The fitness industry wants you to believe perimenopause requires complicated solutions.

But after helping hundreds of women navigate this transition, I’ve found the opposite is true.

You don’t need more information - you need CLARITY.

Simple, accessible strength training. Even with Just 1 hour a week. Real results that last.

That’s how my clients are increasing their energy, sleeping better, and feeling stronger than they have in years.

(And they’re increasing muscle mass, adding bone density and future proofing their body too).

No extreme diets. No complicated workouts. Just straightforward guidance on what actually works for women over
40.

What you need from a coach one week to the next will probably change.

Real life will keep lifing.

And we’ll keep adapting, so you’re still one of the priorities on the list.

If you want a straight forward and realistic approach to getting stronger and healthier in midlife, drop me a message 🙂

Ever told yourself…
"I'll deal with that later."
"It's not urgent yet."
"I'll start when life calms down."

You're not alone.

When it comes to strength training, perimenopause prep, or just getting your energy back - it all feels like a future problem.

Until suddenly, it's not.

Until you're shocked by how hard it is to get up from the floor.
Until your energy crashes mid-afternoon.
Until you realize your balance isn't what it used to be.

Here's the important bit:

You don't start strength training because something's wrong. You start so things STAY right.

Inside Strength Essentials, we make that first step simple, doable, and realistic for your actual life.

No hour-long workouts. No complicated routines. Just 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times a week.

DM me "READY" if you've been putting this off but know it's time.

A really lovely week that made me appreciate what my body can do, and where my energy levels are back to ☺️🙌🏻

Ever notice elderly people taking stairs one at a time, always leading with their "good leg"?

That's what happens when we don't train our bodies for the movements that ACTUALLY matter as we age.

Here's a simple tweak that could save your independence decades from now:

Swap those high-intensity step-ups in HIIT classes for STEP-DOWNS instead.

Why? Because step-downs:�• Train your body for the movement pattern that prevents falls (controlling your descent)�• Build strength in your knees, hips and glutes exactly how you'll need them in real life�• Improve balance and stability far more effectively than bouncy step-ups�• Challenge your muscles eccentrically (the type of strength that declines fastest as we age)

This is exactly the kind of "small change, big impact" approach we use in my Strength Essentials program.

It's not about fancy equipment or complicated routines. It's about training SMART for the body you want 10, 20, even 30 years from now.

Drop me a DM if you're curious about other simple tweaks that could future-proof your body in just 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times per week.

It doesn't matter what HRT or supplements other women (including me) are taking.

They're not magic pills that'll make you feel back in touch with your body or recognise yourself in the mirror again overnight.

I wish this wasn’t true, but what works for ME won't necessarily work for YOU. Your body, symptoms, and health history are uniquely yours.

Any PT recommending a generic list of supplements (or worse - suggesting specific HRT without medical training) is doing you a disservice. This isn't about popping pills - it's about building a stronger, more resilient body that can weather hormonal changes.

What ACTUALLY helps my clients thrive through perimenopause?

✨ Targeted strength training that builds muscle when hormones are working against you�✨ Evidence-based nutrition strategies (as a qualified Nutritionist, I focus on what works, not trends)�✨ Learning to listen to your body's signals instead of fighting against them�✨ Building confidence to have informed conversations with your doctor about options like HRT

One client recently told me: "For the first time in 3 years, I feel like I'm driving this body instead of it driving me."

That's what we're really after, isn't it?

Drop me a message if you're tired of random supplement lists and ready for an approach that's actually tailored to YOUR body and YOUR life.

I've got space for 2 new 1:1 clients before my doors close until January.

This feedback from Amy really gets to the heart of what I do.

So many women come to me feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice:�• "You need to do more cardio!"�• "No, strength training is better!"�• "You should be working out 5 days a week!"�• "But don't forget to rest!"

No wonder it feels impossible to know what's actually necessary.

The bottom line? Most women don't need complicated programmes or hours in the gym. They need CLARITY on the minimum effective dose that will strengthen their body for the long haul.

That's exactly what I focus on - cutting through the noise to find what works for YOUR body, YOUR schedule, and YOUR goals.

Because when you're clear on exactly what to do and why you're doing it, consistency follows naturally. And consistency is where the magic happens.

What would change for you if you had this kind of clarity around exercise in midlife?

Emma arrived at our first session with a 22-page workout plan she'd downloaded from Instagram.

'I tried following it for two weeks,' she sighed. 'I was spending 90 minutes in the gym and felt completely lost.'

This is what happens when perimenopausal women try to follow programmes designed for 25-year-old fitness influencers with endless time and energy.

The truth? When you're juggling work, family, and fluctuating hormones, simplicity isn't just nice - it’s necessary.

That's why I focus on full-body strength sessions that give you maximum results in minimum time.

No complicated splits. No confusing supersets. Just effective, efficient training that respects your time and energy.

Emma now trains 3 times a week for 45 minutes using simple, progressive full-body workouts.

Six months later, she's stronger than ever and actually ENJOYING her gym time.

Strength training doesn't have to be overwhelming. The basics, done consistently, can give you the results you need - especially for midlife women.
