This is about sustainable, evidence-based support tailored to the realities of midlife, so you can feel capable and confident in your body again.

Menopause doesn’t mean slowing down — it’s your invitation to build strength, energy, and resilience like never before.
At Fit for Menopause, our training is designed specifically for the changing needs of midlife women. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to regain your fitness with expert support, Julie offers a welcoming, supportive environment to help you feel empowered in your body again.
You can train with Julie:
One-on-one in her private studio — personalised sessions tailored to your goals and energy levels.
In small group sessions with other like-minded women — train, connect, and grow stronger together in a relaxed, non-intimidating space.
With custom programs designed for you to follow at home or in your own gym — perfect if you need flexibility but still want expert guidance.
Each session focuses on safe, effective movement strategies that build muscle, support bone health, enhance balance, and improve confidence. With Julie’s compassionate coaching style and deep understanding of menopause, you’ll learn how to train in ways that respect your body and deliver results.
You’re not just working out — you’re creating a foundation for feeling strong, capable, and in control of your health.
Weight gain during menopause isn’t just about calories — it’s about hormones, stress, sleep, and the subtle shifts happening in your body.
At Fit for Menopause, we take a holistic approach to weight loss that goes far beyond the old-fashioned approach of “eat less, move more”. Julie’s coaching focuses on helping you feel better, move better, and reconnect with what your body truly needs — offering practical, long-term strategies that work with your body, not against it.
This isn’t about restriction — it’s about understanding your body’s needs and learning how to support it through:
Targeted nutrition coaching that helps you eat in a way that balances hormones and fuels your body for energy, mood, and metabolism.
Lifestyle shifts that support better sleep, reduced stress, and improved recovery — all essential for sustainable weight management.
Simple, actionable changes that fit your real life — because no one needs another complicated diet.
Julie will help you understand the “why” behind your body’s changes, so you can stop the cycle of confusion and frustration. With support, education, and compassion, you’ll find a path forward that feels achievable — and lasts.
Because the right approach isn’t about fighting your body — it’s about working with it.
Not sure where to start? Let’s figure it out together.
If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice about midlife health — you’re not alone.
This 1:1 Menopause Coaching session is designed for women who know something needs to change, but aren’t sure where to begin. Maybe it’s strength training. Maybe it’s nutrition. Maybe you just need to talk to someone who actually understands what you’re going through.
In this 45-minute session, you’ll work directly with Julie — a certified menopause coach — to:
You will gain clarity, perspective, and professional guidance to help you take the next step with confidence.
There’s no pressure to sign up for a bigger program. This is simply about getting answers, feeling heard, and finding a path forward that makes sense for you.
Because when it comes to menopause, the best plan is the one that fits your life.
I have been seeing Julie for pt sessions for nearly 5 years now. During that time Julie has always focused on helping me reach any goals I which to achieve. What I really love about Julie is that she is realistic in her approach as well as the outcomes.
I have recently given birth to my first baby and Julie has been extremely accommodating setting two training sessions for each session – one if Bub decides to sleep in his pram and the second including Bub in case he decides he needs to be held. Julie is extremely professional, very knowledgeable and very personable and I would recommend her to anybody looking to get fit, loose weight or build muscle. You won’t be disappointed!
I love it – Julie set a program specifically with me in mind. Her studio is not too big and not too small, no one interrupts when I am training, she is motivational and it’s the best price in the area. I had a gym membership but never showed up. Now I am accountable and I get results.
I have trained with Julie for several years. I’ve been through personal/hormonal/weight issues and Julie has provided me lots of advice and is very knowledgeable on how to change my lifestyle to a healthier one.
Julie is a great motivator and pushes me above and beyond which has been good for my success. She genuinely cares and has always given the right advice regarding what is the best tailored approached for me. I firmly believe I could not have achieved my personal fitness goals without her. I would highly recommend anyone looking to achieve fitness and healthy lifestyle goals have a personal training session with her.
Platinum Fitness Studio offers ample equipment and facilities for challenging workouts and Julie ensures that there is continuing variety in every workout session which target different muscle groups. Working out in a private environment under Julie’s watchful guidance on form and technique ensures results are quickly achieved. Highly recommended!!!
All my life I’ve struggled with being on the ‘too thin’ side. I would get upset when kids at school would tease me by calling me ‘bones’ and ‘anna’. Even though I ate healthy most people I met for the first time thought I had an eating disorder. Since starting PT with Julie 9 months ago I have been able to gain weight and build strong muscle, putting me in the healthy weight category for my height. Julie has been amazing focusing on my techniques to make sure I’m getting the best results.
I have been a very satisfied client of Platinum Personal Training for years. Julie, who owns and operates Platinum Personal Training provides me with a personalised exercise program, always making adjustments for any weaknesses or injuries that I may be experiencing and at the same time, offering lots of encouragement. My regular visits to Julie have enabled me to improve my fitness and strength which I consider very important for my health and physical activity long term. Julie has a wide understanding of health issues affecting ladies pre and post menopause including diet, mobility and well being. I highly recommend Julie as a personal trainer – I enjoy my visits for a good workout and a good laugh!
What can I say, seriously, the girl can’t count. Apart from that I wouldn’t be found exercising with anyone else but Julie. She knows my body and my limitations and knows how to use that in order to get the absolute best from me.
With the help of Julie, I can participate in adventures I would otherwise be too scared to. Julie knows my weaknesses and builds them into strengths, giving me the confidence to get the most out of life.
