One of the biggest myths that still stops women from strength training is the fear of “getting bulky.”

The reality?

Building large amounts of muscle takes years of consistent training, progressive overload, enough food to support growth, quality recovery and, often, genetics that favour muscle gain.

What strength training actually does for most women is:

🔱 Improve strength and confidence

🔱 Support muscle mass as we age

🔱 Improve bone density

🔱 Support joint health and function

🔱 Improve balance and stability

🔱 Help maintain a healthy metabolism

🔱 Make everyday life feel easier

For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, maintaining muscle isn’t just about aesthetics.

It’s about protecting your future health, independence and quality of life.

The goal isn’t to become smaller.

The goal is to become stronger, more capable and more resilient.

And trust me… most women are capable of lifting far more than they think.

I often get messages asking whether Athena is an in-person class.

Athena is actually an 8-week online strength programme designed for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

The programme includes structured strength training, coaching support, check-ins, exercise demonstrations and education designed specifically for this stage of life.

The online format allows women to train flexibly around work, family life and existing schedules — while still receiving guidance and support throughout.

Athena was designed to make structured strength training more accessible, realistic and sustainable 🔱

Strength training doesn’t need to be extreme to be effective.

Research consistently shows that structured resistance training performed a few times per week can significantly improve strength, muscle mass and overall health.

During perimenopause and menopause, this becomes even more important.

The goal isn’t to do more and more.

It’s to train with structure, progression and consistency.

This is the method that Athena is built on 🔱

Shoutout to client Cheryl who’s deadlift photo I used here. She hit a great PB on the axle this week 👏

This wasn’t built in 8 weeks.

This is the result of 18 months of consistent, structured strength training.

A goal was set — and over time, with the right approach, it was achieved.

This is what long-term strength looks like.

Not quick fixes.
Not shortcuts.

Just showing up, building gradually and trusting the process. 🔱

Real feedback from inside Athena 🔱

One of the most powerful parts of this programme is seeing women realise what they’re capable of.

Not just physically — but mentally too.

Building strength, creating time for themselves and feeling better in day-to-day life.

Athena was never about quick fixes.
It was about lasting change.

May cohort now open.

Athena wasn’t created from trends, quick fixes or generic online workouts.

It was built from years of coaching women in the gym — helping them become stronger, more confident and more capable through structured training.

Coaching women through perimenopause and menopause requires more than simply handing out exercises.

It requires understanding energy levels, confidence, progression, lifestyle demands and how to build long-term consistency.

That real-world coaching experience is exactly what Athena is built on 🔱

Closing date for our next cohort is 24th April. DM for all the details or follow link in bio

Strength training in midlife is often viewed purely as a way to improve strength or body composition.

In reality, it plays a much wider role in long-term health.

Research has shown that higher levels of strength and fitness in midlife are associated with a lower risk of dementia later in life.

Training during this stage of life isn’t just about how you feel now — it’s about how you function in the future.

This is why strength training during perimenopause and menopause matters 🔱

Creatine is often associated with strength training, but its potential benefits may be particularly relevant during perimenopause and menopause.

As oestrogen declines, women may experience fatigue, brain fog, reduced strength and loss of muscle mass.

Creatine may help support muscle preservation, strength, energy levels and cognitive function — particularly when combined with resistance training.

This may also help support sarcopenia prevention, which becomes increasingly important during midlife.

This is Part 2 of a short series exploring creatine and its potential benefits during perimenopause and menopause.

As always, supplements aren’t essential for everyone, but they can be a helpful addition alongside structured strength training and good nutrition 🔱
