Perimenopause Strength and Endurance Coaching

Perimenopause isn’t just a hormonal rollercoaster—it’s a wake-up call for how your body handles stress, training, and recovery.

The truth? What used to work might not cut it anymore. That’s not weakness—it’s biology. And the antidote is adaptation.

Whether you're chasing health for the long haul or eyeing up a race finish line, strength training becomes non-negotiable after 40.

But regardless of whether you're a runner, cyclist, triathlete—or just want to move like yourself again—we’ll tailor your approach so you can train smarter, recover better, and keep showing up for what (and who) you love.

Strength and Endurance Coaching

Strength Training

Menopausal muscle loss is real—but so is your power to fight back.

Endurance Coaching

Endurance sports can still thrive in midlife—you just have to tweak the toolkit.

Plans That Fit Your Life (and Budget)

Not everyone needs (or wants) full-throttle coaching—and that’s okay. I offer two tiers of support, so you can choose what fits your goals and your resources.

  • Fully Tailored Coaching
    One-to-one support with fully personalised plans, hands-on scheduling, and regular progress reviews—ideal if you're tackling complex symptoms, performance goals, or just want that deeper accountability.

  • Budget-Conscious Coaching
    Structured plans that still deliver results, with less personalisation and fewer touchpoints—but plenty of clarity and guidance to keep you moving forward.

Menopausal muscle loss is real—but so is your power to fight back. Strength training after 40 isn’t about bulking up or lifting heavy for the sake of it. It’s about preserving bone density, improving metabolic health, building resilience, and making daily life
feel easier. Whether you’re new to strength work, picking it back up or continuing with it, we’ll design a plan that builds muscle, supports your joints, and grows confidence from the inside out.

What you can expect from strength training

  • Designed to suit your fitness level, lifestyle, and hormonal shifts

  • Safe and structured progression based on what your body can handle—no burnout, just smart adaptation

  • Movements that translate into real-life strength for parenting, ageing, and everyday badassery

  • Help fitting your training into your real-life rhythm, whether you’re juggling kids or careers

  • Blended coaching that balances stamina-building with muscular resilience

  • Training designed for the demands of running, cycling, or triathlon—tailored to your current performance level

  • Plans that work with your hormones and your life, not against them

  • Whether it’s a race, a personal best, or simply maintaining independence, we’ll train toward what matters most to you

Endurance sports can still thrive in midlife—you just have to tweak the toolkit. If you're a runner, cyclist, triathlete, or anything in between, we’ll craft a plan that respects your hormonal reality and builds in the strength your sport needs. Because yes, endurance still matters. But strength is its secret weapon.

“Strength training with Annalie has made a huge difference to my running. The knee pain I used to have going up and down hills (so bad I was starting to think I might have to give up running) has gone. Now I enjoy the feeling of strength in my legs as I haul my arse up the hills.

Annalie structures the workouts so they are running specific - both for my form and fitness. And as an added bonus, I enjoy the strength and functional fitness when I’m tramping. It makes loading my pack with wine and chocolate as well as my tramping gear that much more feasible.”
