I’m Rachel and welcome to the RJ Fitness and Coaching community based in Malvern and Worcester, Worcestershire. I inspire and empower women over 40 to be playful and curious with movement. We also share outdoor activities, challenges and adventures together, through walking, running and cycling. If you’re a woman over 40 in Worcestershire who has always found PE or sport uninspiring or unfriendly, then you’ve come to the right place. Here you will find fun, friendly, welcoming ways to be playful and curious with natural movement. Together we will help you find ways to enjoy moving, beyond the typical exercise class or gym. So whether you are looking for an online or face to face class, activity or programme, indoors or outdoors, we’ve got it all covered. Why not share one of our small women only group walks on the Malvern Hills, or maybe you’d like to try a beginners cycling or running programme. Our stronger for longer cub were certainly give you plenty of natural movement ideas to help you fill your lifestyle with easy to do movement snacks. I also have a private studio in Malvern, where I run all of my personal training and small group strength and conditioning classes from. I have over 15 years of successful experience, working with all ages. You’ll find a community of likeminded women here. We all love a good chat, enjoy being outdoors, being sociable, spending time together and there will often be tea and cake too. Experienced, passionate, nurturing and full of creative ideas, I can guarantee you a personalised approach whatever your goal.I’ll also make sure we have some fun along
Welcome to November 2024. Thank you for visiting my website.
What a wonderful year we’ve shared so far together. We’ve been walking the Cotswold Way in sections (one section a month), launched a new stronger for longer club and inspired women to take on their first 50-100km bike rides.
We’ve shared women only walking holidays on Dartmoor and in Wales. Many of my small group women only walks and holidays sell out on my VIP Newsletter. So if you want to be the first to hear about events, programmes and activities, grab an early bird discount or get exclusive access to FREE webinars, holidays and challenges then I always recommend that you sign up to my VIP Newsletter (at the bottom of the Contact page).
I’m sure you will find something just for you, so why not grab a cuppa, have a browse on my website or better still come and join this growing community of peri and menopausal women in Worcestershire.

Cycling has been a big passion of mine from a very early age. I understand what it’s like to be a true beginner. Feeling unconfident with my skills on a bike and lacking knowledge on how to look after my bike.
It has helped me keep fit, lose weight, discover new places and make amazing friends. But most of all I just love the freedom it gives you, how it makes you feel, giving you the headspace that is often needed in our busy world.
So if you’re new to cycling, would like to brush up on some cycle skills, want to know how to fix a puncture or clean your bike then keep an eye on my cycling events page. And if you are looking for a more tailored approach, maybe you’re training for a specific event or need a specific cycling plan then reach out to me, as I’d love to help you on your cycling journey.
My led walks always provide you with an opportunity to discover new places, enjoy being outdoors and all the many benefits you get from the fresh air and nature.
A walk is always so much more than just a walk. It’s connecting with others, being out in nature and giving yourself time knowing that you are being looked after on a well planned and enjoyable route.
There are a range of walks on offer and we walk at the pace of the slowest walker, so no one ever gets left behind.
I currently offer two weekly online classes, as well as monthly pop up face to face classes.
‘Stronger for longer club’ launched in March 2024. It’s aim is to help you break away from the normal exercise routine and find playful and fun ways to move throughout your day. There is growing library of short 15 mins workouts for you to choose from.
Throughout the year I also run a number of online and face to face challenges and workshops. This is to help inspire and motivate you to enjoy moving and see that exercise can easily be incorporated into your daily life.
My aim is to help you feel more confident, improve your mindset, have fun, ultimately helping you to become a fitter, healthier, stronger and happier woman.
Whether you’re a regular cyclist or runner and looking for creative ways to improve your strength or you’re new to exercise and looking for fun ways to enjoy it. I’m sure you will find the perfect place for you to start.
Why not take a look at what’s on offer.
I specialize in women over 40 with a passion for inspiring and empowering you to be playful and curious with movement, finding the things you love, without it feeling like a chore. We often play in class, have fun together outdoors and enjoy discovering new places together.
