We’re often told to “just talk to your doctor” when it comes to perimenopause.
And absolutely — medical support matters.
But there’s another piece of the puzzle that often gets missed: specialist lifestyle support.
Nutrition.
Strength training.
Building and maintaining muscle.
Recovery.
Stress management.
Understanding what your body needs as it changes.
You shouldn’t have to navigate all of this alone, or spend years feeling like you’re just “getting older.”
You deserve support from someone who understands women, perimenopause and the lifestyle changes that can make such a difference.
And the women I work with are proof that you can feel stronger, more confident and more in control of your body again. 💪
Navigating menopause isn't something you just have to put up with.

50s, 60s and 70s and still lifting weights. 💪
This is what I want more women to see.
Strength training isn't something you "grow out of".
In fact, as we get older, it becomes more important.
We're working on:
Building and maintaining muscle
Supporting bone health
Improving strength, balance and mobility
Building confidence
Staying active and independent for longer
And perhaps most importantly, these women are proving that you're never too old to get stronger.
You don't need to start fit.
You don't need to know what you're doing.
You don't need to lift huge weights.
You just need the right support, the right programme and a willingness to start.
Imagine how different you'll feel six months from now if you start today.
DM "WAITLIST" to find out about my next 4-week programme.
This is how Saturday mornings should feel.
Beautiful sunshine, a calm sea, stretching by the water, a refreshing dip and plenty of laughs with a brilliant group of women.
Then, of course… a catch-up.
Our Stretch & Sea Dip is about so much more than exercise.
It's an hour to step away from the busy week, move your body, get outside, breathe, connect and leave feeling refreshed, energised and ready for the weekend.
And when the North East gives us a morning like this… you absolutely make the most of it! 💙
Fancy joining us next Saturday?
DM "SEA DIP" and I'll send you all the details.
13 years ago today… 🎂🇳🇿
For my birthday, I decided a normal celebration just wasn’t enough. 😂
First up: a 134m bungy jump with an 8.5-second freefall.
Then… a 300m swing into a canyon on the Nevis Swing. 😳
Looking back, I think this is exactly why I strength train now.
Because getting older shouldn’t mean making your world smaller.
I want to stay strong enough to run, climb, explore, have adventures, scare myself a little 😂 and keep saying YES to the things that make life memorable.
Strength isn’t just about what you can lift in the gym.It’s about what you’re strong enough to do with your life.
13 years later… I still want that same sense of adventure.
Would you do the Nevis Swing?

Join us tomorrow 07:30 stretch and sea dip.
20min stretch and dip in sea.
Bring your yoga mats and meet us next to Riley Fish Shack.
A morning to reset, recharge and feel invigorated
Train for the life you want to keep living.
That's the message I want more women to hear:
Don't train just to look different.
Train to stay capable.
And yes... apparently my kids think I'm weird. I am🤣

"I was really nervous about joining..."
These words mean so much because they're exactly how many women feel before they walk through my door.
They worry they're not fit enough. They worry they'll be judged. They worry they won't be able to do it.
My job isn't just to coach exercise.
It's to create a safe, supportive environment where women feel confident to get stronger, understand their bodies and build healthy habits that last.
Nicola, thank you for trusting me with your journey and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Watching your confidence grow has been incredible, and I'm so proud of everything you've achieved so far.
If you've been thinking about starting but feel nervous, know that you're not alone. Every woman starts somewhere, and you'll be supported every step of the way.

It might seem small, but celebrating every win builds confidence, consistency and momentum.
That's how lasting change happens.
We don't just celebrate weight loss. We celebrate showing up, lifting a little heavier, doing your first push-up, hitting a new PB, or simply walking through the door on the days you didn't feel like it.
Progress isn't about perfection, it's about collecting small wins until they become life-changing results.
Who's ready to earn their next sticker? ⭐
A huge shout-out to Joe and Dave from The Woodworks next door!
When I mentioned that myself and some of my shorter clients struggled to get the full range of motion on the leg press, they didn't hesitate.
They made us a custom platform so everyone can train safely, comfortably and get the most out of every rep. 💪
It's little things like this that make a big difference.
At Cheryl Tanner PT, it's never about making clients fit the equipment, it's about adapting the environment so everyone can succeed.
Thank you, Joe and Dave. We really appreciate your support! 🙌
The best kind of reset doesn't come from your phone... it comes from taking an hour for yourself.
Every Saturday we come together to: Stretch and move our bodies, go in the sea, enjoy an optional cuppa and breakfast with plenty of laughs.
It's not about being the fittest.
It's about creating space to breathe, connect and start the weekend feeling refreshed, energised and supported.
Whether you join us for the stretch, the dip, the coffee or the community, you'll always be welcomed.
