Congratulations Fay 🎊 🏃🏼‍♀️

Fay started training with me in August. Fay is a keen athlete & regularly runs & cycles competitively. Her events calendar is jam packed all year round.

Fay was struggling with uphill cycling & felt she just didn't have the strength in her legs to propel her forwards or endure the slow climbs.

She also wanted to beat her previous race times on bike & on foot, & generally see her overall strength improve.

One word to describe Fay - competitive.

Over the past seven weeks, we have focussed on upper & lower body strength training, core conditioning as well as circuits to develop Fay's endurance.

We have reassessed her protein intake & how to manage fuelling for races vs fuelling for strength training & factoring in rest & recovery.

Fay regularly says to me 'I would never have thought to do that' or 'I would never have pushed myself like that on my own'. And this is where having the help & support of a personal trainer can really make a difference.

Today, Fay completed the Peterborough Half Marathon in 1:43:38 & smashed four minutes off her previous time.

Fay did mention that competitors get apple crumble & custard at the end of the race. But Fay is certain training in the gym these past weeks, is what has made a difference to her performance.

Well done Fay 👏🏻 You have worked so hard over these past weeks, & what you achieved today is well deserved. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress we can make over the coming months.

I was having a conversation with one of my clients, & she said something which made me feel really quite sad.

She has been on this journey 11 months, dropped over 10kg, is fitter, leaner & stronger than ever, both physically & mentally & yet she was met with criticism from family & work colleagues.

For context my client now has a healthy BMI of 23, she's 5ft 1 & weighs 57kg.

One or two hadn't seen her for quite a while - another noticed the gradual change in her appearance & confidence.

'You're too skinny'

'You don't want to lose anymore, you don't look well'

'I've been training for years, how can you can lift more than me'

Think about what my client has been through:

• Made the brave decision to ask for help
• Stepped into a gym for the first time with high anxiety
• New to medical menopause & not recognising herself
• On/off fatigue due to stress & low iron
• Battled constant shoulder & arm issues
• Faced her own body confidence issues
• Faced machine anxiety in the gym
• Showed up week after week
• Never missed one gym session in between
• Learnt & adapted to a whole new world of nutrition
• Made positive changes that have now become daily habits

This doesn't read like someone who should be criticised, does it?

💡 The truth is - the way someone responds to another person's success says far more about their own character than it ever will about the person succeeding.

💡 Be proud of your journey, your determination, the struggles, your wins, big & small & everything in between & don't let another person's criticism shrink your awesomeness. 🌟

♀️ Midlife women, let’s talk about your strength bank.

As a qualified Menopause Movement Coach & PT - one of the messages I really want the women I work with to hear is this:

Don’t wait until menopause to start investing in your muscles & bones.

Think of your strength & bone health like a bank account.

The more you build up your savings earlier in life, the more you have in reserve as you move through perimenopause, menopause & beyond.

Bone health is a lifelong continuum. Osteoporosis is at the highest-risk end, but many women have lower bone mass without having osteoporosis - & that can still increase fracture risk.

The good news is that there is SO much we can do.

🦸🏻‍♀️ Resistance training helps maintain muscle strength & mass
🏋🏼‍♀️ Weight-bearing exercise provides strength for our bones
❤️ Exercise supports cardiovascular health
🧘🏻‍♀️ It benefits mental wellbeing
👵🏻 And regular movement supports healthy ageing & independence

This is why I don't believe women should simply be told to “keep active” through midlife.

The type, intensity & progression of training matter.

As a trained Menopause Movement Coach, I have undertaken specific education to understand the changing needs of women through perimenopause & menopause, & to support them with evidence-backed exercise & training approaches.

So if you're a woman in midlife, I want you to know:

👉 You don't have to wait until something goes wrong before you start investing in your health.

And if you're already exercising, this is a great time to ask yourself whether your training is giving your muscles & bones the stimulus they need.

Your future self will thank you for the investment you make today.

If you're a midlife woman & you'd like support with your exercise, get in touch. Let's make your strength, bone health & long-term wellbeing part of the plan.

Also, ask me about the Menopause MOT, designed to get you better acquainted with your menopause body.

I overheard two women in the gym this morning.

One said, “I feel sick.”
The other replied, “That’s a good thing.”

And it got me thinking…

Since when did feeling sick become the goal of a good workout? 🤢

Working hard is absolutely part of training. Challenging yourself, getting stronger & progressing are all important.

But feeling like you’re going to be sick isn’t a badge of honour, & it certainly isn’t proof that you’ve had a better workout.

Nausea during exercise can happen when you’ve pushed the intensity too high, become dehydrated, overheated, eaten too close to training, or simply asked more of your body than it can comfortably handle at that moment.

