Moving Through Menopause

Welcome to Moving Through Menopause!

Join us at the Gryphon Performance Hub for an enlightening and supportive event focused on navigating the menopausal journey. This series of three in-person workshops is designed to support women in midlife to feel more confident and comfortable with physical activity during the menopause transition.

Many women face barriers to staying active at this stage of life, yet movement — particularly strength training — can play a big role in supporting health, wellbeing, and confidence.

Each 1.5–2 hour session includes guided strength-based exercises that everyone can try, along with simple reflection activities and open group discussions. Together, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities of being active during menopause, share personal stories, and discover practical strategies for wellbeing.

The workshops are hands-on and welcoming, with no prior fitness experience required. They offer a chance to try new activities, talk openly about the impact of menopause, and explore what helps or hinders women from getting involved in exercise.

Led by Hannah Campbell, a qualified Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Moving Through Menopause aims to create an encouraging space where women can share experiences, learn from each other, and leave with practical ideas and resources to support their wellbeing.

Whether you’re curious about strength training, looking for community support, or simply want to explore how movement can help during menopause, this event is for you.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Please note that each session is limited to 20 attendees!
