Saved by the Bell

Harpers Bazaar

Published by Harper’s Bazaar, Saved by the Bell follows writer Eugenie Kelly’s transformation from sugar addict and reluctant gym-goer to motivated marathon runner — guided by celebrity trainer Ricardo Riskalla.

In this candid feature, Kelly recounts swapping pastries and caffeine for sprouts, flaxseed oil, and early-morning harbour workouts. Ricardo introduces her to holistic health principles — from raw food nutrition and mindful recovery to unconventional strength training using kettlebells.

His tailored, sustainable approach empowers Kelly to complete her first half marathon, proving the life-changing potential of balanced fitness and mental resilience.

Go hard and fast and you’ll last 100 metres — slow and steady wins every time.
