One of the most important things you can do during menopause? Strength training. 💪

As hormone levels change, we naturally start to lose muscle mass and bone density. The good news?

Strength training can help maintain both, while also supporting metabolism, balance, confidence, and everyday movement.

You don’t need to train for hours or lift the heaviest weights in the gym. Start where you are, be consistent, and focus on getting stronger.

The goal isn’t to be smaller. The goal is to be stronger. ✨

Are you currently strength training? Let me know below 👇

How do you train your forearms?

The forearms are important from a functional standpoint as they help keep the wrist and elbows healthy, as well as strengthening grip.

The forearms consist of extensors, flexors and the brachioradialis. They can be trained through forearm isolation exercises and also through other upper body exercises which require them to play a supporting role.

The first two exercises on this reel show exercises involving wrist flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) respectively.

The other exercises shown are not forearm exercises but by adding them into our training plans we still put the forearms to work, as well as benefitting other muscle groups.

Whether you want bulging forearms, or whether you just want to be able to carry your shopping without it falling and breaking, these exercises will get the job done for you. As with all muscle groups you should increase the weight as you get stronger, to keep the muscles adapting.

Some of you may know our member Vicky, who has been with us for several years and is a regular in many of our classes.

In July Vicky will be taking on the South West Coast Ultra Mararhon Challenge, this is a 50km (31m) coastal hill walk. Vicky’s doing this in order to raise money for Breast Cancer Now. She was inspired to support this charity after her mum Jackie was diagnosed with breast cancer in January.

Vicky has, as always, been training hard in the gym to prepare for this challenge, doing a combination of cardiovascular training and full body strength training. Jackie is a very keen exerciser and despite recently receiving radiotherapy, hopes to join her daughter on this challenge as she rebuilds her strength and fitness.

Vicky is required to raise £300 to participate in this walk, however her target is £500 and we would like to invite our members to support her in this.

If you would like to support her walk please visit the page below or send us a message

If you sit at a desk all day try doing this through out the day⬇️

Long periods of sitting can lead to tight muscles, poor posture, stiff joints, reduced circulation, and aches and pains in your neck, shoulders, back, and hips.

The good news? Just a few minutes of movement throughout the day can make a huge difference.

Try this simple desk-worker mobility routine:

✅ Band Pull Aparts – strengthen your upper back and improve posture.

✅ Shoulder Dislocates – increase shoulder mobility and reduce stiffness.

✅ Chest Openers – counteract the rounded shoulders that often come from sitting.

✅ Overhead Extensions – improve upper body mobility and help you reach overhead more comfortably.

✅ Heel-to-Toe Raises – boost circulation and wake up tired lower legs.

✅ Leg Extensions – activate your quads and keep your knees moving.

✅ Leg Pulses – get the blood flowing and engage your leg muscles.

A few minutes of movement every hour can help improve posture, reduce stiffness, increase energy levels, and keep your body feeling its best.

Save this routine and give it a try during your next work break!

🏆Member of the Month: Rich Pitts🏆

Rich trains regularly with our PTs Ben and Fiona and is also a familiar face in our Pilates classes.
After achieving an incredible weight-loss transformation through his hard work and our support in 2024, Rich has shifted his focus towards building strength and improving overall movement quality.

His dedication is paying off. During a session with Ben this morning, Rich achieved a personal best of 45kg on the close-grip pulldown. As shown in the video, Ben has also been working with him on scapular control, helping to improve pulling strength while supporting healthy shoulders and better posture.

Alongside his strength training, Rich has worked consistently with Fiona on mobility and flexibility. Since starting his sessions, his range of motion, flexibility and overall mobility have improved significantly, helping him move more comfortably and confidently both inside and outside the gym.

Rich is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through consistency, hard work and a willingness to keep progressing. Congratulations, Rich! 👏💪

One of the most common things we hear is that people will join the gym when they’ve worked on their fitness and feel ready. If you’re in this position you’re definitely not alone!

While it’s a completely understandable position to be in, it is also a waste of time. Here’s why:

1 - The gym is a place to work on your fitness, whether you’re experienced or whether you have never exercised before. Feeling like you need to be fit to join a gym is like feeling like you need to be healthy to go to hospital.

2- Fitness goals take time to achieve, and the sooner you start working on fitness the sooner you will start to feel the benefits!

3- You might never feel ready. Joining a gym can feel daunting, and the longer you put it off the more daunting it will feel. It’s a perfectly understandable thing to feel, however our gym is a friendly and welcoming environment. Drop in and see for yourself if you don’t believe us!

If you’re waiting until you’re ready, this is your sign to start today, and a few weeks from now you will be very glad you did!

Posture isn’t just about standing taller it’s about improving mobility, strength, and how the body moves as a whole.

Fi’s client Ian uses a posture wedge recommended by his physio to help encourage extension through the upper back and open up the chest and shoulders.

➡️ Overhead stretch – helps improve mobility through the chest, shoulders, and thoracic spine, encouraging a more upright posture.

➡️ Dumbbell pullover – a great exercise for opening the chest and shoulders while strengthening the lats, chest, and core. It encourages movement through a range that many people lose due to prolonged sitting and poor posture.

➡️ Chest fly – strengthens the chest through a controlled range of motion while promoting awareness of shoulder position and helping improve upper-body control.

The wedge helps place the body in a supported position, allowing us to combine mobility and strength work safely and effectively.

Every programme is tailored to the individual. Sometimes the goal isn’t to lift heavier, it’s to move better, feel better, and build strength that supports everyday life.
