Feel Strong, Energised & Confident
A Every Age

Fitness that fits your life. No fads. No crash diets. Just sustainable strength, movement, and support.

Hi, I'm Michelle

I’m Michelle — a 45-year-old personal trainer, running coach,

and sports massage therapist helping women build strength,

My Coaching Philosophy

I specialise in helping women aged 40 and beyond feel strong, energised, and confident in their bodies—without crash diets, punishing workouts, or the pressure to look a certain way. At the same time, I welcome younger women and men who want to embrace a balanced, empowering approach to health and fitness.

At 45, I know fitness isn’t about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about feeling good in your own skin, keeping up with life’s demands, and building the strength and resilience to enjoy the things you love most.

With qualifications in Personal Training, Running Coaching, Sports Massage, Nutrition, and CrossFit, I take a holistic approach that blends strength, movement, recovery, and mindset — because all of these elements matter for lasting wellness.

I’ve guided beginners, those returning after a break, and seasoned athletes alike. Having competed at the Hyrox World Championships, I understand what it means to train with dedication — but I also believe that consistency, sustainability, and supportive coaching make all the difference.

Whether your goal is to get stronger, move more freely, run further, or simply reclaim your energy, I’m here to guide you every step of the way — with no fads, no judgement, and no nonsense.

What You Might Be Wondering

How do the sessions work?

Whether you’re doing one-to-one coaching or booking a massage, every session is personalised to you. For PT clients, I’ll start by getting to know your goals, current lifestyle, and any challenges you’re facing. From there, we’ll create a plan that fits your life — with workouts that evolve as you get stronger and more confident. Sessions can take place in your home, a private gym, or outdoors in the Greenwich area. For massage clients, I’ll bring everything needed to turn your space into a relaxing, professional treatment room.

What should I wear?

For coaching sessions, wear something you feel comfortable moving in — leggings, a T-shirt, and supportive trainers are perfect. No need for fancy gear. For massage appointments, just have a towel or blanket handy; I’ll guide you through how to set up before we begin, and your comfort and privacy are always the priority.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Life happens, and I understand things come up! I kindly ask for a minimum of 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations within that window may be charged to cover the lost session time.

Do I need to be fit or experienced to start?

​Not at all — that’s what I’m here for. Most of my clients come to me feeling unsure, unfit, or like they’ve lost their way with exercise. You don’t need to be in shape to start — you just need to be ready to take that first step. I’ll meet you exactly where you are and support you every step of the way, no judgment, just encouragement.

Why Training Through Menopause Matters

Menopause isn’t the end of your fitness journey — it’s the perfect time to take charge of your health and feel stronger than ever. As hormones shift, your body needs a different kind of support. That’s where the right kind of training can truly transform how you feel.

Here’s how movement and strength training can help during menopause:

Build & Maintain Muscle


As oestrogen declines, we naturally lose muscle mass — but resistance training helps you keep strength, shape, and metabolism.

Boost Your Metabolism


Strength training supports fat loss and helps balance blood sugar, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

Improve Mood & Mental Clarity


Exercise helps release endorphins, reduce anxiety, and lift low moods — which are common during this stage of life.

Sleep Better


Regular training supports deeper, more restful sleep by reducing stress and regulating hormones.

Protect Your Bones


Weight-bearing exercise helps slow down bone loss, lowering the risk of osteoporosis.

Support Heart Health


Cardio and strength workouts improve circulation, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Feel Empowered in Your Body


More than anything, movement helps you reconnect with your body, build confidence, and feel good from the inside out.

Eating Well During Menopause

What to Eat More Of:

Protein


As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass. Protein helps preserve lean muscle, supports your metabolism, and keeps you feeling full. Aim to include a good source of protein at every meal—think chicken, fish, eggs, beans, tofu, or Greek yoghurt.

Calcium & Vitamin D


Bone health becomes even more important during menopause. Foods like dairy, leafy greens, almonds, and fortified cereals are great for calcium. Don’t forget Vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium—sunlight helps, but you might also need a supplement.

 Whole Grains & Fibre


To support digestion, heart health, and stable energy, go for whole grains like oats, brown rice, quinoa, and wholemeal bread. Fibre also helps manage cholesterol and supports gut health.

Healthy Fats


Omega-3s (found in oily fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts) can help with mood and brain health. Avocados, olive oil, and nuts are also great choices.

Fruit & Veg


Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fibre. Aim for a colourful variety to help reduce inflammation and support overall wellbeing.

What to Cut Back On:

Refined Sugar & Processed Foods


These can mess with your blood sugar, increase cravings, and affect your mood. Try to limit biscuits, sweets, and sugary cereals.

Alcohol


It can worsen hot flushes, disrupt sleep, and impact your mood and energy. You don’t need to cut it out entirely—but being mindful helps.

Caffeine


Some people find caffeine increases anxiety, disrupts sleep, or triggers hot flushes. Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust if needed.

Highly Processed Carbs


White bread, pastries, and other refined carbs can cause energy crashes and promote weight gain around the middle.
