I need your help!

I would love to ask you all a great favour.

I want to create a Podcast on why people struggle to start exercise, strength training (home and in the gym), Gym intimidation, what keeps you going to the gym and how you stay motivated.

Your experiences are so valuable. This could help others start to make a change or for those who are still trying to make that decision it could help them tackle those fears or hesitation.

I have attached a survey that everyone can contribute too. Whether you are going to the gym, working out or not taking that step yet. All your input is so important.

I really hope you can help.

If you have any questions please reach out.

Why Women Hesitate in the Gym — & How They Push Through This short survey is for a podcast episode exploring women's experiences with starting exercise, especially weight training. Your answers are anonymous and will help create real, honest content. Thank you!

For a long time, women were taught to approach fitness by doing more… and eating less.

More cardio.
Less food.
Avoid heavy weights.
Thin is healthy

And for a lot of women, especially in their 40s and beyond, that approach is now catching up with them.

Not because they didn’t try hard enough —
but because the strategy wasn’t built for long-term health.

What actually matters as we get older?

→ Maintaining and building muscle
→ Supporting bone density
→ Eating enough to fuel your body
→ Training with purpose (not punishment)
→ Prioritising recovery just as much as effort

This isn’t about doing extremes or starting over.

It’s about adjusting the approach so your body is supported — not constantly pushed into the ground.

And yes, it works at any age.

If this hit home, let me know below or send me a message — I’m always happy to help guide you in the right direction 🤍
