Classes

There are a variety of online, face to face classes and workshops with peri and post menopausal women in mind.  What’s even better is it doesn’t matter if you don’t live in Worcestershire you will find a growing library of online workouts for you to try.  Simply head to my Members Area to find out what’s currently on offer.  

Whether you’re looking to feel stronger, more toned , improve your balance or simply learn how to use a new piece of equipment, they’ll be a class just right for you.  

You might be a woman who loathed PE, has never classed yourself as sporty and simply looking to enjoy playful movement, so it doesn’t feel like exercise at all.  You’ll always find a  supportive group of likeminded women who are ready to help motivate you, plus keep you accountable.  . 

As women over 40, we feel more nervous and less confident about trying new things.  The fitness industry can certainly make us feel inadequate or overwhelmed.  I’m here to inspire and empower you to feel more confident so that exercise is playful, fun and motivating.  I also want to help you realise that no matter what shape or size you are exercise is for everyone and it’s always welcoming and inclusive.  

We also love to share an outdoor experience together.  So far we have been paddle boarding, climbing, bungee fitness, wobble boarding and cold water swimming.  

Why not take a look at the classes and workshops on offer.

What people say?

I was really worried about signing up to the 'Stronger for longer membership' as I haven’t exercised in years. I am newly retired, over weight and didn’t want people to see me exercising. I love how the movements we learn can easily be integrated into your day. I now love getting out of bed every morning to try my balance challenge whilst brushing my teeth.

Course
I have been attending Rachel's Strength and Conditioning class now for almost a year and I absolutely love the classes. As a cyclist and runner I know the importance of strength training and what has been most noticeable is I used to have a shoulder injury and since doing these classes my injury has now completely gone. Thank you Rachel.

FAQ's

It depends on what type of class  or session you are looking at.  I offer a broad range of activities which caters for the complete beginner up to more experienced and fitter individuals.  All classes and activities will be given a level type it’s suitable for, but if you’re not sure then please get in touch. 

I have a range of cycling programmes on offer from the complete beginner to those who would like to take on a 100km bike ride.  For my zero to cycling hero programme it doesn’t matter what type of bike you have, in fact we would love it if you’ve just dusted off your bike and haven’t ridden it for years.  For the Sportdivas course you will need a hybrid with road tyres or a road bike. 

All of my guided walks are graded, as well as information about the distance.  My guided walks will vary from Easy to Moderate and Challenging or Strenuous. 

Our community is about supporting women together to enjoy walking together, so therefore we never leave anyone behind and will always walk at the pace of the slowest walker.  

If you’re not sure if the walk is the right level for you, then please get in touch, I’m always happy to chat on the phone.  

You don’t need any specialist equipment.  I never want equipment to be a barrier for you enjoying moving.  

In fact I would always encourage you to use things that you would most likely have at home.  

For any specialist workshops introducing you to a new piece of equipment then these will be included in the cost of the class.  

The face to face activities will vary in venue, especially the guided walks and the cycling programmes, as these tend to move around each week/month.  I often use Norton Parish Hall and my studio which is based in Malvern.  All activities will give you details about the venue location first.

Yes absolutely.  Most of my clients come to my studio but the beauty of personal coaching is it’s tailored for you and that includes the venue, so if you’d like 1:1 coaching at your home then please get in touch.  

That’s fine, let’s chat first.  All of my clients are screened before you take part in an activity, this is so I can get some more information about any injuries or previous medical history so that I can advise you accordingly and offer you the right support.

As with equipment, I never want kit or clothing to be a barrier for you.  In fact you can come join any of my online classes in your PJs if that suits.  

My guided walks take place all year round, so I will always advise you on a kit list on what to bring for each walk.  If there is anything you need and you’re not sure of, then charity shops, Facebook Marketplace or Vinted are a great place to search for these things.  

For my cycling programmes you just need to be in something your comfortable in.  I always want to help you find ways to normalise cycling, so that it’s not about the kit.
