The Higher Standard is online coaching for women ready to lose fat, build real strength, and build a life that holds up outside the gym. No extremes, no guesswork, no losing yourself in the process.
This isn't a quick fix. Most women who start with The Higher Standard stay well past their first ten weeks, because the way we work here actually holds up.
I'm Taylor, personal trainer, online coach, and mum. I started The Higher Standard because I was tired of watching capable, driven women hand their confidence over to a set of scales.
Real coaching isn't a meal plan you can't stick to, or a program built for someone with three spare hours a day. It's built around your actual life: school pickups, deadlines, and the days that don't go to plan.
We track trends, not moments. One number on one morning tells you nothing. A month of numbers tells you everything, and that's the version of progress I care about.
Not a quick fix. A different way of doing this altogether.
Every client works one-on-one with a coach who knows their history, their week, and their goals, not a template pulled off a shelf.
Every package runs on a 10-week minimum, because real change needs more than a month to take hold.
Training and nutrition, built entirely around you. Weekly or fortnightly check-ins keep you accountable without keeping you anxious. This is for the woman who wants a program that fits her week, not the other way around.
Training + nutrition · weekly or fortnightly check-insFor the woman who already trains but wants food to stop feeling complicated. We work with your actual trolley, Coles, Woolies, Aldi, whatever's closest, not a plan you'll abandon by Wednesday.
Sustainable eating · no meal-plan handcuffsTrain alongside your partner with programming built for two. Shared accountability, individual results, one shared check-in.
Couples package · joint check-insGet a free, personalised starting point for your calories and macros. Takes under a minute.
A few words, in their own, from women who've been through a The Higher Standard program.
"I stopped seeing food as the enemy. Six months in, my clothes fit properly and I'm eating more than when I started."
"Three kids under ten, and I finally found a program that doesn't need two spare hours I don't have."
"I lifted weights for the first time in my life at 38. My back pain is gone, and so is the guilt around food."
"For the first time, I'm not counting down to when the program ends. This just feels like how I live now."
Everything you'd want to know before applying.
Packages start from $60 per week depending on whether you choose training, nutrition, or both. Every plan runs on a 10-week minimum, because that's the length of time real change actually needs to take hold.
No. We build sustainable habits around the way you already eat and shop, not a rigid plan that falls apart the first busy week.
Not at all. Most clients start here. Programming is written for your current strength level and adjusted as you progress.
Most women notice a shift in energy and strength within the first few weeks. Physical changes follow with consistency, usually within the first 10-week block.
Yes. It's a large part of who I coach. Programming accounts for real recovery, real schedules, and real life.
