Empowering the menopause – strength, support and wellness
t East Coast Fitness, we understand the transformative journey of menopause and its unique challenges.
That's why we set out on a mission to set up a supportive environment where women can gather, uplift one another, and utilise the benefits of exercise to navigate this phase with resilience and grace.
Our first 'Together Through Menopause' class last weekend was really inspiring.
Ten incredible women joined us, and the feedback we received left us beaming with pride.
They walked away from the class feeling revitalised and invigorated, with some even noticing immediate improvements in strength and focus after just one session!
AWhat's the secret behind this transformation? It's simple: the combination of exercise, camaraderie, and targeted support.
We kick-off each class with 30 minutes of gentle strength training, followed by a refreshing 30-minute walk-andtalk session.
Why the emphasis on strength training?
Well, menopause brings about hormonal changes, including a decline in oestrogen levels.
This can lead to issues like decreased bone density and increased risk of osteoporosis.
But here's the good news: strength training has been shown to counteract these effects.
Additionally, many women experience weight gain during menopause due to lower oestrogen levels.
But by building muscle mass, you can boost your metabolism, making it easier to manage your weight during this transition period.
But it's not just about the physical benefits. The second half of our class is dedicated to open discussions about all things menopause-related as we take a leisurely stroll along the scenic Seaham seafront.
The power of these conversations cannot be overstated. Connecting with other women who are on a similar journey can be incredibly empowering and refreshing.
So, if you're navigating the ups and downs of menopause and craving a supportive community to help you along the way, we invite you to join us for our next Together Through Menopause class.
Trust us, you'll leave feeling stronger, more energised, and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
