Tailored Strength & Fitness Coaching
Real Results. Your Way. For Life.
Feeling flat, sore, or stuck—despite trying your best?
Maybe what used to work just doesn’t anymore, or symptoms of perimenopause and menopause have hit out of nowhere (often as early as your 30s!). You’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle.
If you're ready for a smarter, more effective approach to fitness—designed just for you and your life—you’re in the right place.
Science-Backed Fitness Coaching for Women Aged 35-70 Who Want to Feel Stronger, Healthier, and More Capable. Fully Online Programs. Thoughtful, Individualised Coaching. Created Specifically for Women in Midlife and Beyond.
You've done all the right things... So Why Does It Feel Like Nothing Works Anymore?
Does this resonate? You’re eating better. You’re moving more. But the belly fat won’t shift, your energy is inconsistent, and your body just doesn’t respond the way it used to. You’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not failing.
From your mid-30s onwards, your body starts to change in ways that most fitness programs don’t account for. Shifts in hormones, muscle mass, bone health, and recovery needs all require a smarter, more supportive approach to movement. That’s exactly what we do here.
Who It’s For:
✔️ You’re aged 35 to 70 and ready to train with purpose.
✔️ You want strength and stamina—not just “weight loss”.
✔️ You’re done with short-term diets and quick fixes.
✔️ You’re tired of programs that weren’t built with you in mind.
✔️ You want to feel good and live longer, stronger, and more actively.
Why Strong Beyond 50?
This isn’t a 6-week shred or a recycled gym template. Our coaching is grounded in science, geared towards your goals, and designed to fit your life. Here, you’ll learn how to:
✔️ Build lean muscle and protect your bones.
✔️ Increase strength, mobility, and confidence.
✔️ Train smart—even if you're short on time.
✔️ Move better and feel better in your own skin.
✔️ Exercise in a way that supports your long-term health.
✔️ Whether you’re training at home with dumbbells or stepping into the gym for the first time in decades, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Beginners Guide To Strength Training
Learn to Lift with Confidence
You’re Stronger Than You Think
The Beginners Guide to Strength Training is a 12-week program created for women who want to build strength, feel confident in the gym, and finally understand how to train with purpose. Many women shy away from lifting weights, fearing they might get bulky or thinking they’re not strong enough. The truth is, you’re probably stronger than you think — and lifting weights is one of the best ways to unlock that strength. Whether you're lifting for the first time or returning after a long break, this program meets you where you are and progresses you safely and effectively, from dumbbells to kettlebells and barbells.
From Overwhelmed to Empowered
No more guessing what to do or worrying if you're doing it right. With a fully structured strength training plan, you’ll gain the confidence to lift safely and effectively. This program is designed to help you master the basics, build real strength, and become confident walking into any gym — or setting up your own space at home. It’s not about chasing skinny. It’s about getting strong, moving better, and showing up for yourself.
Hike-Strong-Fit
Get stronger and fitter for hiking, back packing, or bushwalking. Train for your epic adventures with fully personalised programming.
-
Don't take the chance with random fitness classes or exercise with a trainer who hasn't experienced trekking.
-
Includes strength training workouts plus your level of a walking/hiking program, as well as bonus 10-20 minute workouts including HIIT, Mobility, Core & Booty.
-
For women who want to progress to hike further, longer, ascent and descent, and get stronger to carry a heavy backpack.
-
Includes instructional videos on topics such as trekking pole technique and use.
-
Gain strength, cardio fitness, agility, flexibility, core strength, balance, and importantly - whole body stability to create a resilient body to help prevent falls and injuries.
-
Reduce soreness and exhaustion with a progressive program that covers everything you need to enjoy your hikes, bushwalking, or epic adventures.
-
Protect and build valuable strength and muscle mass that is likely to be lost during long hikes and treks.
-
Improve VO2 max - maximal oxygen consumption, which is a measure of how much oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. It's a key indicator of your cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance which is an important marker for longevity, fitness, and may help with altitude treks. Note that a higher VO2 max does not necessarily mean that you will perform well at altitude or avoid altitude sickness.

