Sussex Fitness & Wellness

Sussex Fitness & Wellness Fitness training - Women’s health - Menopause - Golf fitness - Pelvic Floor and Core Rehab This is why I set up my Holding Back the Years membership group.

My main passion is working with women over 35 to help them build complete better versions of themselves - mind, body and spirit. It can be a difficult time of life, but if you treat your body with kindness it doesn’t have to be. It’s an affordable way for women to get everything they need to live well, to be strong, capable and independent women. As part of this I run classes each week to help motivate everyone to move and get sweaty. But there are loads of pre-recorded videos too for relaxation, meditation, mobilisation and some yoga too. You can find out more details at www.holdingbacktheyears.online. You can also attend any of my classes on a pay as you go basis. Another line of my business that I love is being a Holistic Core Restore� coach. That means I’m qualified in pelvic floor and core rehab work. We have an emphasis on getting women moving again. I run regular courses to help women strengthen the pelvic floor and core working from the inside out. I work with women who leak, who have urgency issues, who have a prolapsed organ, lower back issues, Diastasis recti (tummy gap appeared during pregnancy) or who want to prepare their bodies to prevent issues. Find out more at https://www.sussexfitness.co.uk/every-woman-6-week-course/

I also get a lot of runners who leak and have pain from the waist down when they run, but I run a specific Holistic Core Restore�course for them called Fit to Run where we work on rehab strategies. https://www.sussexfitness.co.uk/holistic-core-restore/hcr-fit-to-run-walk/

If you’d just like to get fitter and stronger, or focus on weight loss then I’d recommend some personal training sessions with me. I mostly work out of my home gym, but I’m flexible on that if you prefer working out elsewhere. If you’d like more information about any of these services please email me on erica@sussexfitness.co.uk

Have you ever felt like the fitness world isn’t really speaking to you anymore?

Not young enough for the “beach body” messaging.
Not old enough to be written off.
Still ambitious. Still capable. Still wanting more.

That’s exactly why I created Holding Back The Years.

It’s for women who want to feel strong, capable, energised and confident in midlife — not punished, not exhausted.

If you’ve ever thought “there has to be something better than this”… my latest blog is for you.

With obesity rates continuing to rise, more people are beginning to look beyond calories alone and ask a more important question: how is our food made? We now understand that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) play a significant role in weight gain, metabolic health issues and poor blood sugar control. However, what often gets overlooked is that processing exists on a spectrum — and even foods we consider “healthy” can affect the body very differently depending on how much they’ve been processed.

My online classes aren’t a compromise — for many women, they’re the reason exercise finally becomes sustainable.

They’re ideal if you want expert guidance and structure, but without the pressure of a gym, the time lost to travel, or the feeling that you’re being watched or judged. You can join from home, move at your own pace, and still feel part of something — which makes consistency far more achievable.

They particularly support women who are busy, tired, rebuilding confidence, managing aches or hormonal changes, or simply fed up with all-or-nothing fitness. If you want to move regularly, feel stronger, age well and be supported by someone who understands midlife bodies — my online group classes can be exactly the right place to start.

If you are still not sure they are for you? DM me or email (mailto:erica@sussexfitness.co.uk) and let's have a chat.

First trial session is FREE so what is stopping you from giving it a go?

Happy New Year to you All

I genuinely wish each and every one of you reading this a healthy, happy and fun filled 2026. I hope my dodgy editing at least put a smile on your face 😂

That’s an epic 2025 all wrapped up! I say epic as it’s the year my husband and I both turned half a century, which I am very grateful to have achieved. I certainly don’t take it for granted.

I have a done a lot of celebrating this year and yes it’s all been catching up with me a bit. 🙄 But I figure that is what 2026 is for, now that I’ve finally finished celebrating. So here is to putting in the effort and returning my health and fitness levels back to ‘extra youthful’ 😂 (watch this space!) Or better still, contact me if you want to join me in this mission!

For now, here are some pictures to try and represent my year. I’ve tried to pull one picture from each month to show what I got up to. Sometimes it was too hard to choose so had to do two! The pictures include all my celebrations and non-celebrations on the quieter months: starting with my ‘Holding Back The Years’ members hike in January and finishing at this Christmas with all my family. In between I went to
Lanzarote, finished my film editing course, celebrated my parents 60th wedding anniversary, massive group trip to Santorini, Rewind at Dreamland, Majorca, Valencia, Ibiza, Wilderness festival, took part in ‘The Hunt’, family trip to California, had my party to celebrate, Sardinia and finally met old school friends in London.

Thanks to everyone who has spent time celebrating with me this year. ❤️ See you all for more hard work and shenanigans in 2026 🥳

January isn’t about dabbling.

It’s about deciding.
A short, focused period of discipline can:

• Break bad habits
• Re-establish structure
• Create momentum

That’s why the 21 Day Reset works.
It’s not easy — but it is effective.

For some people, 21 days is the start.

For others, it’s the gateway to something longer-term.
My group Reset starts 9th January. Sign-Up Now!

Options available for 21 days or 3 months to embed healthy behaviours further and for more moral support.

More punishment doesn’t equal better results.
Especially if recovery, hormones and joints aren’t supported.

What does work:
• Strength training with intent
• Enough recovery to adapt
• Eating to support muscle, not just fat loss
• Playing the long game

This is exactly what my 'Holding Back the Years' programme is built around.
Not quick fixes — but staying strong, capable and confident for years to come. Consistency!

This programme is open to join now!

Our Story

I specialise in working with women (and some men) to get them looking good, but more importantly feeling good. We work on Muscle Toning & Strengthening, Fat Loss, Wellness and creating Fully Functioning Bodies devoid of aches, pains and niggles. I also specialise in Pelvic Health so all exercise that I do is respectful to the pelvis and pelvic floor/core area.

My pelvic floor and core rehab/strengthening work takes women on a journey to build them up slowly. I support them all the way through over weeks/months to keep them focused and motivated. I’m a massive believer that aging does not have to mean you get weaker.

I run a bootcamp for women on Tuesday and Thursdays mornings 9:20am, in a fully equipped gym close to Worthing mainline station. The sessions are small groups of women who are prepared to work hard to keep themselves strong and healthy, but still want to have fun. If you are interested in this check out my testimonials: http://www.sussexfitness.co.uk/testimonial--bootcampers.html I am also qualified in Pregnancy and Post Natal Fitness instructor and a Holistic Core Restore coach. As such if you fall into these categories you could either come to my bootcamp or I can work with you on a one-to-one basis. If you suffer from stress incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti or just a weak core I can help either on a one-to-one basis or you can join my group Holistic Core Restore sessions held in Worthing. Group 6 Week courses are run several times a year (see my website for dates). I usually work from my home, but we can go to the gym, beach or your home, depending on your preferences. I will provide all equipment. And if childcare is an issue I am happy to work with you while your child(ren) is present.
