Menopause is not your body handing in its resignation. It is more like your hormones changing the terms and conditions without giving you a chance to read them first.

During perimenopause and menopause, fluctuating and falling oestrogen levels can affect muscle, bone health, sleep and mood.

This is exactly why training matters.

Strength training gives your muscles a reason to stick around, while resistance and weight bearing exercise help maintain bone strength. Regular movement can also support your mood, confidence and sleep, which is handy when your hormones have decided that 3am is the perfect time for an existential crisis.

You do not need to absolutely destroy yourself every session.

Some days you might lift heavier. Some days you might reduce the weight, take longer rests or simply focus on moving. Both count.

Train for strong muscles. Train for strong bones. Train for independence, confidence and the ability to live life on your own terms for decades to come.

Menopause is not the end of your prime.

Your strong girl era does not have an expiry date.

Strong is better than skinny.

There. I said it.

Women have spent decades being told to eat less, weigh less, shrink ourselves and celebrate fitting into the smallest possible pair of jeans.

Meanwhile our muscles and bones are sitting there like…

Hello? We’re actually quite fu***ng important.

Strength training helps maintain muscle, supports strong bones, improves physical function and helps us stay capable and independent as we age.

Because personally, my retirement plan involves being an absolute fu***ng menace.

I want to be 80 years old carrying my own shopping, getting off the floor without making the noise of a dying farm animal and still having enough upper body strength to open a jar without finding a nearby man.

Muscle isn’t something women should be frightened of building.

It’s something we should be fighting to keep.

Your body was never designed purely to look good in a bikini.

It was designed to move.

To lift.

To carry.

To survive.

And occasionally to drag a fully loaded wheelie bin up the drive while questioning every decision that led you to this moment.

So stop measuring your progress solely by how much less of you there is.

Ask yourself what MORE your body can do.

More weight on the bar.

More confidence.

More energy.

More independence.

More years being physically capable of doing whatever the hell you want.

We’re not training to disappear.

We’re training to become increasingly difficult to kill.

Strong girl era until they put us in the ground.

And even then, make sure the coffin’s heavy.

We’ve got a reputation to maintain.

Training for longevity is not about desperately trying to avoid getting older. Ageing is a privilege.

It is about building a body that continues to support the life you want to live.

We strength train to protect our muscles and bones. We challenge our heart and lungs so everyday life feels easier. We practise balance and mobility so we can continue moving confidently.

Your future self does not need perfection from you. She just needs you to keep showing up.

Train for strength. Train for independence. Train for all the adventures you have not had yet.

This is about so much more than how your body looks.

It is about what your body allows you to do.

The new CRUX timetable is here and we’re ready for September 🖤

More classes, more flexibility and more ways to train around real life.

Whether you’re an early bird, a daytime girl, an after work warrior or you’re looking for something to get the kids moving, there’s a place for you at CRUX.

Our monthly memberships give you the best value if you’re training regularly, but you absolutely don’t need a membership to join us.

PLEASE PRE BOOK YOUR CLASSES

Pre booking is imperative so I know exactly how many people are attending each session. If a class has 1 person or fewer booked in, the class will not go ahead, so please don’t turn up without booking and risk missing your workout.

No contracts. No fads. No intimidating gym environment.

Just small group training, proper coaching, an incredible community and programmes designed to help women get stronger, fitter and more confident.

New timetable starts 1st September.

Safe to say this week has been a good one.

We’ve had members climbing further up the rope than they ever thought they could, hitting a 30kg push press and collecting personal best after personal best. Watching those moments never gets old.

The best part is that none of it happens by accident. It comes from showing up on the days you can’t be bothered, backing yourself when something feels scary and having a room full of people who genuinely want to see you succeed.

There is nothing better than hearing the whole gym celebrate someone’s win. Whether it’s your first press up, your heaviest lift or getting a little bit further up that rope, every victory matters and every single person in the room is cheering you on.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, this is your sign. Come and see what happens when hard work meets an incredible community.
