Brenergy (2025)

04/11/2024

Brenergy’s purpose is to build a community of strong women , help them believe in themselves and absolutely kick ass in life !

Joanne Goldsmith what can I say , you are one amazing strong and beautiful woman I’m so proud of you .

Please Read Jo’s Story she’s an inspiration 💕

I met Brenda in the summer of 2022, it may sound a cliche but it was as though it was meant to be! I was recovering from major surgery on my left ankle, we were at a first aid course together and Brenda saw me struggle to get up and down off the floor without using a chair and full of fear! She initially referred me to Re.Balanced to help me get back on my feet and rehab, then Lucy referred me back to Brenda to help rebuild.

What followed was not just fitness but a journey of rehabilitation, muscle strengthing, food education and subsequent weight loss it was the beginning of a new way of living a healthier more balanced lifestyle and looking after my health and well-being.

My personal journey so far has been one of both physical and mental strength, including building self confidence in my body again, becoming less fearful of my bodies ability to support me and reconnecting to myself.

I no longer carry around the equivalent of 17bags of sugar on a daily basis, getting up and down from the floor with no wall or sofa as a prop is an easy task and trusting my own strength feels amazing 💪

Walking up the Leicester Tigers stadium with no one holding my hand, re-educating my muscles to not favour the stronger side of my body, which has improved my balance and posture.

Fitting my ‘bootie’ in a Ryanair seat 💺 and not having a fear of restaurant chairs! I always worried if I would get stuck and now I revel in the challenge and look forward to going out 💪

The list is endless… but without the knowledge of the ‘lovely’ Brenda, I would not be the stronger person that I am today! Thank you 💜

I’d also like to say just how proud I feel to have come so far and this is just the beginning!

Ladies let’s talk about what we don’t like to talk about

Menopause / peri menopause and beyond and why it doesn’t have to be a struggle!

Davina McCall has been instrumental in helping us women have a voice and education on Menopause over the last few years and what we found uncomfortable to talk about has now a huge positive topic ❤️🔥

One major factor in all this is that many women give in to the fact that we can no longer be in shape, feel beautiful, be strong and dare I say enjoy the journey.

I would like to celebrate some of our Brenergy ladies that have decide that life if for living and menopause along with pre & post is just part of this incredible Journey and focusing on our health can really make a difference.

Katie

When perimenopause hit, Katie kept doing her workouts and working even harder and eating so clean you would expect the results to be quick and easy as they used to be.

Nothing was shifting and she was so frustrated so we decided to investigate further into hormones and how to manage them rather than fight with them.

As you can she she has kicked their ass and now very much in control of her hormones living her best life, looking and feeling amazing with her sparkle shining bright ❤️

Ann who is another incredible woman has literally changed her life ! She has been a really busy mum and grandma and still is but what I love about Ann is that she now really focuses on her own health which means she’s healthier and fitter for her family.

Ann is active all the time from working out in our Brenergy hub to walking miles and miles to adventures with her grandchildren. She is the grandparent we all want to be keeping up with the little ones and inspiring them to be active too ❤️

What can I say about Jackie B, this beautiful soul just inspires me so much with her determination and zest for being the best she can be. Jackie gives it her all in her pt sessions and online workouts, she has created healthy habits that have led to amazing results and not only that she’s just about to turn 60 in December and looks the best she has ever looked. Huge respect to you Jackie Baxter ❤️

These are just some of our ladies in the Brenergy hub. There are a whole lot more of us in this community who are currently experiencing peri menopause me being one! Some who are mid menopause and some post menopausal.

We also have mums to be , mums moving towards peri menopause age and so on. It’s a wonderful community to be a part of as we are all ultimately going to experience this and having the knowledge, education, life experience etc in this group it’s a fantastic place to support each other.

I love helping women feel strong, healthy and ultimately happy with their bodies so please don’t suffer in silence there is so much support that can help you through your journey and we are here 💯 to help you.

Brenergy is back online and already the positive messages have reinforced why I’m doing what I love doing best!

There are some funnier messages that are a bit too sweary to put on here but they are my most favourite ones 🤣

I forgot just how offensive the word PULSE is to my Brenergy girls 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So being back online reconnecting to everyone and having fun, laughing and generally the uplifting energy has made me realise just how much I missed you all, it also made me realise how easy it is to get back on it.

So for you who may follow my posts but on the fence of what we do in here, how it all works etc here it is in a nutshell!

Step 1
You message me and ask for info, how to join etc

Step 2
I tell you it will be lovely, send you the info and link to join our Private Brenergy Facebook group

Step 3
You join all the tortured souls who live in the brenergy hub

Step 4
You have 2 options , you can hit the link for the live class or you can access the replay both very easy to find in our group

Step5
You workout with me , have a lovely time, your body oblivious to what it’s doing as you are so entertained and distracted by me lying to you about how many reps are left and shocking with you how long an Irish minute is 🤣

Step 6
You say a few swear words , shout at the screen, I mute you if your live so I won’t hear it , I can just see it in your face only if you choose to have your camera on ( always optional) then you say that was fab thanks Brenda see you tomorrow for some more fun!

