Thrive Over 40 with
Tailored Strength & Fitness Coaching
Online Strength & Fitness Coaching for women.
Tailored for strength, energy, and confidence through perimenopause and midlife. This isn’t about shrinking yourself — it’s about becoming stronger, fitter, and more capable so you can enjoy life now and long into the future.
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 This Is For:
​
Thrive programs are designed for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to feel strong, capable, and in control of their health again.
​
This is for you if:
​
-
You’re aged 35 to 70 and ready to train with intention—not just exercise randomly.
-
You’re focused on strength, stamina, and long-term well-being—not just chasing a number on the scale.
-
You’ve had enough of quick fixes, fads, and “one-size-fits-all” plans that never worked for you.
-
You’re ready to train in a way that actually supports your changing body.
-
You want to feel good, move with ease, and age powerfully.
​
Emerging research suggests that a subset of women become more resistant to fat loss during the menopause transition and beyond—making traditional “eat less, move more” strategies even more frustrating and unsustainable. You can’t keep cutting calories and pushing harder when your body isn’t responding. It’s time for a smarter, more supportive approach.
​
​Why Strong Beyond 50?
​
This isn’t a cookie-cutter gym program or a 6-week shred. Our coaching is evidence-based, future-focused, and built around real life—yours. Whether you’re working out with dumbbells at home or stepping into the gym after years away, we’ll support you every step of the way.
​
You’ll learn how to:
​
-
Build lean muscle and protect your bones through proven strength training methods.
-
Increase strength, mobility, and confidence—whether you're starting out or starting over.
-
Train smart and efficiently—even with limited time or equipment.
-
Move better, feel better, and thrive in the body you’re in.
-
Exercise in a way that supports your life today and your health tomorrow.
-
Recognise when exercising more and eating less isn’t working—and what to do instead.

Semi-Private Personal Training
In our Private Drouin Studio
Coming Soon Join Wait List Now
​​My Semi-Private Personal Training sessions are coming back soon, and they’re just as powerful as you remember—if not better. You’ll get a personalised program designed specifically for you, delivered within a supportive group of like-minded women. Train at your own level, with expert guidance, and progress at a pace that’s right for you.
These sessions aren’t about punishing workouts or random circuits—they’re about real, measurable progress built on structure, strength, and sustainability.
You’re not just showing up to be yelled at through a random circuit, or made to do exercises that have been scribbled on a whiteboard 5 minutes before. You’re following a structured, progressive plan written specifically for you, in an environment where you’re seen, supported, and guided with intention. This level of training changes everything.
Each 12-week block is capped at just 3–6 women to keep things personal, and spots will fill fast. Add your name to the waitlist to be the first to hear when bookings open and choose your preferred day and time. No obligation—just first dibs.
Available exclusively as an add-on to clients enrolled in Tailored Strength & Fitness Coaching programs or Strong Foundations Program. This is where your holistic, personalised program lives. All our online programs include extra (fully tailored) workouts to do at home or in the gym based on the exact equipment you have available, education, and habit-based nutrition support to help you fuel your training, support your metabolism, and break free from extreme dieting.
Sure, you can always find cheap workouts, bootcamps, or drop-in classes—but this isn’t that. This is a targeted, evidence-based approach built around you, with proper structure, expert guidance, and support that actually gets results. I can even work in collaboration with your Exercise Physiologist.
Let me be absolutely clear - this level of individual support in a small group setting is almost unheard of!

IS STRENGTH TRAINING DANGEROUS?
​
It's a fair question—especially if you've never lifted weights before or have heard stories about injuries. But the truth is, strength training done right is one of the most powerful ways to support your body and reduce the risk of injury. Progressive training—where we build up gradually over time—helps your joints, muscles, and bones become more resilient, not just in the gym but in everyday life. It helps prevent falls and injuries by improving balance, coordination, and muscle strength. No need to be afraid of getting hurt—lifting weights is safe and effective when done properly under the 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 (the defined look many refer to as “toned”), supports strong bones, boosts metabolism, reshapes body composition, improves posture, and enhances overall strength.
It is also the only proven method to build lean muscle and support bone density through midlife and beyond—helping to fight against frailty caused by age-related loss of muscle and bone.
​
Whether you’re aiming to feel more confident, lift with ease, or create a leaner, more toned look, strength training can help you get there—without the fear of becoming overly bulky.
​
And for those who do want to get seriously strong and muscular? That’s absolutely possible too—with a progressive plan, heavier lifting, and a supportive eating strategy. It’s a deliberate, empowering journey that doesn’t happen by accident. I can help guide you through it all via 1-1 Coaching. If you're ready to transform, reach out to find out more.
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.
