Menopause can feel like your body has flipped the script. What used to work suddenly doesn’t, and it’s easy to feel stuck and frustrated about where to turn next. But here’s the truth: with the right strength training and support, you can turn this chapter into one of your strongest yet.
During menopause, many women notice changes in energy, sleep, balance, body composition, and overall confidence. Weight creeps on more easily, strength and bone density can decline, and even simple things like opening a jar can start to feel harder than they used to. The good news? These shifts aren’t set in stone. By building muscle, protecting bone health, and reigniting your metabolism, you can regain strength, vitality, and confidence at any age.
Research shows that women can lose up to 30% of their bone density after menopause if nothing is done about it. Muscle mass also naturally declines, leading to slower metabolism, stubborn weight gain, and less strength for everyday life.
That’s why we run Thriving Through Menopause strength training programmes – designed specifically to:
It’s no wonder. Most gyms aren’t built for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond. They’re noisy, impersonal, and filled with equipment that can feel intimidating or confusing.
At Body Torque, we do things differently:
“Now, as a woman approaching 69, I can say the benefits of training with Alex and his team at Body Torque over the past 7+ years have been phenomenal. I see it as insurance for a strong, healthy, active life – and it delivers. Alex understands the challenges women face as we age; for me, it’s been bone density. His training works – just ask my bones.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Mary, Body Torque Member
“Twenty years ago, I joined a gym, spent an awful lot of money and failed. I joined Body Torque with hope that I could arrest this aging decline… I am now in my third year of membership and am more committed than ever.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Louise, Body Torque Member
“In my 50’s, I thought my body was past reshaping and kilos were impossible to lose. Alex, Phil and Body Torque have proven me wrong.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Rosalie, Body Torque Member
