Struggling for motivation this winter? You’re not alone.

Dark evenings and cold temperatures make it more tempting than ever to stay indoors and fuel up on carbs.

Offering a solution to shifting stubborn kilos while still eating your favourite foods like pizza, ice cream and doughnuts, this balanced program has been a game-changer for thousands.

Train With Ash is a growing online community helps Aussies transform their bodies.

One member that had incredible results is 40-year-old mum Lani, who lost a whopping 25kg while eating her favourite foods, including chocolate.

After feeling trapped in a cycle of restrictive dieting and gruelling workouts, Leilani joined Train with Ash’s Fat Loss Forever program — and never looked back.

She uncovered a different approach to weight loss, one that showed her how eating more and training smarter could actually help her shed kilos.

Of course she isn’t the only one to experience an incredible transformation thanks to Train With Ash.

53-year-old Lisa joined the community back in May 2024 after hitting breaking point.

Looking back at her ‘before’ photo, she sees a woman in pain, hiding behind food, carrying shame and feeling like a failure.

But her journey has been incredible, both physically and mentally.

Lisa has now rebuilt her confidence, found a peaceful relationship with food and learned how to nourish her body without punishment.

Feeling strong, capable and in charge of her future, her journey is more than just a physical transformation.

Train With Ash is a growing online community that attracts thousands of people each intake thanks to its balanced nutrition and minimal training approach.

Founded by Ash Lane, the multi-million-dollar coaching business changes the lives (and waistlines) of thousands.

Unlike traditional programs that rely on restrictions, Train With Ash is designed to fit into the lives of busy, everyday women, especially mums juggling it all.

The 12-week weight loss program does this without restriction, deprivation and tactics.

Instead, it’s centred around your mindset, your fitness and non-restrictive dieting.

With the next free five-day challenge beginning September 1 — you could be the next to transform your body and mind.

Train With Ash is hugely successful for thousands of Aussies across the country, and was built off Ash’s own weight loss journey.

When Ash looks back on her twenties, she remembers the grind — hours in the gym, cutting carbs, skipping cake at birthday parties, and counting every calorie.

“I thought that’s what it took to get results,” she tells Best Picks.

“But I was miserable, and the moment I stopped, the weight would come back.”

After years of trial, error, and education, Ash discovered the science behind fat loss — and realised women didn’t need to live in a cycle of restriction and guilt.

Instead of deprivation, women needed sustainable nutrition, minimal but effective training and education — so people understood why this approach works.

“Training? Just three sessions a week — and no, you don’t have to live in activewear or cancel dinner with friends to make it work,” Ash says.

What started as a small coaching business from Ash’s home office is now a massive online movement.

Thousands of women around the country are dedicated to Train With Ash, with hundreds sharing their success stories and progress shots.

“I want women to know they can have the body, health, and confidence they want — without giving up the things they love,” Ash says.

“It’s not about punishment. It’s about a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.”

The next free five-day challenge starts on September 1. For more information and to get involved, head here now.
