What is the StudioCrew?

This body positive community is as unique as you are!

I get it. Taking a weight-neutral, body positive approach to health + fitness, when we live in a diet culture can feel like mission impossible. 

Where do you even start?! 

That's why I created the Super You Mindset. This 12-module course is all about YOU seeing diet culture for what it is and breaking free so you can find redefine health + fitness on your terms. 

Th StudioCrew is a safe space to stay in the conversation as you complete the Mindset course and continue the conversation once you're done. So you can develop and sustain health + fitness practices that work for you and your (real) life for life!

When we have the support of like-minded peers we can be buoyed by camaraderie. Knowing you're not alone is on its own a total game-changer. 

As your coach I'm here to guide and encourage you when it feels like the vortex of diet culture is sucking you in.

What Studio Members are Saying

So thankful I found this community!

Heidi V.

Being a member of the Super You community has played such a huge role in my intuitive eating/body acceptance journey! When I first joined the group I was looking for something that would support my goals around movement and nutrition, but that was completely shielded from diet culture (really tricky to find!). At that time especially I found anything that mentioned diets or losing weight to be really off-putting, and I just couldn’t handle being exposed to that at all. Super You allowed me to rediscover my love of movement from an authentic place, and to pursue my goals in a safe space with like-minded individuals. I am so thankful I found Gillian and this group!

I am grateful

Rolanda M.

Who knew that you could build a health community where women would support one another and be successful moving their bodies and engaging in fun healthy activity without being told that we were fat or otherwise unacceptable...where the woman that completed a triathlon would be cheered along side and with the same enthusiasm as the woman that got up after an illness or a bit of depression and walked around her block...where the leader didn't tell us what success was, but rather asked us what success looked like to us and then helped us achieve those goals. I didn't know that could be a thing, but I see now that it is, and I am grateful.

This is a Game Changer!

Niki R.

Joining the Super You Studio has been a game changer for me. Gillian's approach to health and fitness is easy to understand, inclusive, and sustainable. Since joining, Gillian has helped me to clarify and simplify my goals and provided easy to follow advice to keep me moving forward. The online resources are invaluable and the group of women in the studio are incredible, like-minded individuals. We have all become cheerleaders for each other for where we are at in our journeys.

The Tool I've Been Waiting For!

Julia W.

I’ve had two months in the Super You Studio; I haven’t even finished working through all of the amazing content and lessons (there’s THAT MUCH), and I still feel like this has been the life changing tool I’ve been waiting for. The content is so easily understandable and applicable, Gillian is her usual approachable, open hearted and supportive self, and the community is like no other. As a group, we are vulnerable yet strong, and have dove deep into our own journeys towards health and happiness. The best part? We the members are in the driver’s seat. We have a say in what content we want in the studio, how we want to be supported, and what our own version of a healthy lifestyle looks like. There is no set program, just all the information, workouts and support you need to create your own program.

I feel in control of my health!

Liz M.

The Super You Studio has helped me to move forward in all aspects of my health. For the first time, I feel I have the tools to make the right choices, and I feel in control! By joining the studio, you get the most amazing videos and resources to help you achieve your dreams at your pace! In all other programs, I'd "fall off" because there was never space for injury, illness, or a birthday. Here there is constant support and coaching from Gillian, all from a positive, compassionate lens.

One of the best things I have done for myself

Janet C.

This is a great group and added bonus is that Gillian is one of the best coaches you will find. She is real, down to earth and speaks about realistic goals and not fitting into a perfect cookie cutter “fitness” person. Tons of health support too...so much more than a gym membership and easy to fit in to your own schedule. A great group online to connect with too! Honestly, it’s one of the best things I have done for myself and my own health and well-being.

Thank you Gillian!

Jen V.

THANK YOU Gillian, as always. You have a gift with reframing, encouraging, supporting and clarifying! This is the first group I’ve been in where we didn’t all have to follow the same “plan” - where “you do you” is encouraged and all body-honouring practices are welcome. It’s been life-giving for me (and I’m sure everyone else too!) during this crazy pandemic year.

FAQ

  • Why do I have to do Mindset first?!

    In the past, much of the content we cover in mindset was included in StudioCrew membership for members to peruse at their leisure. But what members told me was they felt overwhelmed (and thus...didn't peruse at all!). They wanted guidance and support to navigate the content. Because the ideas and information we'll cover in Mindset are the foundation of our weight-neutral, body positive StudioCrew philosophy, taking the course first ensures we're all on the same page! It will genuinely give you the kickstart you need to settle into this approach and philosophy!

  • I’ve been a member of other online groups in the past. It seems like a good idea but I don’t seem to stick with it! How will this be different?

    The Super You approach is unlike other online challenges or programs. It’s about you having the support to follow your own unique path and rock it. This isn’t about me giving you a detailed program and laying it all out. It’s about me helping you discover what the right pieces of the puzzle that are for you and giving you the real-life tips and tricks to actually implement them - long term!

  • What if I go to fitness classes/ a studio in my community too, can I still be a member?

    Heck yeah! That’s amazing. The Super You Studio isn’t about replacing your fave fitness class or local studio - it compliments them! I want you to engage and embrace whatever fitness solutions that work for you. That’s the whole point of this Studio and Community - to have the knowledge, insight and confidence to totally ROCK the approach that works for you. And hey, that might even be making use of the Move Membership bundle! Bottom line: when it comes to all things health + fitness - you do you!

  • Are there any nutritional products promoted within the group?

    HARD NO. Absolutely not. This is not an up-sell opportunity. If you have a nutritional product you love - awesome. But this is not a space for sharing that, nor will you find me talking about it. PERIOD.

  • I don’t have Facebook, can I still participate?

    You totally CAN, but there is an element of the Studio you’ll be missing (one I think can be really instrumental in supporting you!): your fellow StudioCrew members! That said, I get it, Facebook can be a scroll hole and one that isn't always conducive to our mental health! So... In the Studio Platform you'll be able to ask questions and engage with the community. Your membership also includes a monthly Group Coaching call via Zoom (web-based). This will be a lovely non-facebook way to connect with the community! If you do decide you'd like to connect with the Facebook Community without falling into the Facebook vortex, what I’ve had some clients do in the past is create a "legal" alias account (with a legit name and image to keep Facebook happy) but not sharing it out. Then only using Facebook for our community. That way they get the benefit of the community without falling down the rabbit hole of Facebook time suck!

  • Will there be opportunities to meet up in person?

    The beauty of the online community is that there are going to be people who identify as women from all over the world participating (yay!). You will have the opportunity to connect online through the group and it is my hope that this translates into live meet-up opportunities. This will be facilitated primarily through the Facebook Community. I will be encouraging people to host meet-ups using the events feature. This is a great way to meet like-minded health and fitness friends for in person support!

  • Do I have to follow Intuitive Eating to be a member?

    Absolutely not, however there is no "diet talk" within the community. We don't discuss weight, weight loss or any restrictive eating styles. We do encourage Intuitive Eating because the framework encourages you to eat in a way that serves you and your (awesome) body. Ultimately it's about YOU eating in a way that works for YOU and is sustainable.
