of this course with the lectures and education.
I CAN’T ATTEND THE LIVE ZOOMS, ARE THEY RECORDED?
Yes, we record and upload the zooms within 24 hours of completion. You can also submit your questions to a google form to be asked to the expert for the week.
