The Abs Projectis back.
A 4-week challenge all about building a stronger core. 12 short ab workouts, a secret WhatsApp group, and a stronger, more controlled you by Christmas. Walk into January already thriving.
The Abs Project, rebuilt from the ground up.
Years ago I ran the Abs Project at Dance Inspires and honestly, it was one of my favourite things ever. Now it's back - with 20+ years of coaching behind it, a Level 3 PT and Pilates qualification, and everything I've learnt about training aerialists properly.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Simple, step-by-step and built around real life - even in the busiest month of the year.
New workouts every Monday
A fresh plan lands in your inbox each week with 3 sessions, coaching cues and a tracker.
The secret Abs WhatsApp
Demos on request, daily nudges, wins, wobbles and a lot of encouragement. Invite only.
Day 1 vs Day 28
Benchmark tests (and optional private photos) so you can see exactly how far you've come.
Thursday check-ins
A 2-minute form each week that keeps you accountable and earns you points.

✦ It's never judged on how you look. Photos are optional, private and only ever seen by me.
Honestly? Everybody.
Hey, I'm Nicola.
I'm the director of Aerial Arts Academy and I've spent over 20 years in dance and fitness. These days I coach aerialists - and everyone else - to get strong in a way that actually supports what they love doing.
A serious shoulder injury taught me that smart, controlled training beats going hard every time. That's exactly how this challenge is built.
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Completely free. Just sign up with your email and you're in.
Do I need any equipment?
Nope. Just a bit of floor space and a mat or towel.
Why is there a health questionnaire?
Your safety comes first. Your welcome email includes a link to a short PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire), the same health check any qualified PT uses. It only takes 2 minutes, it's private and only I see it. If anything flags, I'll get in touch with safe swaps or ask you to check with your GP first.
Do I have to send before and after photos?
No - photos are completely optional. If you choose to send them, they go through a private form that only I can see, never into the group. You can also just do the benchmark tests and measurements instead.
I'm pregnant or postpartum - can I join?
Please check with your GP or midwife first, then message me before you start. I'm pre and post-natal qualified and will give you safe swaps.
What if I miss a session?
Life happens, especially in December. Just pick it back up. Progress over perfection, always.
How is the winner chosen?
Points for sessions completed, Thursday check-ins, improving your benchmarks and supporting the group. You need to complete your Day 1 and Day 28 check-ins to be eligible.
