🚨 You’re not broken 🚨

Your body has not betrayed you. You just need to train in a new way.

You may have seen the news, just cardio is not the answer. Women in Perimenopause and beyond MUST weightlift.

Past 35 everything begins to change, even though you’ve changed nothing.

Knees creak and crunch.

You slept, for once, and now your shoulder is killing you.

That weird hip pain your mum had? Lovely, we can tick that off our “I’m turning into my mother” list!

😩

What everyone used to do at this point was say “I’m just old now, should probably slow down”

No. Don’t do it. That’s how you end up frail and unable to stand or walk unaided.

Instead, take this as a sign that you need to do something different.

Something specifically for you.

Something that makes you stronger, more mobile, confident.

Something that protects you for decades to come.

That something… is us.

🤍

Our Menopause Strength Studio supports women becoming powerful from perimenopause to beyond. 🔥

Everyone comes to us with no experience. Most women join saying they don’t like exercise. Some women you may already know 👀

With over 300 members across the club, in Hockley alone, and rapidly growing, we are THE place to make a change. To feel good. To get yourself back.

With over 30 classes a week we have something for you.

Summer nearly killed me

I don’t mean the weather; although being a ginger with hypermobility, heat is basically hell.

I mean the school holidays.

I LOVE my son, he is a gorgeous, beautiful little monkey. He is funny and charming and wonderful.

He’s also mad as a box of frogs, he rarely walks, only runs and when he is in the house the word “mum” MUST be uttered at least 100 times a day.

He ALSO loves to put his nose right up to my nose and say “LoOk At mY bEaUtIfUl FaCe” because I laughed ONCE; so now it’s cemented for all eternity.

There is no order, no routine, there is lots of cuddling (which I try never to say no to because they’re only weany once), lots of mess, SO MUCH COOKING and WASHING.

I have to organise play dates and activities throughout a whole 6 weeks; try not to overspend and think constantly “how MUCH time AM I meant to leave for him to be bored?”

Along with, “I can’t give him jam tarts for breakfast… can I?”, “If I run to the bathroom will he notice me answering emails?” (The answer’s yes, they always notice) and my favourite “I should be enjoying this time more”

Over the 6 weeks I have done SO much… but you know what I haven’t done.

☺️ Had a calm routine
🥘 Eaten enough nutrients and fibre
🥤 Drunk enough water (it’s largely been coffee)
💤 Slept enough (probably the coffee)
🧘‍♀️ Had enough down time
🏋️‍♀️ Done more than 3 workouts
🚶‍♀️ Consistently hit 10,000 steps
✍️ The list goes on…

I have not had time for me.

And I KNOW our clients and members are the same.

It has been tough. I would wager MOST of you have fallen off the wagon you so excitedly had jumped on earlier in the year.

And you know what?

It does not matter. I care, but also… I don’t care! There’s no judgement here.

You and me can take a big deep breath because…

WE MADE IT TO SEPTEMBER 🔥

And September is OUR new year.

Let’s get that routine back, let’s get some predictability back, let’s get our SANITY back!

Because NOW is the time to get OUR priorities on track.

TODAY I’m on hydration.
TOMORROW I’m on nutrition.
MONDAY I’m on my new training programme 🔥

I’m psyched.

Who’s in?

🙋‍♀️

🚨 Free Social Media Marketing Workshop 🚨

Tuesday September 9th 2025
10:30am - 2:30pm
Ronnie’s, Hockley
£10 deposit (this will come off your lunch order, the workshop itself is free)

You MUST book to attend.

We have 400 members now at the Women’s Club, grown from just me, using social media. I have actually been a marketing and sales professional for almost 13 years and my last role oversaw marketing and sales departments, training teams on it and managing commercial development and strategy; I have run my coaching in tandem with my corporate career for 10 years.

I left marketing and sales with no plans to return, and so have no desire to charge for this! The only thing you’ll pay for is lunch provided by the wonderful ’s⁩

I’m running this because many of our members are new business owners and consistently ask me the same questions. Rather than answer separately, I felt this would be a lovely opportunity to bring some bodies to another fabulous local business (Ronnie’s) and bring some value to some other local companies too.

Everyone will be bringing their obstacles, challenges and struggles with social media and we will workshop them together, and I'll bring a boat-load of info and support.

Common questions so far include
- How do I choose my demographic?
- ⁠How do I make people watch/read my posts?
- ⁠What content do I make?
- ⁠How do I get over the nerves on video?
- ⁠And more!

It's a £10 deposit which will be taken off the cost of your lunch!

🔥 PRESALE OPEN — AND YOU’RE INVITED 🔥

We have an AMAZING gym
An AMAZING community
And AMAZING small group coaching…

But we knew something was missing

✨ CLASSES ✨

Not just any classes

Not cookie-cutter HIIT sessions or one-size-fits-no-one fitness.

