Personal training for women

I specialise in women’s fitness and devise exercise programmes specifically to meet their needs.

Menopause can be a particularly challenging time when it comes to maintaining your figure and fitness – not to mention that sunny disposition you once had.

58 year old Hilary has gone from strength to strength since starting her fitness journey with FitActive Personal Training back in July 2018:

“I am forever grateful to Nicky for getting me on to the straight and narrow and keeping me there!
.
She had a tough brief, to get my heart and lungs really working but without putting any weight on my knee.
.
Her bespoke, tailored approach has just worked so well for me.
.
I can’t thank her enough!”

Session Format

Covid-safe personal training sessions take place over Zoom or FaceTime, allowing you to exercise safely in your own space using just a few straightforward pieces of equipment.

Prior to your initial session, I will ask you to complete health questionnaire and we start by discussing this, before working on some movement patterns.

As we get… older…

So as we all know, the aging process results in a reduction of the female hormone, oestrogen. This causes a decline in muscle mass and bone density and as oestrogen is also protective for the heart and brain, these will need a little more looking after too.

If the thought of taking exercise whilst feeling dog-tired, grumpy and concerned about your pelvic floor fills you with gloom, take heart. The right kind of exercise will help to renew your energy levels and counter the effects of the menopause on muscles, bones, heart and brain. Better still, you’ll feel a lot happier about life too.

There’s good news!
Smart exercise, using weights plus tailored cardio-vascular intervals are highly effective measures at combatting many of the physical and emotional issues associated with mid and later life.

Time well spent

It always helps to know that the valuable time you spend on exercise is being used effectively.

Perhaps you need a little help with motivation by having a regular appointment for fitness in the diary. My clients travel from Moreton-in-Marsh, Blockley, Chipping Norton, Kingham and Churchill to exercise with FitActive. Sessions operate between the hours of 8.30am and 3.00pm.

The way I see it…

When it comes to exercise, I have a pretty simple philosophy.

“Purpose” is what you want it to be – keeping up with the kids, the dogs, the horses, the gardening, an active job.

Feel fit, stay active.

Functional exercise will train your body to be fit for purpose – purpose being all the things you want to do in life. It could be increasing your energy levels or taking preventative action against the aging process. It’s your choice.
