Why Strength Training Is Essential for Women 40+

Once we move into our 40s and beyond, our bodies start to change.

Muscle mass naturally declines.
Bone density drops.
Recovery feels different.
Fat loss becomes harder.

More cardio isn’t the answer.

Strength training helps to:

✔ Preserve muscle
✔ Protect bone density
✔ Support metabolism
✔ Reduce joint pain
✔ Improve balance & confidence
✔ Maintain independence long-term

This isn’t about aesthetics.
It’s about staying strong, capable, and independent for decades to come.

If you’re 40+ and only doing cardio, it might be time to rethink your plan.

Your body doesn’t need punishment.
It needs progressive, intelligent strength training.

Just thought I’d jump in and say hello 🙌 I should really be more active on here but life seems to be rather hectic at the moment 🤣

I really hope everyone is doing okay and remember if you ever need me for some workout inspo, nutrition advice or anything else just message me and I will get back to you.

One more month and I’ll be back in a very limited regime.

I think at the moment my availability is Wednesday 9AM in Kirkby Lonsdale and possibly Friday 6PM in Holme ☺️ or I can be flexible at other times but there would be a tiny little person present too 💗

I’ll make another post about this but if you’d like to book a regular slot starting in September please do message me 🙌

Edit: 9 AM taken but 11 AM in Kirkby available 🤗

Gentle exercise class for anyone who’s expecting a baby 🤰

We usually start with some gentle exercises, move onto stretches/yoga followed by a short relaxation and we finish everything with a much needed chit chat 🥰

I know coming into classes might feel a bit intimidating but I can promise we’re a really friendly bunch with the same goal - being strong and flexible for a healthy labour!

Come and join our friendly group! 🙌

Happy monday everyone. 🙌

Just wanted to let you know I’ve still got some availability for my PT slots.

Pregnancy hasn’t slowed me down — it’s reminded me just how powerful movement can be at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking to build strength, improve mobility, stay active during your own pregnancy, or simply feel better in your body, I’m still coaching and loving every minute of it.

These next couple of months are the perfect time to work together. I’m offering 1:1 personal training sessions tailored to your goals — and yes, I can adapt for all levels, injuries, or life stages.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, getting back into it, or just need that extra push — now’s your moment.
Let’s move, feel strong, and have some fun along the way.

DM me to book your session – I can’t wait to work with you!

Hi everyone! Time to get the bump out! 🤣

Being pregnant myself and spending hours researching the right exercises to support my body through the pregnancy I thought it might be great to help someone else too?
I would love to create a little gentle exercise/socialise group for everyone expecting and maybe even after birth (certificate’s pending).
Would there be an interest?
Please message me and we can see if we can get enough people to make it happen! 🥰