We’re talking about a space that offers variety, support, and strength training that works for real women, especially the ones who don’t feel “ready,” “fit enough,” or “confident.”

You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to feel strong in your own body.

🗓 From 1st October, our full class timetable launches!

Whether you've:

Never done a class in your life

Been lifting but want a new challenges

Had too much anxiety to start; you’re worried about getting it “wrong”

Had a baby and need flexibility.

Just needed to feel stronger, steadier, and supported again…

There’s a place for you here. 🖤

💥 Class options include:

• Dumbbell – Build strength with lower, upper and full body options
• Bodyweight – boost your strength using just yourself
• Bootcamp – High energy but never high pressure
• Cardio – Feel your power at your pace with high and low impact options
• Mum & Baby – Move with your little one by your side
• Tai Chi – Gentle but transformative
• Flexibility & Mobility – Support your joints, ease your mind and release tension
• Boxing Style Classes – Build confidence and get fit in the best way possible
• Wrist & Ankle Strengthening – A game changer for stability and injury prevention
• Legs & Bums – Because yes, we still love a glute burn
.. and so much more.

We’re adding new class styles based on what you tell us you need.

🧠 This is fitness reimagined for women:

• Low-impact or high-impact? You choose.
• Beginner-friendly or advanced challenge? You’re in the right place.
• Quiet and gentle or sweaty and fierce? We’ve got you.
• Prefer slow strength over speed? That’s our language.
• Nervous and unsure? We expect that. You're not the only one.

This isn’t a gym that shouts at you.

This isn’t a class that judges your pace or your shape.

This is a space where we move with you—at your pace, on your terms.

💛 We know what it’s like to feel anxious walking into a new space.

We coach women every day who are rediscovering themselves after burnout, breakdown, babies, grief, hormonal shifts, life changes… and years of being told their body had to shrink to be valuable.

That ends here.

This isn’t about shrinking.

It’s about expanding into your own strength.

🎟️ PRESALE IS NOW OPEN

Join before our 50 spaces run out and get:
✅ Access to ALL large classes
✅ Flexible booking that fits your real life
✅ Real-time support from our female-led coaching team
✅ The chance to be part of something built for women, by women

📍 Ground Floor, 10 Main Road, Hockley

Whether you're ready to lift, stretch, box, breathe, or just start somewhere, we’re here for it.

🖤 Presale spaces are limited. Classes start 1st October.

📲 Message us now to grab your space or ask us anything.

We can't wait to see you in the studio.

You're stronger than you think and this space is ready when you are.

Downstairs will become home to ✨CLASSES✨

Cardio, calisthenics, mobility, dumbbell classes, HIIT, core, Tai Chi, mat Pilates… the list goes on.

Just. 50. These. Will. Go.

In Peri/Menopause, poor sleep cranks up food noise and tanks your mood.

Yet 71% of UK adults report under 7 hours of sleep a night 👀

This came up in a session; I said I’d stupidly stayed up too late watching Black Panther.

Someone asked what time I went to bed.

I said “10:30” and the room FELL about 😂 they all thought I meant 2am; needless to say I got mercilessly mocked (karma, I think, for the lunges)

I get up at 5am, sometimes 4:30am.

I HAVE to be asleep at 10, or better 9:30, otherwise I miss my 7-8 hours…. And I feel awful.

If my sleep is interrupted ( 👋 peri, 👋 child, 👋 husband’s snores)…

🍬 I crave sugar
😡 I’m grumpy
😭 Tears are shed
🛋️ I’m sedentary
🥱 Hormones are a hot mess

This is not a sanctimonious “ooh I’m so good” post; because trust me I don’t do everything properly!

What I do prioritise, is SLEEP.

Why?

Well aside from my list above, not getting 7-9 hours of sleep increases your risk of diabetes, stroke, depression and more…

On top of all of that if you’re not sleeping enough you;

💪 won’t grow muscle as fast
🥘 will amplify food noise
🤦‍♀️ will increase menopause symptoms

Ick.

If you’re reading this, feeling like you’re being called out, don’t be, you’re in the majority of UK adults; but you can change that.

But I cannot express this enough, one of the BEST things you can do for yourself is prioritise sleep.

Get rest.

Follow good sleep hygiene (think consistent bedtime, no doom scrolling and a cold room.)

Will it ALWAYS work? No. But will it make a MASSIVE difference. Yes.

You will thank yourself, I PROMISE.

🤍

(Oh, and weightlift in our Peri & Menopause Weightlifting Sessions 😉 Message me for details)

A good read and some sources:

I get told I’m confident all the time; but I feel awkward in most situations.

