Struggling with mental health is something that others can't see. The internal battle that silently effects you and your ability to function. Its not easy to explain as you don't always understand yourself.

Others probably assume "they look ok" or "she must be feeling better as she's at the gym".

No obvious wound, fracture or cut can be seen so others assume your ok.

Mental health struggles look different for everyone. These are some of mine.

I mask, I pretend, I keep going, I smile and I'm exhausted.

You don't know what others are going through. Be kind always as not every struggle can be seen.

You don't always need to ADD more movement.

Already on your feet all day for work?

Already walking the dog?

Already getting your steps in?

You don't need to find another 30 minutes you don't have, make the movement you're already do work harder.

Try adding a weighted vest to your usual walk.

Same walk.
Same amount of time.
A little more challenge.

Because getting stronger doesn't always mean finding more time.

Sometimes it's about making better use of the time you've already got. 💪

Welcome to the perimenopause s**t show… with ADHD thrown into the mix.

What. A. Show.

It’s messy. Sweaty. Lonely. Life-questioning. Full of highs, lows and moments that are just completely s**tty.

I didn’t even want to go to the bloody show!

You don’t even know who you are anymore.
You question everything. Your life. Your job. Your identity.

You’re tired but wired.
Your brain is working overtime, but you can’t remember jack s**t.
You know doing something, a walk or movement will probably make you feel better… but actually getting yourself to start can feel impossible and completely overwhelming.

Your hormones are doing whatever the hell they want. Your patience has disappeared.
Someone chewing too loudly can make you want to punch them.
Things you loved yesterday suddenly annoy the life out of you today.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, you’re still trying to be a mum, hold down a job, keep the house running, remember appointments, school runs, buy the food, feed everyone… and somehow remember to look after yourself too.

And sometimes washing your hair feels like you’re about to run a bloody marathon.

Thank God for dry shampoo and slicked-back hair.

Does the show ever end or the s**t to stop!?

I’m not sure - yet.

But maybe we can stop trying to survive it alone.

More Than Exercise — the ME approach.

It’s about feeling a little stronger.
A little calmer.
A little more like you again.

Small steps.
More awareness.
More understanding.
And support that actually works around you, your life and your capacity.

The approach is from lived experience.

Because maybe it’s time to stop letting the s**t show run everything…

and make the show a little more about ME.

I’m running small-group fitness and 1:1 sessions, with support and check-ins built around real life — not some perfect routine you’re supposed to magically stick to.

Come and join the ME approach.

Get in touch if you want to know more.

I caught a moment I didn't think would happen.

My son was in the gym with me. It was a quiet space for him to watch his phone while I worked out.

I thought i would try and video some of my workout while it was quiet. I need the practice!

While I was trying to prop my phone up, I saw he had picked up the dumbells so left my phone filming.

He had a walk around the gym and tried another machine.

I'm so pleased I was filming and it just shows, that what we do and show our children has such a positive impact.

He's asked if we can do a weekly workout!!

"Of course we can!! I would love that"

I love the school holidays when clients children workout with their mums and get involved.

I had been thinking about family gym sessions. Inclusive slots for families in an exclusive space tailored to the needs of the family.

I understands the challenges of being a mum, juggling work and child care. I can work with you and what your family needs. I want to make fitness as accessible as possible for all families.

If a family gym session, in a space exclusive to you would be of interest, get in touch.

I don't really like transformation posts.

Because they usually focus on what you can see.

For me, the biggest transformation happened internally. Working with my body, noticing how I felt. Changing how I exercised.

I spent years thinking if I just train harder, do more cardio, burn more calories that my body shape will change and ill feel different.

In my late 30's I was putting on weight, constantly felt tired, anxious and overwhelmed. I was still trying to train harder. I was getting more frustrated with myself and felt like I was failing.

I realised perimenopause was kicking in and I had a period of really struggling. (Not really getting any help from doctors as i was told i was too young to be perimenopausal buts thats another story)

In 2024 aged 45, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Things then started to change. I saw things differently. I started therapy and worked on self awareness and whats important to me. Not me as a mum, wife, friend or employee. Me as Jenny. What do I need?

My approach is now very different. I strength train. Its focused, it clear and I love how it makes me feel. It builds strength both in body and mind, increases heart health, bone density, boost mood and confidence.

I now workout when I can. Somedays I trained harder and other days I choose a walk or sitting with a cup of tea. I now realise pushing harder isn't the answer. Listening to ME and my body, understanding my hormones, what capcity I have is my approach. This is my transformation.

This is the 'ME Approach' Its not a push harder approach. Its about you. We will work together to:

🤍 Understand your responsibilities
🤍 Understand you capcity
🤍 Understand your hormones and health
🤍 Understand what your body needs
🤍 Understand how movement will work for you

I'll meet you where you are and together we can discover what you need.

Slots are available in small groups and 1:1.

Get in touch for a chat or if you have any questions.

The More Than Exercise approach isn't one-size-fits-all.

Because life isn't one-size-fits-all either.

I take the time to understand you—your current responsibilities, your hormones, your mental and physical wellbeing, and what you need right now.

Together, we build awareness around when movement will enhance your life, rather than becoming another task on your to-do list.

We'll build strength and confidence in a way that works with your life, not against it.

Because exercise should support you—not become another burden.

Do you ever feel consumed by everyone else's needs?

Work.

Family.

Caring.

The endless mental load. Its overwhelming.

Somewhere along the way, you've lost yourself.

I know that feeling because I've lived it.

For years, I thought the answer was to push harder. Exercise became another thing to tick off, another expectation I put on myself.

What I've learnt is that movement isn't just about getting fitter.

It's about creating space to notice yourself again.

To ask:

*How am I today?*

*What do I need?*

*What feels possible?*

Sometimes that's strength training.

Sometimes it's a walk.

Sometimes it's stretching.

Sometimes it's rest.

That's why I'm building a programme that supports women to reconnect with themselves, one small step at a time.

Get intouch if this resonates.

For a long time, I thought I just needed to try harder.

Train harder.

Push through.

Keep going.

But the harder I pushed, the more disconnected I felt.

It wasn't until I stopped asking "What's wrong with me?" and started asking "What is my body trying to tell me?" that everything began to change.

I realised my body wasn't working against me.

It was asking me to listen... and to respond differently.

That journey completely changed the way I see exercise and why I created
More Than Exercise.

This isn't about doing more.

It's about understanding what you need and building movement around your life—not expecting your life to fit around exercise.

If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself while looking after everyone else, I hope this reminds you that you're not alone.

What's one thing your body has been trying to tell you lately?

Get in touch if your ready to try the more than exercise approach.

Its not one size fits all as life doesn't work like that and neither do we 🤍
