HEALTH & FITNESS COACH
Building Strength in Fitness
I'm dedicated to strengthening women in midlife; peri-menopausal and post-menopausal. I help them build relevant and constructive exercise and fitness strategies, that not only serve them in their current stage, but also to help them optimise their future fitness.
With weekly Pilates, Yoga, Barre and Strength training small group classes, I offer unique and flexible Programmes that will inspire, and motivate. Alongside this, I give educational workshops and deliver the Menofit™ Programme. This covers many physical aspects that affect the Menopause transition. These empower women to stop operating from a place of fear, assisting them in their physical training and supporting their future health.
Menopause Health & Fitness Coach Christine Chapman
Now in my fourth decade of fitness training, I draw on a deep well of experience to support women in their strength and health journeys. With more than 25 years of teaching experience, I help women 35+ build strength, confidence, and lasting health strategies that allow them to thrive at every stage of life.
Why? Because the demands placed on women have never been greater, and many of the lifestyle and exercise approaches that once worked simply no longer deliver meaningful results.
By truly understanding both your challenges and your goals, we work together to create integrated workouts and movement practices that are functional, foundational and essential for protecting your health span, strength, and independence for the future.
MENOPAUSE FITNESS COACHING
I'm Christine, Hello
Originally from England, I have been living and teaching on the Zurich silver coast for the last 14 years.
I am a Personal Trainer, Womens health coach and creator of the first MenoFit™ coaching course for menopausal women here in Switzerland. I also give weekly Pilates, Yoga and functional training classes within the Physiotherapy Praxis Therasport.
Movement and sport have always been central to my life. With each passing decade, my goal has been to become fitter, stronger, and more capable than before. I love winter sports and summer trail running, but I also deeply respect the holistic nature of fitness and the moments when slowing down, reflecting, and changing direction is exactly what our health requires.
I specialise in strength training for women in midlife, carefully assessing their needs and creating programmes that challenge, support, and truly serve them.
SPECIALISING IN MENOPAUSE FITNESS COACHING
Why Menopause Coaching?
Peri-menopause and menopause are too often framed in negative terms, leaving many women feeling fearful and uncertain about what lies ahead.
As a peri-menopausal fitness professional, I noticed two powerful things: the unspoken pressure to “push through” this stage without support, and the quiet disappearance of women from classes and training spaces at a certain point, often due to injury.
Why does this happen? What choices do we really have? Women today are living and working longer, while juggling more responsibilities than ever.
The real question becomes: "How can we better understand the changes in our energy, bodies, movement, and wellbeing? How can we better adapt our approach to fitness with a supportive method that strengthens us through this significant life stage?
Become healthier, stronger, happier...

Here’s what women who have trained with me say:
About Private Yoga...
"I used to dislike yoga until I started attending Christine's sessions. She teaches in a fun yet challenging way, adapting the class to individual needs. I never thought I could achieve what she helped me learn. Her gentle and patient teaching style combines breathing, strength, flexibility, and relaxation. I feel centered and stronger after every session. Thanks to Christine, I now love yoga!"
DAHLIA. AGE 54
About Barre Classes...
"I absolutely love Christine's barre classes. She creates an environment that feels like you are live in person. The workout is a great mixture of barre, strength, and floor work. She always gives options for different fitness and strength levels. I attend twice a week and see big improvements in my fitness. The online format has been super convenient and makes it easy to be consistent. I really love it!"
CERYS, AGE 40
About Outdoor Sessions...
“Sunshine? Wind? Rain? Storm? Snow? - oh yes, we are outdoors! The benefits after the open air cocktail with Barre, functional and strength exercises and a bit of cardio: burning muscles, rosy cheeks, lungs full of fresh air and good mood. Loving it!"