There’s a big difference between challenging yourself & making yourself feel unwell.

You don't need to crawl out of the gym, feel destroyed or have your head down the toilet, to know you've had a productive session.

For most people, especially as we get older, progressive overload, good technique, consistency & recovery will take you much further than constantly chasing exhaustion.

Putting your body under constant extreme physical stress means you won't be able to recover as quickly & place yourself at high risk of injury.

So if you're training and thinking, “I feel sick, but that must mean it's working…”

It doesn’t. ❌️

Train hard. Challenge yourself. But you don't need to make yourself ill to make progress.

A little history lesson.. as it's Menopause Awareness Month.

Pre 1950s women experiencing menopause symptoms were treated as having a psychological condition or deemed 'neurotic'.

Early forms of HRT, were prescribed not to provide relief for women, but to benefit their husbands - adverts in the 1940s openly assured men that taking these pills would make thier wives 'pleasant to live with again'.

Dr. Robert Benjamin Greenblatt, was a highly respected medical professional who established the world's first academic department of endocrinology.

Greenblatt proved in 1950 that estrogen had a clear & direct effect on the vasometer system which triggers hot sweats (our body's thermostat). Greenblatt along with a group of colleagues went on to create The Kupperman Index - a list of just 11 menopause symptoms.

He & his colleagues helped spark a shift from treating menopause as a mental illness to treating it as a legitimate endocrine & biological transition.

Greebblatt likened the season of Autumn to the time a woman experiences menopause. He championed that women should see it as a phase of colourful transformation & not a time of darkness & misery.

'A woman in the Autumn of her life, deserves an Indian Summer, rather than a Winter of discontent'.

What would we have done without his pioneering research?

What would he think to the list of 100 known & lesser known menopause symptoms we have today?

And why, over 75 years later are we still having to fight to be heard, or taken seriously, when we reach out for help?

With 4.13 billion women & girls living in the world, whom the majority of, at some point will experience perimenopause & menopause. We need change.

I am a Personal Trainer & a Licensed Advanced Menopause Practitioner & advocate for better care & understanding for women navigating this stage of life.

October is Menopause Awareness Month, with World Menopause Day on 18th October. ♀️

When I started my journey as a Personal Trainer, I was also beginning a very different personal journey with my own female health.

For 10 years, I tried pills, implants & medication for pain, bleeding, inflammation, bowel symptoms & mood - with little relief.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis, fibroids, suspected endometriosis & perimenopause. After years of unanswered questions from the NHS, one private appointment finally gave me the answers I’d been searching for. I was 40.

My treatment? Medical Menopause. My ovaries switched off, oestrogen production stopped - & for the first time in years: no pain. No bleeding.

But menopause came with its own list of symptoms: hot flushes, brain fog, exhaustion, joint aches, hair thinning, dry skin, sore eyes, a sore tongue… & plenty more.

My own experience inspired me to train as an Advanced Menopause Practitioner with Menopause Movement. I’m licensed to deliver the Menopause MOT assessment & support women through their own menopause journey.

I bring together my first-hand experience, evidence-based training & the experience of working with real women - because I know how valuable it is to have someone who genuinely understands.

I’ll always champion better awareness, understanding & care for women navigating perimenopause & menopause - because women deserve better than simply being handed the next pill or being told it's part of ageing.

If you’re a woman in your 40s or beyond & you’re finding that your body, energy, confidence or fitness feels different to how it used to, you’re not alone.

My PT sessions are designed around you - your body, your goals & where you are right now. No judgement, no intimidating gym environment (I'm based at Hinckley Leisure Centre Gym) & no expectation to - just push through.

If you’re ready to feel stronger, more confident & more at home in your body, I’d love to work with you.

Where do I begin?

OK, November 2025, & into the gym walks this nervous woman, head down, self conscious & even a little tearful.

When she started her journey, Chrisy had just recovered from a total hysterectomy, & she had a really difficult time adapting to medical menopause. And I will always remember something she said to me that first session 'my husband thinks I'll last a week'.

But in her head, she gave herself to November this year (12 months) to make the changes she so desperately needed to see.

In August, Chrisy hit her weight loss goal. She was already ahead of her target. September she attended a family wedding, wearing a dress she'd set her heart on.

Chrisy, sent me a photo of her at the wedding & the difference actually made me emotional.

Where was that lost woman that walked into the gym in November 2025?

Standing in this photo, a stance of confidence, her head held high, her posture straight, & smiling... this petite 5ft woman looking 7ft tall.

The journey hasn't been without it's challenges, Chrisy is still struggling with her neck & shoulder but she has never given up. This is going to be a long process of physio & rest.

