Are you a woman over 35 ?
Wanting to work out but juggling too many plates?
Feeling tired but wired?
No energy and hormones haywire?
Feeling a stranger to your body?
Or maybe your fitness Mojo has just left the room...
Perhaps you’ve tried different classes, online programmes, the works, but you soon lose your motivation and give up?
Well I hear you.
When I hit my 40s, it was like someone flicked the dimmer switch on my energy levels.
My Va Va Voom just vamooshed. I lost my motivation, felt sluggish and and just not myself.
Sound familiar?
My usual running regime stopped working and I was getting more aches and pains. My Pilates still did it for me, but my cardio workouts just bothered my body more. As my hormones shifted, my weight was creeping up, which bugged me, as a family history of diabetes was starting to loom large.
That wasn’t the future I wanted for me or my family.
So I knew I had to try something different.
I had a go at some free online workouts but there was no personal connection, not even a health check, so I soon lost confidence in the programme…
…and gave up.
I thought I’d try something different, so I signed up with a well known fitness celebrity, but felt I couldn’t relate to her gruelling exercise regime – how did she do it all?
I was already feeling tired but wired, so without a showbiz chef or nanny around, there was no way I could keep up with those endless celebrity star jumps and burpees
And…you guessed it, I gave up.
So I joined a local Bootcamp, but it felt like I was punishing my body. The thrash metal and testosterone fuelled atmosphere left me fired up and sleepless; the tyre pushes and rope work were wrecking my joints.
So yup. I gave that up as well.
Maybe you’re starting to recognise a pattern that is familiar to you too?
I’d got to a stage in life where battling for ‘a ripped body’ was a real turn off.
I was tired of striving for perfection defined by marketing moguls and social stereotypes.
Frankly, I was sick of that s***.
Maybe you feel that way too?
You want to sweat, you want to be challenged and feel good right?
But you want to do it all in a way which makes your precious vessel of a body feel happy.
You want the ‘glow’ but not the ‘gruel’ right?
Well that’s how I felt too, and I knew a lot of my girlfriends and clients did as well.
I felt that we need MORE.
I felt that we (and you!) deserve MORE.
Especially when you start looking at the stats for women’s health after menopause.
Did you know that in the UK alone, 3.5 million women are living with a heart or circulatory disease, with 24,000 women dying from coronary heart disease each year in the UK.
That’s about 65 women a day. In the UK.
The hormonal changes which women experience in menopause don’t only affect heart health.
In England and Wales, 1 in 3 women will sustain one or more osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime.
And the impact on women’s mortaility is real: for example, if a hip fracture is not addressed with surgery, the one year mortality rate is about 70%.
It’s harsh to read I know, but how transformational could it be for women in their 40s (and earlier!) if they were given the knowledge and tools to reduce these risks and have better health outcomes in the future, as well as feeling better in the here and now?
This conviction put real fire in my belly:I had to learn more so I could help not only myself but all those amazing women like you out there, so we don’t just become another statistic.
So, after searching for the best training in Peri-Menopause Coaching, I signed up for the phenemonal 3rd Age programme with female fitness guru Jenny Burrell and Women’s Health Physio extraordinaire Michelle Lyons.
And their training went deep, really deep.
It delved into the science and evidence behind which movement, nutritional and mindset strategies got the best health and fitness outcomes for women through peri-menopause and beyond.
I then added even more training and qualified as a Menofit™ instructor with Rachel Holmes, the well known fitness presenter.
Once I graduated, I collated all this knowledge, added my 18 years’ experience of training women in fitness, to create online and in person training programmes that really work for the mid life woman.
Menofit™ with Jules is an online membership which gives you all the fitness, nutrition and mindset essentials you need, so you can feel
- fitter;
- more balanced and happy;
- heart healthier;
- good to your bones;
- more comfortable in your clothes.
“Training with Jules has changed my life! Since I joined online in January, I have gained strength, body confidence and I am much better prepared for my stage in life (Menopause!).
I have gained health tips, sleep tips and advice on nutrition that is tailored to my needs.
I feel much more comfortable in my own skin and able to make guilt free good life choices.
I have nothing but huge thanks for having the opportunity to train with such an inspirational coach as Julia.
Join now – you won’t regret it!”
Jane Shannon, Devon
“I absolutely love my online Pilates sessions via zoom or catchup.
To be perfectly honest, I didn’t think I’d like doing the sessions on zoom as BUT I absolutely love the flexibility.

She’s certainly helped me find my Mojo.“
Jo Watts, Hampshire

I feel part of a community but with all the benefits of a personal trainer – and it works!“
