Strength training for perimenopause is valuable. Especially if strength training is new to you.

But menopause did not suddenly make lifting weights relevant, and it did not make women’s bodies a problem in need of a branded solution.

If you have never trained before, beginning to lift in this season of life can be profound. You build strength, muscle, confidence, capacity, and a relationship with your body that may have been missing for a long time.

For clients who have been training for years: this is not a crisis. It is a normal life transition.

We pay attention, adjust when needed, and continue the practice that has been building strong, capable bodies all along.

No need to over complicate it.

Any questions?

Feeling like you don’t know how to help? Firstly, take care of yourself. For real. We cannot be of service to others when we are not tending to our own basic needs. No martyrs, mmmkkkaayyyyy?

Then pick one small thing. Like maybe bring some water to the studio next week. We have a designated area set up, you can drop and run. Delivery logistics are taken care of.

Strong communities are made up of strong individuals. See also: “For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.”

Training the body, mind, and spirit like how I respond to life depends on it. (It does.)

I got sober in 2010 and I was rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence. High-intensity strength training became my weekly practice in 2012 and it catapulted me into a deeper embodiment and self awareness that actually had a paradoxical effect— less navel gazing, more awareness of the larger ecosystem I am merely a spec of.

The “joyful burden” is to be blessed with a heart of service. (And service doesn’t mean servitude.) If it’s not in service to the highest good— authenticity, responsibility, community, resiliency, and curiosity then it’s not in alignment.

It’s taken years to learn that service without boundaries is martyrdom and facilitation without self-containment is ego driven.

So we befriend the ego. We fail honestly. We cultivate maturity. And we face reality with open eyes and an open heart.

I am forever grateful that this weekly strength training practice is that— a practice for being with reality, staying with myself when it’s so damn uncomfortable, trusting the “burn” doesn’t last forever, and knowing that my next evolution depends on how hard I recover in between failures.
