Fitness after 40 needs a different conversation.

Hi, I'm Katie

For over 15 years, I’ve coached women through fitness, nutrition, body transformations and confidence building.

Along the way, I realised women over 40 were being underserved, undereducated and massively misunderstood when it came to hormones, health, recovery and body composition.

I created Fit After 40 to change that.

THIS DIDN’T START WITH PERIMENOPAUSE.

Before “Fit After 40”, many women knew me for body transformation coaching, my signature 'Bikini Programme' and helping women feel stronger, leaner and more confident in themselves.

I spent years coaching women through:

Fat loss

Strength training

body composition

Nutrition

Confidence building

Sustainable fitness

And I loved it.

Watching women reconnect with themselves physically and mentally through exercise, has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Over time, I started noticing a pattern.

Women in their 40s were struggling in ways that traditional fitness advice simply wasn’t addressing.

Their bodies weren’t responding the same way and they had to work much harder to get results.

Energy changed.
Recovery changed.
Sleep changed.
Stress tolerance changed.
Confidence in what worked changed.

Yet most women were still advised to:
“eat less”
“train harder”
“be more disciplined”
or simply accept feeling rubbish as part of getting older.

And honestly?
That never sat right with me.

THEN IT BECAME PERSONAL.

After having two babies in my 40s, I found myself navigating a level of exhaustion, hormonal change and physical shift that didn’t fully make sense.

As someone who had worked in fitness and nutrition for years and all ready a mother, I knew my body well.

Yet this felt different.

I wasn’t looking for sympathy.
I was looking for answers.

The conversations around perimenopause felt vague, incomplete and heavily focused on simply “getting through it.”

I wanted to properly understand:

• What was happening physiologically.

• Why women suddenly felt unlike themselves.

• Why body composition changed.

• Why recovery became harder.

• Why sleep, mood, anxiety and energy could suddenly shift so dramatically.

And more importantly:


What women could actually DO about it.

So I went all in.

I expanded my education in menopause, menopause nutrition, gut health, hormones, recovery and long-term health optimisation for women over 40.

Because the truth is:
Women deserve far more support than they’re currently getting.

THIS IS WHAT FIT AFTER 40 IS REALLY ABOUT.

This isn’t about “anti-ageing”.

And it’s not about chasing perfection either.

It’s about helping women understand their bodies properly, so they can feel stronger, healthier and themselves again.

Because women over 40 deserve more.

Most are still:

• Building careers

• Raising families

• Managing homes

• Supporting everyone else

• Carrying huge mental loads

AND

Trying to follow their own ambitions and sustain confidence and energy, whilst their hormones quietly start rewriting the rules underneath them.

That deserves better support.

My coaching now combines:

• Evidence-based fitness

• Hormone-aware nutrition

• Menopause-informed lifestyle support

• Body composition expertise

* Recovery strategies

• Strength and longevity focused training

• Realistic coaching for real life

Women over 40 don't need more punishing plans.

They need properly informed support and a coach that gets it.

What Koach Katie stands for

  • REAL LIFE

    My approach is designed for women with full lives, responsibilities, ambitions and goals. This is not about stepping away from life. It’s about feeling great while living it.

  • EDUCATION

    I believe women deserve clarity and understanding around hormones, their management options, energy, recovery and wellbeing, so they can make informed decisions about their health and future.

  • SUPPORT

    No woman should feel isolated or left trying to navigate hormonal change alone. Community, accountability and connection are a huge part of the journey.

  • FUTURE SELF

    This chapter is about creating a future where you feel strong, capable, energised and fully connected to yourself.

DON'T NAVIGATE THIS CHAPTER ALONE.

Whether you are:

• Struggling with energy

• Frustrated with body composition changes

• Feeling flat, anxious or unlike yourself

• Trying to rebuild consistency

• or simply wanting to better support your long-term health

There is another way to approach this phase of life.

The goal is to understand your body well enough to support it properly, then change follows easily.
