Why train with Carla

Strength training built around your body in midlife.

Real coaching for women who want to feel strong, mobile and energised — without doing workouts that worked for them in their 20s.

Smart programming

Sessions designed by a Female Personal Trainer who has lived menopause herself. Tailored to how a 40-plus body actually moves, not a generic gym plan.

Form first, always

Quality of the lift matters more than how heavy you go. Technique-first coaching keeps you progressing without picking up injuries that derail you for months.

Small, women-only groups

Sessions capped at 8 women. You will be known, supported and pushed at your own pace — never lost in a 40-person bootcamp.

Sustainable, for life

Helping clients since 2010. The whole point of training in your 50s and 60s is to still be moving well in your 70s and 80s — every program is built around longevity.

More than lifting weights.
Lifting yourself.

Move with confidence again

Whether menopause has scrambled your sleep, your energy or your body shape — we start where you are. No 6am bootcamp shame, no "just push through it."

Build muscle, protect bone

Resistance training is non-negotiable in your 50s and 60s — it slows muscle loss, preserves bone density, lifts mood and improves insulin sensitivity. We program every session around that science.

Train for the next 30 years

Carla is in her 50s and post-menopause herself. The whole approach is built around staying strong and mobile well into your 70s and 80s — not just looking good for summer.