Strong Bones
Most strength programs are built for young men or generic fitness apps. This one is different.
Specifically designed for women aged 35–70, this personalised pathway is based on the only scientifically proven methods for building strong bones and muscles: progressive resistance and impact-based jump training.
Whether you’re brand new to lifting or returning after years away, you’ll get the structure, coaching, and confidence to lift safely and effectively – starting with dumbbells and progressing to barbells, at a pace that suits you.
Grounded in research, including findings from the Australian LIFTMOR trial, this approach has been shown to improve bone density, muscle strength, posture, and functional movement in women just like you. No guesswork, no cookie-cutter workouts – just a clear path to strength and resilience, backed by evidence. You won’t be thrown into box jumps or high-impact exercises you’re not ready for — unlike many group fitness classes, this program follows a progressive, research-backed approach that meets you where you are and builds strength safely over time.
You’ll learn proper technique, build lifting confidence, and develop a strong foundation so you can train safely at home or in any gym. This is strength training that supports your body, your lifestyle, and your long-term health.
Important Note
This program is designed as a proactive approach to building and maintaining bone strength through evidence-based strength training. If you have already been diagnosed with osteoporosis or have been told you are at high fracture risk, this program is not suitable for you. Instead, please seek support from a qualified Exercise Physiologist or an accredited Onero™ provider who can offer a clinically supervised program tailored to your needs.

For women in their 30s - 60s who want better health outcomes for perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, who don't want to accept frailty, weakness, and ill-health as part of aging, and are:
-
Thinking about getting strong and fit for your 50s and beyond - for a healthy lifespan.
-
Wanting to get fit, don't know where to start, or what you've been doing no longer works.
-
It's confusing out there and there's so much misinformation - we provide the latest science-backed approach.
-
Sick of what you're doing now - it's not getting you the results you want.
-
Finding what you're doing now is exhausting and you want your energy back.
-
Running, walking, Pilates and/or yoga are just not enough to improve metabolic health, or fight loss of muscle and bone mass once we transition into perimenopause and beyond. Strength training is the key to healthy muscles and bones.
-
Wanting to create resilient bodies and minds to beat chronic pain, help avoid injuries, and who want to feel strong in their daily lives. Lean muscle is the key to longevity and a healthy metabolism.
-
Wanting to get lean with 'toned' muscles? This is achieved with progressive strength training.
Many trainers have no understanding of what women need through perimenopause / menopause and beyond, whether due to being young themselves, or not having experienced this stage of life - you can't learn it from a book! I see it all the time! Trainers push their clients, especially beginners, beyond exhaustion and fatigue leading to injury or giving up on exercise. As we age, our training needs change from our 20s, 30s, or even 40s. Yes, you need to work HARD and at high intensity - progressively. That is not the same as exercising beyond exhaustion with inappropriate training or exercises. I understand the exact science-backed, gamechanging formulas that are helping my midlife clients get results.
No need to be afraid of getting hurt—lifting weights is safe & effective when done properly under expert tuition of an experienced coach! You're already stronger than you realise—let's unlock your full potential!
Many women worry about getting "bulky" when they start strength training, but the reality is that building significant muscle mass takes a lot of time, dedication, and a specific approach. The idea of "toned, long muscles" often stems from myths popularised by the Pilates and yoga industries—suggesting that you can achieve lean, elongated muscles without the need for strength training. In reality, strength training builds lean muscle (defined muscles for the 'toned' look), builds strong bones, boosts metabolism, changes body composition so you lose body fat, improves posture, and supports overall strength. Whether you're looking to feel strong and confident with more muscle or prefer a leaner, more sculpted look, strength training can help you achieve your goals without the fear of getting overly bulky.
For those who want to get "jacked," lifting heavier weights and eating in a surplus will get you there, but it's a gradual and intentional process with complete dedication to lifestyle.

Please refer to the full T&Cs PDF in the footer. While we offer modifications and alternative exercises, we don’t simply ‘work around’ injuries or medical conditions (or expect you to self-modify) like a typical personal trainer—we provide a higher level of service to empower your recovery and progress. If you require prescribed exercise for a medical condition or injury, you will need to consult an Exercise Physiologist (EP). Begin by seeing your doctor, as you may be eligible for a GP Management Plan and referral. Once you’re ready for online programming, we will collaborate with your EP to ensure we’re all aligned on the best exercises for you.
Exercise is just a small part of weight loss. If you are looking for body composition change, fat loss, or to get lean and build muscle (i.e. like a fitness model), this program includes tailored fitness programming and personalised macronutrient and calorie recommendations based on your fitness goals and activity levels, if applicable. While the focus is on exercise, we provide the nutritional support needed to fuel your body for optimal performance and recovery. Please note, this program does not include in-depth nutrition coaching.
