THE ATHLETIC PHYSIQUE METHOD

YOU LIFT WEIGHTS. YOU DO YOUR 10K STEPS.

YOU WEAR YOUR BLUE BLOCKERS AT NIGHT.

YOU AVOID MICROPLASTICS AND READ EVERY LABEL.

“WHY DON'T I LOOK LIKE I WORK OUT?”

You've spent hours tracking your food. And you're still tired all the time, puffy, sore for days, and not loving what you see in the mirror.

The Athletic Physique Method builds what your body is missing: strength and muscle in the places you actually want, a fitter engine, a metabolism that works like it used to, and the resilience to handle hard training and a full life without falling apart. Whatever your starting point, we test first and build from there.

LIFTING ISN'T ENOUGH.

No matter what your last coach told you.

YOU'RE LIFTING. YOU'RE EATING YOUR PROTEIN. AND YOU STILL FEEL SLOWER, STIFFER AND MORE TIRED EVERY YEAR.

Lifting makes you stronger. It doesn't give you energy and stamina. Fitness is what lets you recover, builds more mitochondria, helps you use food as fuel and handle more training without needing days off. Most women have built one and skipped the other.

LET ME GUESS. YOU'VE ALSO TRIED FIXING IT WITH FOOD.

Cleaner eating. More protein. Fewer carbs. Tracking every bite. The creatine, the collagen, the gut supplement, the hormone one, the carrot salad.

OR WITH TESTING.

A full thyroid and hormone panel. A GI-MAP. A hair tissue mineral analysis. Genetic testing. Hundreds of dollars spent looking for a hidden cause.

TELLING WOMEN OVER 40 TO STOP DOING CARDIO AND HIIT WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCAMS OF OUR TIME.

POOR CARDIO GETS THE BLAME FOR WHAT BAD PROGRAMMING AND UNDER-EATING DID.

Margie's message crediting cardio for her progress
Margie, client

YOU'RE NOT MISSING A NUTRIENT. YOU'RE OUT OF SHAPE.

You've been treating poor fitness like a nutritional deficiency. The thing that actually gives you more energy and builds new mitochondria is regular, well-programmed cardio. (Don't roll your eyes.)

Get fit and your metabolism starts acting like it did in your 20s and 30s. The energiser-bunny version of you is still in there.

A FITTER BODY MAKES FAT LOSS SO MUCH EASIER.

Building your aerobic base trains your body to burn stored fat more easily. So when you eat a bit less, your body taps into what it's already carrying instead of running on empty. Which means you're not irritable, tired and hangry the whole time you're trying to lean out.

But don't just take my word for it.

DON'T JUST LOOK ATHLETIC.
ACTUALLY BE ATHLETIC.

Every block follows the same four steps, in this order.

01

TEST

Before you train, we test your strength and your cardio fitness, so your program starts from your actual numbers. That works whether you're brand new to lifting or ten years in.

02

BUILD

Strength and muscle, plus cardio programmed to build your fitness and your recovery, not to burn calories. You get fitter and stronger at the same time, without one stealing from the other.

03

FUEL

Food that feeds your training, timed so it turns into energy instead of fatigue. When your base is ready, there's a structured fat loss phase, with or without tracking.

04

RETEST

Your first retest is after 10 weeks, then at the end of every 16-week block. Stronger lifts, better fitness and faster recovery, in numbers you can see.

APM ISN'T JUST A PROGRAM. IT COMES WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW ONE.

What's inside:

Most group programs give you workouts and a group chat. This is what you get in APM.

  • 01

    A PROGRAM BUILT ON YOUR NUMBERS, NOT A TEMPLATE

    You test first, so every weight, pace and heart rate zone is set from your results. Periodised strength phases, %-based loading and your choice of four conditioning pathways, all loaded into the app.

  • 02

    PROOF YOU’RE PROGRESSING, IN NUMBERS

    Retest after 10 weeks, then at the end of every 16-week block. Stronger lifts, a lower heart rate at the same pace, faster recovery. No more guessing whether it’s working.

  • 03

    LIVE COACHING CALLS & OFFICE HOURS, EVERY WEEK

    One week we’re live on a call. The next is Office Hours with Libby: post your question and I’ll record you a proper coaching reply, on video, voice or in writing. Real answers for your situation, not a copy-paste. Every live call is recorded.

  • 04

    WEEKLY CHECK-INS THAT ACTUALLY GET READ

    Every Saturday you tell us what went well, what didn’t and what you need. I reply to every one, so small problems get fixed before they turn into a stalled month.

  • 05

    IN REAL TIME: LIBBY'S PRIVATE BEHIND-THE-SCENES CHANNEL

    I test everything on myself first and share it as it happens. Like measuring my own blood lactate mid-run to find where zone 2 really sits. What I'm eating, what I'm experimenting with, what I'd actually recommend and what I'd skip. The real-life version of the tools I teach you, before it's polished.

