From Menopause Fatigue to Muscle and Momentum at 52

“I already had a trainer. I already ate clean. But my body just wasn’t responding.”

That’s what Cheryl, 52, said when she joined our Strong and Sexy program. Like many women over 40, Cheryl wasn’t lazy. She wasn’t clueless. She was just stuck — and tired of guessing.

The Reality of Midlife Fitness:

Once you hit perimenopause or menopause, everything shifts — hormones, metabolism, stress tolerance, even recovery.


What worked in your 20s, 30s or even early 40s might completely stall out in your 50s.
And that’s exactly what Cheryl was feeling.

She came to us looking for:

  • Structure with her training

  • Muscle-building support

  • Hormone-balancing nutrition

  • Long-term wellness, not a quick fix


The Shift: From Frustrated to Focused

Once Cheryl joined, she finally had a program that matched where she was now — not 10 years ago.


She started:

  • Tracking her macros (with hormone-friendly adjustments)

  • Lifting with mind-muscle connection

  • Staying consistent, not perfect

  • Checking in weekly with her coach

  • Navigating real life (injuries, travel, and even emotional challenges)

And the results? Speak for themselves. Check it out ⬇️

180 day transformation and body recomposition for women over 40

“I feel smaller, leaner, more confident. My energy is back. Even when the scale plays games with me, I know my body is changing. At 52, I’ve never felt better.”

Cheryl’s Wins So Far:

✅ 20 lbs lost
✅ 3.5 inches off her waist
✅ Clothes fit looser, confidence way up
✅ Managed back and shoulder injuries without losing progress
✅ Thrived through personal stress and travel
✅ Renewed for another 6 months
✅ Met someone new — and is thriving in more ways than one

What Makes Cheryl Stand Out?

It’s not just her results. It’s her resilience.
Even when life threw curveballs (like a hiking injury, a friend’s cancer diagnosis, and her daughter’s accident), she didn’t quit.
She adapted. She stayed focused.
She became the woman she used to only imagine becoming.

If you’re a woman over 40 who feels like you're doing everything — and still not seeing the results you want… it’s not your fault.

You just need a new strategy.

One that supports your hormones.
One that values muscle.
One that’s built for your current phase of life — not the one you’ve outgrown.

Cheryl didn’t need more discipline. She needed a smarter plan.
Now she has one — and her results (and mindset) reflect that.
