From Menopause to Empowerment:
Discovering My Strength✨
For nearly four decades, I’ve worked as a strength and conditioning coach, supporting women through all stages of life. Like many women, menopause brought unexpected challenges for me too — muscle loss, joint pain, reduced confidence, and a body that no longer felt familiar.
"What this experience taught me is simple but powerful: confidence comes first and strength follows".
I understand how easy it is to put yourself last, to feel unsure where to begin, or to lose belief in your body after past attempts haven’t worked. That’s why I created a gentle, structured approach that removes pressure and replaces it with clarity and reassurance.
Today, I help women rebuild confidence first, then strength — so they feel capable, supported, and at home in their bodies again.

Experience & Credibility
Credibility factor: I've had the honour of training Olympic gold medalist Sally Gunnell and authored two books, "First Steps to Fitness" and "Your Personal Trainer," with a foreword by Sally. Additionally, my unique experiences as a body double for Madonna on her Blonde Ambition tour at Madame Tussauds, London, highlight my diverse expertise. Recently, I've become certified as a Menopause Coach through the Menopause Movement, enhancing my qualifications to support women through life's transitions.

Real women - Real bodies -
Real confidence Rebuild
You don’t need to work everything out on your own — or push yourself beyond what feels right. I guide you through a simple, confidence-first structure designed specifically for midlife women.
Each week, you’re supported by five targeted classes, each with a clear role in helping you feel stronger, more capable, and more at ease in your body.
There’s no guessing what to do, when to do it, or how hard to push.
You simply show up — and I guide you.
Classes are available live or on-demand, so you can move in a way that fits your life,
your energy, and your schedule. Why this works (and feels different)
This isn’t about chasing results or forcing motivation.
It’s about building confidence first — and letting strength follow naturally.
You move forward one step at a time, supported, seen, and never judged.
Let’s get stronger together with two supportive strength classes a week, with recovery in between, so you can build lean muscle and feel safer and more confident in your body.
A gentle wellbeing class where we ease tight spots, move with more comfort, and finish with a quiet meditation to sit with yourself, then a few minutes of journaling on how you feel – giving your body and mind some TLC
Short, sweet bursts of movement with new exercises each month – boosting your cardio fitness, supporting pelvic health and keeping your brain sharp.
Feel steady, connected and confident on your feet – this class supports all the other classes you do with me as part of a complete system.

5-Day Confidence-Building
Course £49.99
If jumping straight into a membership feels like too much, this is where you begin.
Over five days, I gently guide you back into movement, helping you reconnect with your body and rebuild confidence — without pressure or overwhelm.
You’ll experience:
Simple, supportive movement you can do at home
A gentle fitness check-in to help you understand where you’re starting from
Confidence-first guidance from a coach who understands midlife bodies
A calm, encouraging introduction to my teaching style and approach
If you decide to continue, your First Steps fee is credited towards your first month — so nothing is wasted.
Start with confidence. Start here.

becomes a lifestyle.

Workshops & Deeper Exploration Saturdays 90 mins Live on zoom.
Optional · When you’re ready
Sometimes you need space to pause, reflect, and reset — alongside your movement practice.
My workshops, including
Time to Thrive, offer:
• Guided reflection and mindset support
• A deeper connection to your values and goals
• A safe space to explore change at your own pace
• Tools that gently complement your weekly classes
Workshops are optional and always here to support you — never to rush you.

1-2-1 SUPPORT
Limited · By application
Most women get everything they need inside the monthly programme.
Occasionally, additional support can be helpful — for injury recovery, confidence building, or specific personal goals.
These sessions offer:
• Personalised guidance alongside the main programme
• Short-term clarity and reassurance
• Support that complements — not replaces — the subscription
This option is intentionally limited, so my focus remains on the wider community.

What a difference a couple of years of training with Ann has made to me. I’m post menopausal, just hit 70 and I can honestly say that both physically and mentally her exercise classes have made such a difference.
It was a relief to find somebody who specifically targets the older woman. And the classes are all on line so if you can’t make the actual class doing the on-demand is fantastic. I look forward to continuously training with you, bring it on.
Thank you Ann

Have been training with Ann for four years now and have seen my strength and body image increase exponentially. This is not just a workout, this is about living your life at its best, being holistic about your self care and loving yourself. Ann brings everything to the table, and you walk away feeling energised and proud of yourself. I look forward to each and every session – especially knowing that Ann is preparing me to deal with the effects of menopause in the long run. Definitely recommend that you do the trial, you’ll likely stay for the fun…and the results.