  • 06

    OUR PRIVATE FAT LOSS CHANNEL, WITH YOUR OWN THREAD

    Start and finish dates, weekly reviews in the app and Monday check-ins in the private Shift Phase channel. Fat loss with a plan and a finish line.

  • 07

    FORM CHECKS & ANSWERS BETWEEN CALLS

    Dedicated channels for strength, cardio and form checks. Film your lift, get feedback, keep progressing.

  • 08

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

  • You train (or you've tried to) and your body doesn't show it yet.
  • You want to look athletic and actually feel fit: strong, lean and full of energy.
  • Exercise wipes you out for days, and you want to build your capacity back up instead of doing less and less.
  • You're done being told to stop doing cardio and just walk.
  • You want a plan built on your own numbers, not someone else's.

IT'S NOT FOR YOU IF you want a 6-week shred, or you're not willing to do cardio.

Hi friend!

I'M LIBBY.

Coach, hype girl, foodie, outdoor adventurer, and a woman who built her life from the ground up.

I help women get stronger, fitter and leaner without obsessing, living by rigid rules or shrinking their lives to fit a plan.

I've spent 15 years coaching hundreds of women, from elite athletes to busy mums and women with big jobs. I competed in CrossFit at a high level, then walked away from that world and built my own method from scratch: the Athletic Physique Method. It's performance-based coaching. You train like an athlete, chase numbers that actually mean something (heavier lifts, better engines, real conditioning), and the physique comes from the work, backed by evidence-based training, nutrition that fuels performance and behaviour change that holds up when life gets messy.

I've done it myself too. Building muscle, chasing performance and staying strong through hormone changes, health curveballs and a full life outside the gym (mostly in Sydney, ideally on a trail).

What you want is usually reasonable. You can get there without burning out, cutting carbs or living on a permanent diet. I don't chase trends or coach from fear. I'll be honest with you and respect the life you've actually got. I'll also challenge you when I see more potential than you're giving yourself credit for, then back you all the way there.

I'm not for everyone. But if this resonates, you've found your coach. Welcome!

Cheers, Libby

Questions?

FAQS

Who is this program for?

Women who train consistently (or have tried to) but feel stuck with progress, recovery or confidence in how they train. It's ideal if you want to build strength, improve your fitness and reshape your physique without burnout, extreme dieting or guessing what to do next.

Do I need to be “fit” to start?

No. You're tested at the start, check in weekly, and retest after 10 weeks, then at the end of every 16-week block.

Will I get fat loss results from this?

Yes, but we do it in a different order to most coaches. We build the demand first: your training and fitness go up, and that alone starts changing your body composition. Once we've created that demand, we can see what your body actually needs to fuel it, and we stabilise your eating to match. Then you move into a Surge phase to build muscle or a Shift phase to lose fat. Doing it in this order makes fat loss SO much easier, because by then your body has become a fat-burning machine. You're not dieting down a body with no demand on it. You're losing fat from a body that's already using its food as fuel.

Do I have to track my food?

No, it's your choice. We focus on fuelling your body properly and give you flexible approaches, and you can track if you prefer it. Fat loss phases have non-tracking options too, and we've had clients get amazing fat loss results without tracking.

How long until I see results?

You'll usually feel better and notice your clothes fitting differently within a few weeks. Visible changes often show between 8 and 16 weeks, and meaningful body recomposition usually takes 3 to 6 months or more. Strength and muscle gains usually start showing from around 6 to 8 weeks, and VO2 max and HRV improvements from around 12 weeks.

How is this different from Your Monthly Fuel?

APM is coaching: a program built from your numbers, check-ins, office hours and retests. Your Monthly Fuel is my self-led membership: my DIY training programs, the pop-up challenges I run and new content, and it's included while you're in APM.

I struggle to recover from exercise, or I have POTS, ME/CFS or lipoedema. Can I still do APM?

Yes, and this is a big part of what I specialise in. I work with women who have exercise intolerance or recovery issues, including POTS, ME/CFS, post-viral fatigue and long COVID, lipoedema, hypermobility (hEDS) and fibromyalgia. Because we test first, your program starts from what your body can handle right now, and we build only as fast as you recover. Not sure if it's the right fit? Email [email protected] and tell me what's going on.

How much time will this take each week?

The minimum I recommend is 2 strength and 2 cardio sessions a week, and you can combine one strength and one cardio session to make it 3 days. That's around 4 hours of training a week at minimum. Outside your sessions, daily movement and an active lifestyle are important too.

Can I train from home or at a gym?

Either. Train at a gym or with a well-equipped home setup, as long as you can progress the load over time.

Why do you charge in USD?

Most of my clients are outside Australia, so USD is the simplest for everyone.

YOU'RE STILL THAT GIRL.

The one who could run for the bus without thinking about it. Who trained hard and bounced back the next day. Who felt strong in her body, not just in the gym.

She didn't go anywhere. She's been playing it safe: resting more, doing less and protecting herself, instead of building the resilience to bounce back. Let's go get her back.

LOOK LIKE YOU TRAIN.

Feel like it too.
