12-week structured Menopause Exercise Programme at IRIE Studio

The waitlist is open for our September programme! 

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. It can also bring up symptoms that don’t always feel easy to talk about in a typical fitness setting.

This is often a sign that your body needs a more tailored, supportive approach — and having the right guidance in place makes all the difference.


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.


12-week Menopause Strength Programme at IRIE Kilkenny

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.

Structure

This is a 12-week progressive programme from 14 September until 5 December, designed to support you through this stage with consistency and guidance.

We build gradually over the weeks — helping you develop strength, confidence, and a better understanding of your body, without overwhelm.

The group remains the same throughout the 3 months, creating a supportive and familiar environment.

Registration closes once the programme begins, ensuring a consistent and supportive group experience throughout. This programme runs only three times per year — in January, April, and September.

By the end of the 12 weeks, you can expect to feel

Stronger, more confident in your body, and clearer about how to support yourself through this stage — with a routine that feels manageable and sustainable.
