The Real Girls Movement Studio

Feeling stronger.
Having more energy.
Trusting your body again.

These aren’t ‘nice extras’ — they’re the things that make everyday life feel easier.

I created Movement Foundations because I see too many women stuck thinking:
“𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨… 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵.”

This is the start.
A supportive entry point.
Clear structure.

And a community where you’re met exactly where you are.

If you’re ready to stop putting yourself last — even just a little — this is for you.

Most women over 40 don’t lack willpower.

They’re just exhausted from being told to try harder, eat less, and start over — again.

When movement is only ever about weight loss, it stops feeling empowering and starts feeling like a chore.

So I wrote a blog that asks a different question:
If you likely have another 40 years ahead of you —
how do you want to live them?

Strong? Capable? Moving well?

Or stuck in the same cycle of pushing, quitting, and blaming yourself?

If this hits home, the full post is up now (link in comments).

It might be the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.

And before you scroll past thinking “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳” — let me tell you who this is really for.

It’s for women over 40 who:
🩵 Know they need to do something for their health
🩵 Feel flat, tired, or a bit disconnected from their body
🩵 And don’t want another all-or-nothing challenge

Movement Foundations isn’t about smashing yourself or starting from scratch.

It’s about building a solid base — strength, confidence, routine — in a way that actually fits your life now.

Inside Movement Foundations you’ll get:
✅ Structured, supportive training (no guessing what to do)
✅ Extra guidance to help you build consistency
✅ And a calm, welcoming place to start — or restart — without pressure

If you’ve been thinking “I just need something to help me get going again” — this is that.

When I started The Real Girls Movement, I knew women needed more.

🩵 More than 6-week challenges.
🩵 More than punishment workouts.
🩵 More than being told to “love your body” — but only if it fit a before-and-after.
🩵 More than burpees “just because”.
🩵 More than one-size-fits-all advice that ignored the realities of life after 40.

So I did things differently.

I started with one client, one car boot full of gear, and one clear mission:

🩵 To coach women over 40 in a way that actually supports their bodies and lives.
🩵 To build strength without punishment.
🩵 To create consistency without guilt.

That mission created a community.

And that community?
It’s where women rebuild confidence, strength, and belief in themselves — often after years of feeling like fitness had left them behind.

Long before midlife became a marketing trend or menopause became a hashtag, this work was already happening here — quietly, consistently, and with real women at the centre.

If you’ve ever felt like mainstream fitness doesn’t quite get this stage of life…

You’re not imagining it.
And you’re definitely not alone.

💬 I’d love to know — what do you wish the fitness industry understood better about women over 40?

✨ 500 sessions for Kate ✨

Kate has been training with me since 2022, and today we celebrated a HUGE milestone — 500 sessions.

At 72, Kate is one of those women who just shows up. No fuss. No fanfare. Consistent, determined, and quietly very strong. The kind of strong that often surprises people — including those half her age.

She comes for the accountability, the mental space, and the social connection… and the strength that’s built real confidence along the way. Since joining the studio, Kate has even taken up horse riding again — because this stage of life isn’t about slowing down.

Kate, you inspire more women here than you probably realise — and 500 sessions is something to be incredibly proud of.

✨ What a fabulous way to wrap up 2025 here at The Real Girls Movement… ✨

Today we’re celebrating a huge milestone — Elise’s 600th session 👏

600 sessions built over time.
Week after week.
Year after year.

Over three years of training.

That’s hundreds of early mornings, busy weeks, adjustments along the way — and yes… that's 600 hours hanging out with me 😉

This is what real, sustainable progress looks like.
Not quick fixes.
Not perfection.
Just continuing to show up and do the work, week after week.

Elise, we’re so proud of you and everything you’ve built over time. Thanks for being such an important part of our community 💙

P.S. Yes, the t-shirt says 500 and the banner says 600 — I’m a little behind on milestone merch, but Elise just kept turning up anyway 😉

Your body’s changed — and so should your workouts.

If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to get back to feeling strong, this is for you.

Here are 5 signs you’re ready to start again — the right way this time:
1️⃣ You’ve noticed the workouts or diets that used to work just don’t anymore.
2️⃣ You miss feeling strong, steady, and confident — not sore, stressed, or exhausted.
3️⃣ You’re ready for structure and support that actually fit your life (not a 6-week challenge).
4️⃣ You want to future-proof your body — build strength, mobility, and energy that last.
5️⃣ You’re done “starting over” and want to build something sustainable for this next chapter.

If you’re nodding along, the next Movement Foundations intake is for you.

It’s a 4-week foundation program for women 40+ who want to feel strong, energised, and confident again — without fads, extremes, or burnout.

Our next intake starts in just a few days
