Starting from scratch. Together.
Pip Cameron is a high country station cook, mum of two, author, and entrepreneur.
She's also just had a double knee replacement.
And on Monday 7th September, she's starting the Beginner Strength Programme.
She’s starting now because she’s ready to rebuild her strength and fitness, and work towards getting back to doing more of the things she loves — walking, skiing and adventuring with her family.
She knows it will take time, but she’s ready to start.
If you've been waiting for the "right time" to start, or for someone to start with, this is it.
"I’ve spent the last few years sitting on the benches. Two new knees and a new beginning. Come and join me."

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
→ “I don’t know where to start with weights” → “I feel unfit and a bit out of my depth” → "I'm recovering from surgery or an injury and want to start moving again" → "I've had a long break and I'm not sure my body is ready" → "I need something gentle enough to rebuild from, but that will actually get me somewhere" → “I’ve tried before but couldn’t stick to it” → “I want to feel stronger, but not smash myself” → “I need something simple, realistic and supportive”
You don’t need to feel motivated | You don’t need to feel confident.
You just need a safe place to begin.
A programme that meets you where you are
This isn’t about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about building consistency, slowly and sustainably.
→ Start with 1–2 workouts a week → Build up gradually when you’re ready → Keep sessions short and achievable → Repeat or pause when you need to → Missed a day? No drama — just come back
Because real progress doesn’t come from going all in.
It comes from finding something you can actually keep coming back to.
Not sure where to start? We’ve got you.
That’s exactly what this programme is for.
Once you register inside DediKate, we’ll help you choose the right starting point and guide you through the challenge step by step.
You’ll be able to start gently, build gradually, and move at a pace that feels right for you.

FAQs
What if I’m really unfit?
That’s exactly why we created this challenge. You can start with low impact workouts, walking, light weights or no weights, and build up gradually. Even one workout a week counts.
Do I need equipment?
Most workouts use simple equipment like dumbbells, but don’t let that put you off — you can absolutely get started with what you have at home and build from there. We’ll guide you along the way so it feels manageable, not overwhelming.
All you need is a small space to workout and either a phone, tablet or laptop.
- 1 set of Dumbbells, 1-3kgs (light weights) or kitchen cans. Use whatever you have and you can build from there!
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes — we’ve got you, whatever your starting point is.
Can I do this if I’m peri or post menopause?
Yes and this is a big part of what makes DediKate different.
We’ve included peri to post menopause options throughout, so you can train in a way that supports your body, your energy, and how you’re feeling.
How long are the workouts?
Most workouts are between 15–30 minutes — designed to be effective without taking over your day.
It’s about consistency, not hours.
Do I have to do all the workouts?
No. Start with Workout 1 each week. If you’re feeling good, add another. The optional workout is there if you have the time and energy, not because you have to do it.
What if I miss a week?
No problem. Just repeat the week or pick up where you left off. This challenge is designed for real life, not perfect weeks.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — you’re in control.
You can manage or cancel your membership at any time through your account.
What if I have questions and need support?
We’re here to help. You can get in touch with Kate and the team anytime by emailing support@kateiveyfitness.com

I love the variety of DediKate but also knowing that the programme is based on up to date research. Being a long term DediKater has allowed me, at age 76, the fitness and confidence to continue to pursue my passion for riding and training my horses.
