ABOUT
HOLLY ROBERSON

Helping women over 40 take back control of their health, strength and confidence

If you're anything like many of the women we work with, you're probably not looking for another quick fix

You're looking for someone who understands that your body has changed, life is busy, and what worked in your 20's and 30's simply doesn't work anymore

That's exactly why I created StudioHR

I'm Holly, owner and founder of STUDIOHR, a Personal Trainer, Clinical and Sports Nutritionist, and for more than 30 years I've been helping women become stronger, healthier and more confident

But if there's one thing those 30+ years have taught me, it's this...

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health

I've seen every fad diet, detox, miracle supplement and "must-do" workout come and go. I've watched women blame themselves when those approaches failed, when in reality they were following advice that simply wasn't designed for them

That's why everything I do is based on understanding the woman standing in front of me, not forcing her to fit someone else's plan

Exercise is important

Nutrition is important

But so are your hormones, sleep, stress, lifestyle, medical history and the stage of life you're in

When you put all of those pieces together, that's when lasting change happens

My journey into fitness started when I was 16 years old

I was overweight, lacked confidence and simply wanted to lose weight

Walking into my first aerobics class changed my life

By 18 I was teaching group fitness classes, and a year later I completed my Certificate in Exercise Science

Since then I've worked in New Zealand and the Netherlands, owned my own Pilates business, worked as a Les Mills Level 3 Trainer, competed in bodybuilding and, in 2015, founded StudioHR, all while being mama to 3 amazing kids

Along the way I continued studying because I wanted to understand more than just exercise

Today I'm also a qualified Clinical and Sports Nutritionist, allowing me to support women with both their training and nutrition using evidence-based strategies rather than guesswork

Because exercise can only take you so far if the rest of the picture isn't being addressed

At 44, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism, 6 months after my first hip replacement (I now have two)

Suddenly I wasn't just helping women navigate health challenges

I was navigating them myself

It was frustrating

It was overwhelming

And it taught me something I couldn't have learnt from any textbook

Living with a changing body is completely different from reading about one

It made me more curious

More determined

And ultimately, a better coach

Because I stopped looking for the quickest answer and started looking for the right answer

Why women choose to work with me

Most women who come to StudioHR aren't looking to become athletes

They want to lose weight without giving up food they enjoy

They want to socialise and eat meals with their family

They want to feel stronger and be stronger as they age

They want more energy

Better health

More confidence

They want to feel comfortable in their own body again

My job isn't just to give you a workout or a meal plan

My job is to help you understand why your body is responding the way it is and create a plan that works for your body, your lifestyle and your goals

No extremes

No guilt

No starting over again every Monday

Practical, evidence-based coaching that you can actually sustain

What you can expect

When we work together, I'll challenge you when you need it

I'll support you, always

I'll be there to help you navigate when things don't go to plan

I'll celebrate every win, no matter how small

And I won't stop looking for answers if something isn't working

Because your journey deserves more than generic advice

It deserves someone who's prepared to ask the extra question, look a little deeper and help you find a solution that's right for you

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, improve your health, navigate menopause or simply feel like yourself again, I'd love to help