I say bye, tell you all how proud I am of you, how much I appreciate you all, then say I’m sorry which is the part I absolutely don’t mean and then end the class.

It’s so easy honestly just give it a try, you work to your own level , you can pause me, mute me even dislike me but I promise I will help you feel better in the long term, you will feel so good about what you are achieving and you will become brenergied.

If you don’t have weights improvise until you do, if you want to rest do until you don’t need to and if you are a fellow technophob but wants to learn then it’s easy so no stress I too learned 🤣

I’m just a mum who happens to be a fully qualified PT specialising in women’s health who herself as a peri menopausal woman is trying her best to be her best self and doesn’t like working out alone. I know the importance of community and how helping each other is so important so as I say if you are unsure or just need some help you are very welcome to join us.

Ps Lucy Mclennan isn’t dead in this photo she’s just very angry with me because I said pulse again!🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰

Much love
Brenda 🥰

It can sometimes be tricky juggling life with kids and a lot of the time as mum’s we put ourselves to the end of the line of jobs we need to do, so working out sometimes doesn’t even make the list !

I have been working out with and around Maxi & Millie since they were born and I’m so glad I prioritised that time as not only did I benefit they did too. I’m happier, I have more energy and they not look at being Healthy as an important part of life but in a fun way and not a chore.

It’s by choice now that I workout now with M&M but there was that time I wished I could go to the gym myself but it wasn’t an option when they were small so I designed my workouts around and with them , and as they grew they just got used to me teaching and working out and I got used to them seeing me as a human climbing frame!

I love teaching and even more so teaching other mums find a way to get their workouts in while the children are around. So I have decided to go back online to provide classes to help more busy mums achieve their Health & Fitness goals without having to go out of the house or find childcare.

Message me for more details on how you can join our February classes, spaces are limited.

There will be 3 live classes per week and replays available in our private Facebook group for you to access anytime that suits.

These classes are available for all fitness levels , for new mums to mums of older children to granny’s who want to keep up with their grandchildren !

I will be delighted to help you create Healthier Habits so you can feel happier and glow from the inside out.

It would be very appr if you could share this post as much as you can so I can reach more mummies amd as we are online we can help however far away you are x

Much Love
Brenda

Just want to celebrate Lucy Mclennan the women with the iron legs!

One of our Brenergy success stories and she’s still going strong 💪

I can’t and won’t take any credit for what she’s doing now as it’s way past my abilities and I can’t keep up with her so im now her cheer leader 😂

Lucy has come so far on her health and fitness journey and to have been just a small part of it to now seeing how far she has come is what makes my job/passion so worth while.

As you can see she changed her body from a place of discomfort in her joints, less mobility , reduced energy levels and low self confidence to an unstoppable force!

She amazes me with her strength, endurance and not to mention speed!

I have had the absolute pleasure to train with Lucy over the last 5 years in classes and PT

I love her attitude and discipline to be her best self and in the last few months although I thought I couldn’t admire her more she really did do it again.

A few month ago she needed an outlet whilst going through one of the toughest times of her life and instead for giving up on herself she used what she had to step up another level both physically and mentally.

She put the miles in and still doing so, she dug deep and went on to do the Great Eastern 1/2 Marathon in 1 hour 47 mins and now in April 2024 with do her first Marathon!

I’m so proud of you Lucy , you found who you are, your inner strength and most of all your self belief.

As I say the women with the iron legs, I’m not sure she’s human to be honest I’d say more of a machine 😂🥰

You keep doing what you love and believing you can you beautiful humble butterfly 💕

Another beautiful sunny morning at our family fitness Bootcamp ☀️

It got pretty warm pretty quick and I’m sure it may have been something to do with the band work, muscles on fire 🥵

It may have also had something to do with the t shirt worn by one of our dads , I may have given him some extra weight and reps
😂😂😂💪 which he did with ease 💪💪💪

I also loved watching as parents became play equipment for their children it’s always fun to watch the little ones smile with delight when we lie down 😂

It all got a bit too much for some of our little people and a little nap was needed 😂💕💕💕

Great job everyone so great to start our Sunday morning working out together

See you next week 💕

18/06/2023

We had a fab morning , we were lucky no rain just pain 😂

We were mostly used as human climbing frames and play things for our kids no one was safe 😂

Sunday mornings are just magical with you all, it sets up a very positive mind , mood and day 💕

Thank you all for coming and joining me and my family on our mission to help families become healthier and happier.

Our childrens habits can be a reflection of ours so let’s help them see that exercise is just part of their lifestyle and not a chore

Their future relationship with being active will be so much more positive

Huge respect to you all creating healthy habits for your families 💕
