Strength training for women over 40 in Auckland: Your key to healthy aging
The power of strength after 40 Hitting your 40s and beyond doesn’t have to mean slowing down, it’s the perfect…
"I am relatively new to the gym. I joined hesitantly after much persuasion by a group of friends, but I’ve found a true happy place. This is a friendly, encouraging environment of like-minded people who are all striving to do better and be better, offering endless support. It is unlike any gym I’ve been to."
Your 40’s and beyond is a time to live life and thrive. With our tailored strength training, you’ll boost your energy, feel more confident, and stay active for life’s moments that matter.
"You’re not losing strength because you’re aging - you’re aging faster because you’re losing strength. The moment you start lifting is the moment you start rewriting your future."
Alex Flint B.Phys.Ed, Founder Body Torque
From your 40's onward muscle mass and bone density decline, plus weight gain can become harder to avoid.
We'll help you change that narrative and give you the power to move with confidence, today and for years to come.
"Skeletal muscle is the organ of longevity. Maintaining it through resistance training is one of the most effective ways to prevent metabolic decline and loss of independence as we age."
"Strength training is the only proven exercise that sends a direct signal to your bones to grow stronger reducing menopause-related bone loss by up to 3% per year and lowering fracture risk."
Life is busy and it’s easy to feel held back by family commitments, time pressures, gym nerves or fear of injury. For some women, pelvic floor or core concerns can also make exercise feel daunting. At Body Torque, we work around these concerns, help remove barriers and replace intimidation and fear with encouragement and confidence.
With expert coaching and a supportive community, you don’t need to be fit to begin - just willing to take the first step.
An evidence-based* group strength training programme designed for women navigating life’s changes. No prior gym experience is needed and we cater to all levels of experience and ability.
"After 40, building muscle isn’t about looking fit - it is a hormone powerhouse. When women lift they switch on the biology that keeps them healthy, strong, and metabolically resilient through menopause and beyond."
Dr Lauren Colenso-Semple
