The evidence is clear that as our body's oestrogen production declines, we need to change the way we exercise to better manage how hormonal changes affect our bodies. Once we hit the peri-menopause, it's recommended that we increase our strength training. But no matter how solid your current fitness regime, this may take you into a new area. Our 'Introduction to Strength Training' classes support you to build knowledge and body-awareness so you can confidently work with weights, including your body weight.

We create a safe, non-competitive space, supporting you to build a good technique, and teaching you the skills to listen to your body's signals depending on where you are in your cycle or stage of menopause. Classes are aimed at beginners but we also welcome anyone with mixed ability, as we know that even if you’re experienced at strength training you might want to come and ‘check in’ with your technique, or use our class as a recovery session.

Wear something comfy that you can move around in easily, bring your water bottle and join us!

You can book a single class or buy a block of 5 or 10 passes that you can redeem against any of our classes and talks.

Once you’ve developed your technique and endurance in this class, we recommend you try our Low Impact HIIT Training class, and our Tendon and Bone Strengthening class.