Chrisy has been consistent, adapted & trusted the process.

We have just switched up her sessions to include more walking to add to her step count each week, & she's now after 11 months hard work:

• 11kg down
• 12 inch lost
• 11% body fat down

And has found her happy place.🌸

Chrisy you're incredible!

Jennifer was really struggling with energy & tiredness.

A busy school teacher, left her with very little time to eat throughout the day, leaving her starving when she got home at 6pm. A busy mum, meant she felt she had little time in the morning to prepare something nutritious.

Ongoing energy dips, & crippling tiredness led her to reaching for a quick fix, a chocolate bar, or something high sugar she could grab on the go. And Jennifer became stuck in this spike & dip cycle.

After visiting the GP & having various tests for hormones, iron, thyroid, vitamin deficiancy & all coming back clear, it was time to see if nutrition could make the difference.

Four weeks ago, we took a proper look at her nutrition habits & developed a plan that would work for her. This included a nutrient dense, high protein snack at around 3pm, & spacing out her food throughout the day, which would curb those sugar cravings as soon as she walked in the house.

Three meals a day wasn't going to work for Jennifer - when some days she'd go up to 6 hours without fuelling her body. Some days she was running on empty.

We also upped her protein intake, which would leave her feeling full, & help stabilise her blood sugars.

Today, it was like training a new woman. Colour in her cheeks, lifting weights not attempted before, shoulder pressing like a woman with a mission, new energy - this woman was on fire.

Jennifer told me how she was packing lots of high protein snacks to take to school, & her hunger levels were better & she felt better in her whole body. Her husband has started cooking healthier meals in the evening & she wasn't craving that quick sugar fix as soon as she finished at 3pm or walked in the door at 6pm.

We also added some extra cardio into Jennifer's fitness plan to increase her daily steps, a home bodyweight session & her existing strength sessions. And, she now has the energy to get them done.

It was such a good feeling to see Jennifer feeling so much better, energetic & pushing herself.

Well done Jen 👏🏻

If you’re in your 40s or 50s & finding that your body, energy, confidence or relationship with exercise has changed, I want you to know something:

You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not alone. 🧡🩵🩷

Perimenopause & menopause can be a time of huge change.

Hormonal fluctuations can affect how we feel physically & emotionally, & things that once felt easy can suddenly feel much harder.

Maybe your confidence has taken a knock.
Maybe anxiety has crept in.
Maybe you don't feel comfortable in your body anymore.
Maybe exercise feels like something you should be doing, rather than something you actually enjoy.

But this can also be a new chapter - one where we learn to work with our changing bodies rather than constantly fighting against them. 🌿

As a Menopause Movement trained coach, I’ve developed evidence-based knowledge to help me understand the changes women can experience through perimenopause and menopause.

This training, supported by my own personal experience of being placed into medical or (chemical) menopause since January this year, means your coaching isn't going to be about pushing you harder or handing you a generic workout plan.

It’s about you.

Your goals.
Your experiences.
Your confidence.
Your current stage of life.
And finding movement that feels achievable, empowering & enjoyable.

Together, we can build strength, support your fitness & help you feel more confident in your body - without judgement & without the pressure to be who you were ten years ago.

You deserve to work with a coach who understands that menopause is about more than hot flushes.

Choose a coach with evidence-based menopause education. Choose support that sees the whole you.

If you'd like to chat about how I can help you reach your fitness goals, while navigating menopause, get in touch, drop me a message, WhatsApp or email [email protected].

Fiona has been training with me since March.

Fiona was genuinely surprised by the progress she's made over the last six months.

We started Fiona in a calorie deficit a couple of months ago, & she began to see the dial dropping on the scale.

Today, when we totalled up her weight loss at 6kg her response was:

'Wow. It works doesn't it!"

Then we looked at her other measurements:

• Chest & back: 3¼ inch loss
• Waist: 4¼ inch loss
• Hips: 2½ inch loss
• Body fat %: 5% loss

Fiona's reaction:

'It's quite a lot when you see it written down, like that. No wonder my clothes feel baggy. I feel so much better & not horrible in my clothes anymore!'

Fiona doesn't just use our sessions to get physically fitter; she uses them to support her mental health & menopause symptoms, & I've seen first hand how her resilience has grown.

'With all the stress that has been surrounding me, if I hadn't had this journey to focus on, the gym sessions, I wouldn't have coped as well as I have!'

I am so proud of Fiona, she shows up for herself, week in week out, takes all the advice on board & commits completely.

What a woman! 🦸🏻‍♀️

Thank you for trusting me & the process Fiona 🙏🏻 I look forward to seeing what we can achieve in the coming months.
