Why Our Gym Is Different
Our gym is designed completely around the needs of peri & menopausal women, physically, emotionally and socially.
You’ll find:
-
No mirrors
-
No judgement
-
No diet culture
-
No unstaffed hours
Just a warm, supportive, women-only space with coaches who understand midlife bodies, hormonal changes, joint pain, anxiety, hypermobility and starting again.
You’ll feel safe, guided and welcome, from the moment you walk in.
The ladies that work in this gym are on another level. Being an early bird I see Amanda and Estelle regularly and they are always there to correct my form, offer support and just for a general chat about life! What more could you want from a gym!?!

How We Work
Open 7 Days a Week
5:30am - 10pm Weekdays
7am - 1pm Weekends
Unlimited access with every gym cohort.
Instead of open-ended memberships, we run 8-week personalised cohorts designed specifically for peri & menopausal women who want structure, safety and clear guidance.
No wandering around.
No guesswork.
No feeling lost.
Each cohort gives you:
-
a clear plan to follow,
-
supportive, women-only coaching,
-
accountability,
-
and a group of women starting at the same time as you.
It’s the simplest, safest and most confidence-building way to train in a gym, especially if you’re anxious, starting again, or navigating midlife changes.
What You Get in
Every 6-Week Cohort
No matter which pathway you choose, every cohort includes:
-
A clear, structured 6-week plan
-
A women-only environment designed for safety and comfort
-
Coaches who understand peri & menopause
-
Guidance for technique, form and confidence
-
Joint-friendly modifications for hypermobility and pain
-
Mobility & stretch support
-
Progress tracking
-
A friendly, supportive community
-
Zero mirrors, zero pressure, zero judgement
You’re never left guessing.
You always know exactly what to do.
What Our Women Say
I joined the women’s weightlifting club when it first opened in January. It has provided me with structure and has really helped set my focus instead of wandering round the gym a little lost.
- Anne Lester, 55 [Facebook Review]
I wouldn’t walk in the gym by myself, so dragged my friend with me and made her come with me for the first time with Estelle, after that I knew I would happily walk in here. Then the rest is history..
Fab gym, fab team, women for women !!! …
- Patches Tucker, 34 [Facebook Review]
This small gym is so friendly and knowledgable, all the trainers will help at any time. They step in if you are doing something incorrectly and encourage at all times.
I cannot recommend this gym enough!

FAQs
Do I need to be fit to join?
No. Most women start as complete beginners, and the First-Timers cohort is built specifically for this.
What if I’m anxious or haven’t trained in years?
You’ll be joining a group of women starting at the same time as you. Everything is explained, demonstrated and supported.
Is this suitable if I’m hypermobile or have chronic pain?
Yes. Our coaches are menopause-aware and joint-friendly, with modifications for pain, stiffness and hypermobility. We may need to chat with your consultant or GP to check if there's anything we need to adapt to.
Can I switch pathways later?
Yes. After the cohort, you can move into Personal Gym Programme, Gym & Classes, SGPT, or repeat a cohort. We’ll guide you.
What equipment do I need?
Nothing. Everything is provided in the gym.
Will this be too hard?
No. Each pathway is tailored to your starting point. You’ll progress at your own pace with full support.
When do the cohorts run?
Cohorts run in term-time cycles throughout the year. You’ll join the next intake.
What happens after the 8 weeks?
You can continue into the next cohort, move into classes, SGPT, or follow a new programme. We’ll help you choose the best fit.
