01Menopause & midlife strength
Build muscle, protect your future health and feel capable in a body that may suddenly feel unfamiliar.

Menopause & midlife strength
Build muscle, protect your future health and feel capable in a body that may suddenly feel unfamiliar.
This may be you if…
Perimenopause or menopause has changed your energy, recovery, confidence, sleep or body composition - and the old approach no longer works.
What we might work on
- Progressive strength training for muscle, bone and confidence
- Flexible training around symptoms, stress and recovery
- Cardiovascular fitness that supports health and energy
- Nutrition without panic, punishment or menopause misinformation
The direction
A stronger body, more trust in what it can do and a plan that evolves with you rather than fighting you.
Midlife • strength
Clare, 55
The menopause changed her health. Strength helped her rebuild.
70KGdeadlift
Clare rebuilt her strength progressively and learned what her body was capable of in this chapter of life.
“I am now stronger than I have ever been - even after the menopause. I can’t believe I can now deadlift 70kg and hold my own bodyweight.”
02Food freedom & body trust
Move away from guilt, restriction and the exhausting cycle of being “good” until life happens.

Food freedom & body trust
Move away from guilt, restriction and the exhausting cycle of being “good” until life happens.
This may be you if…
You know a lot about nutrition but still feel controlled by food, body checking, guilt, emotional eating or all-or-nothing habits.
What we might work on
- Regular, supportive eating patterns
- Protein, food quality and portions without rigid perfection
- Reducing the restrict-overeat-restart cycle
- Using training to build capability rather than compensate for food
The direction
More calm around food, more flexibility in real life and a body relationship built on respect rather than constant correction.
Body + food • real life
Catherine, 32
The transformation travelled with her.
The goal stopped being a smaller body at any cost. Catherine enjoyed different food, wine and cocktails on holiday without feeling out of control - and still chose movement because it felt good.
“Getting my skin out and not feeling ashamed, embarrassed or uncomfortable - even in 40-degree heat. Best I’ve ever felt on holiday.”
03Performance & meaningful goals

Performance & meaningful goals
Train for the marathon, ultra, HYROX or challenge that makes you feel properly alive.
This may be you if…
You want more than random workouts. You need a structured plan that balances strength, engine work, skill, recovery and the rest of your life.
What we might work on
- Goal-specific strength and conditioning
- Clear weekly targets and progressive programming
- Technique feedback and intelligent load management
- Support through setbacks, nerves and race preparation
The direction
Arrive prepared, resilient and confident - with the performance to match the work you have put in.
Performance • confidence
Millie
Push-ups. Olympic lifts. A different person.
Her progress became about far more than how she looked: learning new skills, building strength and seeing herself differently.
“I feel like a completely different person. In the BEST way.”

Pregnancy & return to training
Stay connected to strength through pregnancy and rebuild with patience, intelligence and zero pressure to bounce back.
This may be you if…
You want your training to support pregnancy, birth preparation or your return postpartum, while respecting a body and life that are changing.
What we might work on
- Appropriate strength and conditioning through each phase
- Symptom-led exercise modification and load management
- A gradual, confidence-building return postpartum
- Collaboration with your pelvic-health or medical team where needed
The direction
A supported route back to strength that honours recovery, identity and the realities of caring for a new baby.
05Weight loss for health
Reduce health risk and improve quality of life without turning your entire existence into a diet.
+
Weight loss for health
Reduce health risk and improve quality of life without turning your entire existence into a diet.
This may be you if…
Weight loss would meaningfully support your health, movement, energy or long-term wellbeing - but extreme plans have never lasted.
What we might work on
- A realistic energy deficit without crash dieting
- Strength training to retain muscle and build function
- Cardiovascular fitness, steps, sleep and recovery
- Habits designed around your actual home and work life
The direction
Meaningful, maintainable progress alongside better fitness, strength and confidence in everyday movement.
Health • sustainable change
Shauna • London
Coming off weight-loss medication didn’t mean going back to square one.
7 MONTHSof rebuilding habits and trust
Coaching focused on hunger awareness, fuelling for health and mood, consistent home training and a clear maintenance strategy. Medication itself remained outside the coaching remit.
“I feel emotional looking at these pics… five weeks off the jabs and I can still see huge improvements.”Client-reported outcome. Coaching did not replace medical care.
06Body recomposition & confidence
Yes, you are allowed to want to look like you train - without hating yourself into the result.

Body recomposition & confidence
Yes, you are allowed to want to look like you train - without hating yourself into the result.
This may be you if…
You want more muscle, less body fat and visible change, but you also want meals out, holidays, energy and a life.
What we might work on
- Progressive resistance training with measurable targets
- Nutrition matched to your goal and training phase
- Building muscle, shape and athletic capacity
- A sustainable route through maintenance, growth or fat-loss phases
The direction
A body you feel proud of, built through capability and consistency rather than shame, urgency or endless restriction.
Body recomposition
Client result
Physical change - without making punishment the method.
10.5KGlost through self-compassion + consistency
Visible change was built around progressive training, education and a way of living that could actually continue.
The common thread
Your goals can be aesthetic, athletic, emotional or health-led. The work is still about becoming stronger for the life you want.
The deeper result
Progress is bigger than an “after” photo.
Health • recovery • self-trust
One year from not being able to walk to running 10km.
“The silver lining has been Fran coaching me to believe my body will be strong again - and that overcoming trauma is strength.”
Anonymised for client privacy
Consistency • real life
The result wasn’t never needing a break. It was no longer giving up.
“Working with Fran has shown me how to ride the wave that is REAL LIFE - and enjoy the process - while getting my body fat down and feeling the best I have as an adult.”
Louise
Strength • self-prioritisation
She spent her life doing for everyone else. Then she learnt to do for herself, too.
“Thank you for helping me to fight by lifting weights, building stamina and learning new ways to build muscle.”
