Menopause Programmes at IRIE Studio

At IRIE – The Joyful Movement Studio, we offer a specialised approach to exercise for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

Many women notice changes during this stage – lower energy, reduced strength, more stiffness, or simply that what used to work no longer works.

This is not a failure of your body.
It’s a sign that your body needs a different, more supportive approach to training.


Why Strength Training Matters

A smartly-designed strength training programme plays a key role during menopause. It can help to:

  • support metabolism and insulin sensitivity
  • maintain bone density
  • improve joint stability and reduce aches
  • support pelvic floor and core function
  • build overall strength and resilience

Training well during menopause is about more than lifting weights — and many women find it helpful to have a bit of guidance along the way.


Menopause Strength Programme

A small-group, coached programme designed to support women in a structured and sustainable way.

This is not a drop-in class, but a guided programme where we build strength progressively together.
