This is strongHER
Menopause affects 100% of women, but less than 5% receive proper treatment.
We noticed the silence, the false information, and the stigma - but we knew that we could offer real help and support.
That's why we did the research, trained our entire network, and can finally share our solution – a support system that is built for you, and one that works. Introducing strongHER by Vision Personal Training.
Our one-of-a-kind program designed to help every woman future-proof their health and mobility before, during and beyond menopause.
This isn’t about working harder - it’s about training smarter.
Every plan is personalised. Every session is guided. And we adjust as your body changes.
Let’s rewrite what this chapter means. Together.
20% of bone density is lost during menopause.
Your body is changing - in more ways than just hot flushes.
Strength training is a non-negotiable throughout perimenopause and menopause, helping to maintain muscle mass, support bone density, improve your metabolism and boost your mood.
Combined with the right nutrition - such as lean protein to preserve muscle and manage appetite - you can future-proof your health and mobility before, during and beyond menopause.
With one-on-one training sessions, structured nutrition, and support from educated Personal Trainers (like Marcus here!) who truly understand what your body is going through, we help to ensure you're maintaining your health and mobility long term by training smarter, not harder.

FAQs
- What happens to a woman’s body during menopause?
-
During perimenopause and menopause, your estrogen and progesterone levels drop. This can lead to changes in your metabolism, mood, sleep, bone density, and muscle mass. It’s not all in your head - it’s hormonal, and we can help. At Vision we know with the right support through movement, nutrition, and mindset, you can absolutely feel strong, capable, and in control again.
- Should I be doing strength training during menopause?
-
Absolutely - it’s a non-negotiable! Strength training is one of the best things you can do during perimenopause and menopause. It helps maintain muscle mass, supports bone density, improves metabolism, and boosts your mood. Aim for resistance training 2/3 times per week - it’s about quality, not just quantity.
- Is it too late to start training now?
-
Absolutely not. You are never too old, too late, or too far gone to start moving your body and to feel strong. We’ve seen countless clients of all ages achieve what they set out to - it’s about having the right plan in place with a coach in your corner. Starting in perimenopause or post-menopause can be a powerful time - your body will thank you for every rep, every walk, and every act of self-care from here forward.
- Why does it feel harder to lose weight during menopause?
-
Estrogen plays a role in where your body stores fat, and during menopause, fat tends to shift to the abdominal area. Plus, your resting metabolism may slow. At Vision we believe in a custom program, backed by science. The key isn’t drastic dieting, or excessive cardio - it’s strength training, balanced protein intake, and lifestyle consistency that supports your hormones long-term.
- Can exercise help with mood swings or anxiety?
-
Yes! Exercise is a natural mood booster. Movement increases endorphins and helps regulate cortisol and insulin - both of which can be disrupted during menopause. Just 20/30 minutes a day of walking or training can make a huge difference in how you feel mentally and emotionally.
- Is cardio still important during menopause?
-
Yes - but with balance. While strength training is essential, cardio supports heart health, endurance, and mental clarity. Walking, interval training, or light jogging 2/3 times a week is great. Don’t overdo it - too much high-intensity cardio can increase cortisol, which works against your goals. A balance of low to moderate plus a smaller amount of HIIT is the best approach.
- Why do I feel bloated or inflamed?
-
Bloating can come from hormonal fluctuations and changes in digestion during menopause. Stay hydrated, and avoid overly processed or salty foods. Strength training and regular movement can also support gut health and reduce inflammation.
- Why am I more tired than usual during menopause?
-
Fatigue during perimenopause and menopause can be caused by hormonal changes - particularly dips in estrogen and disrupted sleep. Supporting your body through exercise, recovery, hydration, and consistent routines can make a big difference. And yes, rest days are training too!
- What is the best diet during menopause?
-
There’s no one-size-fits-all, as no one is the same! At Vision we know 70% of your result comes from your nutrition. Prioritise lean proteins, omega-3 fats, colourful veggies, and fibre. Protein is especially important to preserve muscle and manage appetite. And don’t fear carbs, just choose the right types - like oats, legumes and whole grains.
- What supplements should I consider during perimenopause or menopause?
-
Always speak to your doctor first, but common supportive supplements include:
- Vitamin D & Calcium for bone health
- Magnesium for sleep and mood
- Omega-3s for inflammation
- Creatine for muscle and brain healthRemember: food comes first, supplements fill the gaps.
