Managing Menopause
Menopausal symptoms can quickly feel like they take control of your life - but there is a proven remedy to be found in strength training.
Menopause Doesn’t Have To Slow You Down…
You’re Not Going Through It Alone
One in four Australian women aged 45–64 report menopause-type symptoms that make everyday activities difficult.
Yet less than 15% of Australian women engage in the strength and conditioning training that can positively impact these symptoms.
It’s More Than A Hot Flush
Changing hormone levels during menopause can affect:
-Muscle mass and strength
-Bone density
-Body composition
-Sleep and energy
-Mood and mental wellbeing
-Joint and muscle health
-Cardiovascular health
You Can Take Back Control
Strength training is one of the most valuable tools you can use to support your body through menopause — and set yourself up for decades of independence and improved quality of life.

Absolute isn’t just a gym. We approach your health with a holistic view of everything you need to thrive through menopause and beyond.
Age with strength. Not limitation.
Menopause is a major transition — but it doesn't have to mean accepting feeling tired, weaker, less confident or disconnected from your body.
For many women, this stage brings changes to sleep, mood, body composition, muscle, joints and bone health.
The good news? You have more influence over how you navigate these changes than you may think.
Why Strength Training Through Menopause?
As oestrogen levels change, maintaining muscle and bone becomes increasingly important.
Strength training gives your body a reason to adapt.
-
Muscle is your body's metabolic engine. Maintaining it supports healthy body composition, physical function, balance, and independence as you age.
-
Loading your bones through resistance training and impact work will help maintain and improve bone mineral density — particularly important as your bone loss accelerates around menopause.
-
Being stronger makes everyday life easier — carrying groceries, lifting your suitcase, getting up from the floor, playing with your grandchildren, or simply feeling capable in your own body.
-
Regular exercise can help with sleep disruption, improve mood, increase energy and general wellbeing, all while contributing to a healthier, more resilient body.
