Functional strength
Squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry, mostly standing rather than sitting. The strength is meant to show up outside the gym. Strong is not extreme. It is sustainable, confident, and built over time.

Strength, mindfulness, balance, and mobility. Grace coaches people who want a body they can trust, at CityFitness in Newlands and online.
For menopause, joint health, recovery, wellbeing, and functional strength.
Squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry, mostly standing rather than sitting. The strength is meant to show up outside the gym. Strong is not extreme. It is sustainable, confident, and built over time.
Lasting strength starts with joint control. Tempo, single-leg work, anti-rotation, and progressions that look after the hips, shoulders, and spine. This matters if you are in menopause, coming back from an injury, or learning to trust your body again.
Breath and the nervous system are part of the session. You learn to breathe under load, drop tension you do not need, and stay with the work. When the body feels safe, it adapts.
In the gym with Grace, or on your own with a program. If your time or budget is different from these, say so. She will answer with something that fits.

About Grace
Grace disliked fitness when she was younger. Long-distance running changed that. After a marathon she moved into building muscle, and then into a way of training that keeps the strength and adds balance, mobility, and skill.
