Menopause Coaching

Going through the menopause can be different for everyone and with our specialised coaching you will never feel alone we are in this together.

Basic

For decades, strength training, conditioning routines, and even nutrition research have been based mainly on male physiology. But women are not men with boobs and tubes women have completely different hormonal systems.

So many women go through midlife feeling “off” without realising their symptoms are actually linked to perimenopause. it can affect EVERYTHING… training, energy, recovery, motivation, you name it! As a Menopause Movement coach, I’m here to make this journey a whole lot easier.​

As oestrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, heart-disease risk rises sharply yet many symptoms can be subtle, missed, or mistaken for everyday fatigue.

Menopause Definition & Stages Definition:

  • Menopause is officially defined as 12 consecutive months since your last menstrual period.

  • Average age: 51 (but can be earlier or later).

  • Terminology:

  • Perimenopause = “Around the time” when hormones start to fluctuate.

  • Menopause = One single day — 12 months after the last period.

  • Post-menopause = Every year after menopause.

  • Pre-menopause = Before symptoms begin.

  • Premature menopause = Under 40

  • Early menopause = Under 45

Small Group Training

raining is better with company, and better still when the coach knows your name, your history and your goals. Our small group sessions are capped at a handful of people, so you get the energy and encouragement of a group with the attention of personal training.

Every session is built for the over-50s. Exercises are scaled to each person, so whether you're picking up a barbell for the first time or returning after a break, you'll work at a level that challenges you without overdoing it. We focus on strength, balance, mobility and confidence, the things that keep you active and independent for years to come.

You'll be training alongside people at the same stage of life, with a coach who understands what that involves, including how menopause can affect energy, sleep, joints and mood. Our sessions run to a soundtrack from your younger years, which makes the hour pass quickly and puts a smile on faces.

What you get

  • Small groups with plenty of one-to-one coaching
  • Tailored workouts and guidance
  • A friendly, supportive community
  • Era-matched playlists to keep you moving
  • Access to our Activity on Referral scheme, if you've been referred

Circuit Class

Circuit training is one of the best ways to get stronger, steadier and fitter in a single session, and at JP4 Fitness we've built ours around the over-50s.

The class is simple to follow. The room is set up with a series of stations, each with a different exercise, and you move round at a steady pace. One station might be a sit-to-stand, the next a light dumbbell press, then a step-up, a balance exercise or a gentle core move. Nothing is rushed and nothing is intimidating. Every exercise can be scaled up or down, so you work at a level that suits you, whether you're returning to exercise after years away or already training regularly.

Because you're always moving on to something new, the hour passes quickly. Your coach is on hand throughout to check your technique and adjust things for you, whether that's a lighter weight, a lower step or a different move altogether. It's all set to the soundtrack of your years, so the music keeps you going while you work.

What you'll gain

  • Strength to keep everyday life easy, from carrying shopping to getting up off the floor
  • Better balance, mobility and posture
  • Stronger muscles and bones, which matters especially through and after menopause
  • More energy and a real boost in confidence
  • A friendly group to train with, and plenty of encouragement
