Online Coaching FAQS
Online coaching means you have ongoing support, guidance and accountability throughout the week, not just during a single 1 hour weekly workout session like you would with traditional personal training.
You’ll follow a fully personalised training programme inside the app, log your workouts and food (depending on your goal), and we’ll review your progress together on our weekly coaching calls.
You also have daily direct access to me for questions, feedback and support, so you’re never left figuring things out on your own.
I’m in my 40s/50s and feel like my body has completely changed. Can this still work for me?
Yes. In fact, the Accelerator is designed specifically for this stage of life. During perimenopause and menopause, changes in hormones can affect muscle mass, fat distribution, energy levels, sleep and recovery. The strategies that worked in your 20s and 30s often stop working.
Inside the programme we focus on strength training, protein intake, recovery and sustainable habits that support your body through this transition rather than fighting against it.
​
Many women tell me the biggest relief is finally understanding why things feel different and what actually works now.
I’m exhausted most of the time. How will I find the energy to exercise?
Feeling low on energy is incredibly common in midlife, particularly when sleep is disrupted and life is busy.
The goal of the programme is not to push you into exhausting workouts. Instead we focus on smart strength training and realistic routines that actually help improve energy levels over time.
​
Most women find that once they start building strength and improving their nutrition, their energy, mood and resilience gradually increase.
I’ve tried to lose weight before and it worked when I was younger, but now nothing seems to shift. Why?
This is one of the most common frustrations I hear.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause can affect muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, stress response and appetite signals, which means extreme dieting or lots of cardio often backfires.
The Accelerator focuses on the things that matter most now:
• Building muscle through strength training
• Eating enough protein
• Managing stress and recovery
• Creating habits that support metabolism
The aim is not quick fixes, but sustainable fat loss and feeling stronger in your body again.
Do I need to already be fit or confident in the gym?
Not at all.
Many women join having never done proper strength training before. Everything is explained clearly with exercise demonstrations and guidance.
​
Your programme is tailored to your starting point, whether that’s:
• gym-based training
• dumbbells at home
• or getting back into exercise after a break.
The focus is always on progressing safely and building confidence step by step.
What if I have aches, injuries or feel worried about hurting myself?
Strength training, when programmed properly, is actually one of the best ways to support joints, bones and long-term mobility.
​
Your programme is designed around your body, including any injuries or limitations, and we progress things gradually so you build strength safely.
​
Many women find that aches, back pain and joint discomfort actually improve as their strength increases.
​
Also we can run through any exercises that you are unsure of over Zoom – you’re also always welcome to ping over a quick video of you performing the exercise so I can check your form if that is something you are concerned about.
How much time do I realistically need each week?
Most women complete 3 strength sessions per week, typically around 35-50 minutes each.
​
Alongside that we encourage daily movement such as walking and simple lifestyle habits that support energy, sleep and metabolism.
​
The goal is not to take over your life, but to create a routine that fits alongside work, family and everything else you juggle.
I struggle with consistency. What if I lose motivation?
This is exactly where coaching helps.
Motivation naturally goes up and down. What makes the difference is having structure, accountability and support.
Inside the Accelerator you have:
• a clear training plan
• regular check-ins
• support when things go off track
• guidance when life gets busy.
Instead of starting and stopping, we focus on helping you stay consistent even during the messy weeks.
How often will we speak?
We’ll have weekly 1:1 coaching calls on Zoom, and you’ll also have ongoing daily contact throughout the week via messages and check-ins so you always feel supported.
What results can I expect?
Clients commonly report:
• Increased strength and muscle tone
• Improved energy levels
• Better sleep and recovery
• Reduced body fat and improved body composition
• Feeling more confident and in control of their health
Everyone’s starting point is different, but the aim is always sustainable progress that lasts beyond the programme.
​
How long do clients usually stay in the programme?
Many clients start with the initial coaching phase and then choose to continue because they enjoy the structure, accountability and ongoing support.
​
The goal isn’t just short-term results, but building long-term strength and healthy habits.
How is this different from a personal training session?
With traditional PT you get one hour of coaching per week.
​
With the MenoLift Accelerator you have support, structure and accountability across the entire week, which is why clients see much better long-term results.