My high energy masks an absolute monumental wall of “why did you just say THAT?!”

I often think “should I stand here, there, is sitting okay; is this right?”

When I have conversations I have to FOCUS on not fidgeting, having good posture, relaxing my shoulders and showing the person I’m listening; because I am listening.

It’s tiring at times, but it’s part of my life and actually, I don’t want to change it.

So why am I telling you this?

Because I get messages EVERY DAY saying “I’m worried I won’t fit in”

I get people say to me all the time “But you’re so confident”, “I’m too scared of the camera”, “I can’t talk to people, like you do”, “You always know what to say”

Did you know that 13 years ago I took a courses on Assertiveness and Confidence?

14 years ago I did MONTHS of communication training?

I have taken COUNTLESS sales courses?

I’ve read SO MANY books on psychology, communication and marketing?

That this page has been running for EIGHT years. That I did lives everyday for over a year because I wanted to get rid of the “OMG I’m going to be sick” feeling?

I have had to manually learn to do the things I do well, and even now I still have to tweak as I go.

There is nothing wrong with not having an innate confidence or social ability.

But we act like it’s a barrier that matters.

BE weird.

I’m weird!

I know I’m weird; people comment all the time. (And that’s even when I’m concentrating on passing as relatively normal!)

Do not let being an odd little urchin prevent you from doing what you love, or what you need.

You NEED to weightlift, but some of you reading this haven’t taken their first step, because they’re scared of not fitting in.

If you identify with this post you’ll have found your people. Everyone’s weird over here.

The classes are full of weird, the gym is full of weird, the digital communities are weird.

Why? Because I made them and I am … weird.

It’s wonderful.

In amongst the weird we’re funny, interesting, smart, endearing and silly.

You’ll find your people here.

And on top of all of that I feel it’s my ethical duty to point out that if you are a kind and good person… judgement has absolutely no bearing on your life unless you let it.

Do the things that you need to do, the things that are for YOU.

Embrace the weird.

🚧 ACCESS TO THE GYM DURING ROAD CLOSURE! 🚧

Great news; business as usual! Not only will the pedestrian access be open but so will the car park.

Cadent has popped in and confirmed that access will be open to Bramerton Road, which is the road to our car park.

We will not be able to drive down the opening of The Spa but there will be a diversion to Great Eastern Road (one road down) which will bring you out to The Spa, just before the station. From there you'll be able to turn left and access Bramerton Road. It will add 1-2 minutes to your journey.

If in doubt pop on your sat nav to SS5 4PJ and it will take you directly to Bramerton Road after following the diversion.

Anyone at the studio venue at Eldon Way will similarly have no problems for access, just follow the diversion from The Spa road block.

Any questions please let us know! Xx

I’ll tell you the secret to weight loss past perimenopause.

Lean in.

Come closer.

I have the answer.

You’re not going to like it though.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Eat your fibre
Eat your protein
Eat your fats
Drink 2L of water
Follow GREAT sleep hygiene
Walk 8,000-10,000 steps a day
Cut out alcohol
Cut out toxic people
Strength train

It’s not like in your 20s when you just ate dust and never slept.

You can’t do shots and dance in heels for hours (neither can your knees)

It’s SO annoying and it’s SO frustrating because EVERYTHING is different now.

But it’s also LIBERATING.

Do the GOOD stuff, it’s worth it!

29/07/2025

Stop trying to be perfect, just be better.

I buy shop-bought bolognese sauce (sorry mum)

It’s got more sugar than homemade and has a couple of additives

But I know myself, I won’t do homemade, because I can’t be bothered and I’m tired.

If my only option is homemade, I will order a takeaway, just eat a bowl of cereal or dodge major nutritional needs.

So, this morning?

I threw, into my slow cooker, pre-chopped onions, a bag of tomatoes (didn’t chop them), a packet of mince (didn’t brown it first) and a jar of sauce.

It’s not perfect but it’s good enough.

Healthier than a takeaway
2 of my 5 a day
Cheap and cheerful
High protein
Shockingly tasty

But the best bit, it took me 5 minutes.

You do not need to be perfect, just do better than a takeaway.

You do not need to be perfect, just move more than no movement at all.

You do not need to be perfect, just drink some squash instead of no liquids.

Doing less sometimes means you’ll do more.

Our Story

It's lonely feeling overweight. Lacking confidence and hating your reflection is no way to live. The never ending cycles of weight loss and weight gain, using the latest diets is just exhausting. You're probably here because you're sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

I know how you feel because I've felt that feeling too but now I coach sensational women to reclaim their confidence through weight loss. These amazing women have been where you are, questioning why this time it will be different, why this time the diet will be successful and sustainable.

Read through my reviews to find out why this time will be different and get in touch so that you too can reclaim your confidence.
