Come and join us
Feel confident, capable and strong — at any age.
My women-only weights classes are designed to help you lift safely, build strength, protect your joints and support your hormones through midlife and beyond. With pelvic-health-aware coaching and small group numbers, you’ll feel at home even if you’ve never picked up a barbell before.
Why Strength Training Matters for Women
From peri-menopause onwards, we naturally lose muscle and bone density. Lifting weights is one of the most effective ways to stay strong, stable and energised.
In these classes you will:
-
Build strength that supports everyday life
-
Boost energy, mood and sleep
-
Support bone and joint health
-
Improve confidence in the gym
-
Train in a supportive, women-only environment
Who These Classes Are For
Perfect for you if:
-
You’re 30–60+ and want to feel stronger and more resilient
-
You’re navigating peri- or post-menopause
-
You’re new to lifting or returning after a break
-
You want to understand technique properly
-
You have pelvic floor considerations such as prolapse or leakage
-
You prefer a quieter, small-group studio to a busy gym
What to Expect in Each Class
Every 45-minute session includes:
-
A mobility-based warm-up tailored to women in midlife
-
Coaching on foundational lifts (squats, deadlifts, pushes, pulls)
-
Pelvic-health-aware options to suit your comfort and confidence
-
Progressions that help you lift heavier safely
You’ll always be given options depending on your energy, cycle stage and any injuries or concerns.
Our Approach
Pelvic-health-aware coaching
With expertise in pelvic health and postnatal recovery, I’ll guide your breath, bracing and lifting technique so you can train safely and feel in control.
Supportive small groups
Classes are capped at small numbers so you get personalised coaching, clear feedback and a sense of community.
Evidence-informed programming
Your training is based on research about women’s physiology, midlife hormones and long-term health — not generic, one-size-fits-all workouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m a complete beginner — will I be okay?
Absolutely. Many women join without any lifting experience. We start light, focus on technique, and build confidence step by step.
What if I have a prolapse or pelvic floor symptoms?
You’re in safe hands. I offer modifications, supportive breathing strategies and personalised options so you can train comfortably.
Do I need to be fit already?
No — strength training is how you become fitter. Come as you are.
What equipment do you use?
We work with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and bands, plus mobility tools to support healthy movement.
