Your Training. Your Story
Evolving Your Fitness Journey through Menopause and Beyond
As women, our fitness needs evolve as we age. Fitness over 40 isn't about doing more - it's about doing what matters more.
I’m Christine Chapman, a Menopause Health and Fitness coach, and I am dedicated to improving women's fitness and health in midlife. By identifying the most age related elements of fitness, health and wellness, I offer intelligent support for women, allowing them to discover what their body needs now, and help them move forward with confidence.
MEET CHRISTINE
I’m Christine. I’ve been evolving with fitness for nearly three deacdes.
Soon approaching my fourth decade of fitness training, and with 25+ years of teaching experience, I draw on a deep well of knowledge to support women in their strength and health journeys.
My own relationship with fitness has changed as I have aged, from bodybuilding to trail running and ultra marathons. Now I am older, my method is grounded firmly in Pilates, Reformer, Mobility and Mental wellness.
I also deeply respect the holistic nature of fitness and the moments when slowing down, reflecting, and changing direction is exactly what the body and mind need. Readiness for the next stage also means calm, rest and nourishment.
This is what's behind my passion to keep women well in midlife, from perimenopause onwards. We were never prepared for this midlife stage, and over the years, I have seen women struggle with pain or joint issues, weight gain, insomnia, and other Menopause related symptoms. Because I wanted them to thrive, I created the MenoFit™ coaching courses - three relevant and functional training offers for menopausal women.
You're doing the right things. So what are you missing?
You could be strength training, walking and tracking steps, but the sleep is off. You could be experiencing ongoing joint pain that's restricting movement. Hormone therapy is not an option due to surgically induced early menopause. You are frustrated about the lack of progress yet confused about what's next and what is right for you personally. You're looking for an overall strategy, so can move into this midlife stage with
confidence.
That's where I come in. My intention is to help you keep muscle after 40, improve metabolic health, stay cognitively fit, and remain independently fit for as long as possible.

Ways to work with me
MenoFit™ Programmes
MenoFit™ is my personalised approach to fitness and wellness through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.
We start with you - where you are now, what you’re already doing, what you’re experiencing and what you want the next stage of your life to look and feel like.
From there, we work out what needs to change, what can stay, and what might be missing, bringing together the right combination of strength, mobility, activity, and menopause specific support for you.
There are three levels of MenoFit™ support depending on how much guidance you need.
Pilates - Therapeutic and Fitness Pilates
I offer a contemporary approach to Pilates both on the mat and the Reformer. Therapeutic Pilates allows us to build strength without strain; improve mobility without risk; and re-train incorrect movement patterns or mis-alignment. Fitness Reformer Pilates offers a more athletic, full body energizing workout with dynamic flows, heavier springs - challenging yet joint friendly.

Hire Me
Bring menopause expertise into your workplace, retreat or event.
There is a shift from hiding Menopause to engineering it and making the second half of life for Menopausal women in the workplace AND their employers, enjoyable and productive.
It is not enough to only recognise that Menopause affects women everywhere, but to create, establish and manage programmes that help individuals with their own personal symptoms - anxiety, sleep disturbance, joint pain, mental fatigue.
By invitation, I present to your Company, or your retreat Co host practical options that are measurable and supportive to women's neuro, physical and brain health.
Here’s what women who have trained with me say:
About Therapeutic Pilates Reformer
“I slept so well. Honestly my back... I slept so well after such a long time. The surrounding area is so much better, I woke up not feeling like a wooden person and it has been such a long time! It had such an impact and was such gentle exercise, like a self-massage. I felt amazing. It didn’t feel hard like many exercises. I feel so great. Thank you so much.”
Zdenka (Perimenopause)
About Group Mat Pilates
"Christine chooses the best, relaxing, and most effective workouts. These never get boring as she always introduces new exercises! It doesn’t get better than working out with a good group vibe. Christine really is the best!"

About One to One Pilates
"I used to dislike Pilates 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 pilates!"
