The StrongHer Space Harrogate

We launched… and you showed up. 💚

Thank you to every woman who walked through the door, gave it a go, and made the first StrongHER Space sessions what they were.

The StrongHer space is never just about a workout.

It’s about having a space where you don’t feel judged. Where you can start exactly where you are.
Where strength isn’t about how it looks, but how it helps you live your life.

🫶🏻Lifting your kids.
🫶🏻Getting up off the floor.
🫶🏻Feeling more like yourself again.

That’s what we’re building💚

A space for women who are tired, busy, and juggling a lot but still want to feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their bodies.

And the best part?
The atmosphere in that room… we do have a giggle.

So thank you. For trusting it. For trying it. For being part of it from the very start.

This is just the beginning 💚

Strength. Confidence. Community.

Thank you Harrogate Town AFC Community Foundation for support these session.

Muscle strengthening exercise is essential for building bone density, supporting long-term musculoskeletal health, and in later life, maintaining balance and protecting women’s independence.

But women are less likely to strength train at every age of their lives than men🚨

This means tens of thousands of women living in poorer health, just because they’re women.

This is unacceptable.

If we’re serious about supporting women to stay active throughout their lives, we need insight, evidence and action.

We’re currently scoping our next piece of work on women in later life so we can do just that.

If you’d like to support us with this, and our other vital work, please donate to our charity today.

When your strength drops
When your mobility tightens
When your body stops sharing the load properly

👉 something else takes over

And that’s when pain shows up.

At StrongHER, we don’t chase sore spots. We rebuild the system underneath them.

✔ Strength where you’ve lost it
✔ Movement where you need it
✔ Confidence in a body that actually works

No pressure. No ego. No pretending you’re 25 again.

Just real women, building bodies that hold up to real life.

Life feels better when your body works with you.

Stronger legs
A steadier core
More mobility so everyday movement feels easier.
Energy that lasts beyond the workout.

That’s what we build in the StrongHER Space
strength, mobility and confidence for real life.

📍 Oatlands Community Centre
🕕 Wednesdays 6:15pm

Move better. Feel stronger. Live life with more ease.

There’s always that moment in a big class…

You’re not 100% sure what you’re doing

Everyone else looks like they’ve got it

So you just… carry on and hope for the best.

We’ve all done it.

Small group is different.

You don’t get lost in the room and guess your way through exercises
And you don’t have to “keep up” with anyone

You just… get better at moving your body properly.

(And yes… I will notice what your glutes are doing 👀)

Small group. Big difference.

Your knees and your back… let’s talk 😬

They’re usually the ones getting the blame☹️

Knees: “gone”😭
Back: “playing up again”😤

Meanwhile, your glutes, core, hips and ankles have been… doing the bare minimum(quietly clocked out, if we’re honest)😬

Your body works as a chain.
If the support system isn’t working → load gets pushed elsewhere.

Most often?
👉 Knees and lower back.

At StrongHER, we don’t chase sore spots.

We train the system:

✔ Strength
✔ Mobility
✔ Control

Result?
You stop feeling fragile
and start moving like your body works.

👉🏻 This is what health inequality actually looks like in real life.

👉🏻 “I’m just tired.”
👉🏻 “I don’t feel motivated.”
👉🏻 “I don’t have time.”
👉🏻 “Walking into a class on my own feels daunting.”
👉🏻 “Perimenopause has knocked me.”
👉🏻 “Juggling family and a career”
👉🏻 “Money”

💬 These were some of the answers when I asked my clients what’s the number one reason they find exercise hard.

It’s not about people not caring about their health.

It’s about how hard it feels to actually access exercise when you’re juggling work, kids, energy, confidence, finances, hormones… everything 😢

So instead of ignoring those barriers…

We’re building our classes around them.

✔ Small groups
✔ WhatsApp support
✔ No pressure
✔ Clear guidance (albeit an inconsistent timer 😂)
✔ A space where you don’t feel out of place… no matter what 💚

Which one do you relate to most?

Your answer might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

ps…. You ladies were fabulous tonight and my skill with the timer was on point, even if I do say so myself self 💪🏻

🐶 Public Service Announcement:

This tiny puppy has been hired as the official motivation officer for StrongHER Space.

And he’s here to remind you…

So if you’ve been thinking:
• “I should probably start exercising again…”
• “I want to feel stronger but gyms aren’t my thing…”
• “Maybe next week…”

Consider this your gentle puppy-approved nudge.

What is StrongHER Space?

A supportive strength class for women who want to:
💪 Build strength
💚 Improve balance and mobility
✨ Feel more confident in their body
👭 Exercise in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment
