Why work with a personal trainer who specialises in menopause?

If you're looking for a personal trainer for menopause, you're in the right place. Generic gym programmes don't account for what happens to your body during perimenopause and menopause.

Because hormonal changes affect how you recover, how you build strength, and how you respond to exercise, your training needs to reflect that. My sessions are built around where you are right now: your fitness level, your symptoms, your goals and your lifestyle.

Nothing cookie-cutter. No one-size-fits-all plans.

What's included

Train with a pharmacologist who gets it

There's a moment many women describe: when their body stops responding the way it used to. When the training they've always done suddenly doesn't work anymore. I understand that feeling.

As a pharmacologist, certified personal trainer and menopause coach, I know both the science of what's happening hormonally and the practical reality of training through it.

My sessions therefore combine evidence-based strength training with real, compassionate support. You'll never feel judged, rushed or like just another client. Every session is built around you.

Marleen

In just a few weeks, I've noticed significant improvements physically and mentally — I feel stronger, my posture has improved, and I'm more connected to my body. Each session is enjoyable and motivating, thanks to Marleen's positive and supportive approach.
