What is the Thrive+ program?
Thrive+ is a 6-week personalised program designed to support you through menopause and perimenopause by combining:
✅ Weekly 1:1 coaching with Aaron to address movement issues and build strength around the symptoms you’re experiencing.
✅ Bi-weekly nutrition sessions with Katie (via Google Meet) to assess your current habits, help to balance blood sugar control and guide you towards sustainable change.
✅ A one-off consultation with Dr Reem (online or in person) to review your symptoms, provide expert advice, and (with your permission) liaise with your GP about any recommendations.
If medical treatment or blood work is needed, Dr Reem will provide expert input while your own GP can continue care locally — with added support from a menopause specialist.
What happens after the 6 weeks?
If you want to keep going — we’ve got options:
- Continue 1:1 coaching with Aaron under our regular PT plans
- Continue nutrition support with Katie on an ongoing basis
- Book follow-ups directly with Dr Reem whenever you choose (we’re happy to help facilitate if needed)
Don’t just take our word for it……. Real Stories from Real Women
Two of our lovely class members have already been through program and this is what they have to say…
Vicky
“This was an opportunity to really focus on where my body is at, and really see what it is capable of.
Focusing on building a strong core to get that depth in my squats and really engage my glutes. Which I then was able to transfer to every class.
It enabled me to grow in confidence in training and knowing my own body. Aaron’s knowledge of how the muscular system works always astounds me. He knows when and where to push you to get the results. He was always patient and genuinely wants you to progress in your fitness journey.
I finally feel able to gain control of my menopause symptoms rather than them controlling my life. Having the right support, understand and knowledge was key.
Reem was amazing. Her knowledge and understanding of Perimenopause and menopause is outstanding. She was really easy to talk to, and I really felt listened to. The appointment was invaluable. She liaised with my GP and was able to instigate a new treatment plan, which the GP will follow up.
During my appointment with Katie I was able to look at what I was already getting right with my nutrition and the small changes I needed to make to get it to a better place. With a focus on loosing fat and gaining muscle alongside the work I am putting in the gym.”
Katie
“I found the whole program really interesting. Reem was so easy to talk to and helped me understand so much about perimenopause.
The nutrition calls with Katie were really useful and focused on making small achievable habit changes that are sustainable to help work towards my goals.
Aaron is just a miracle worker! His knowledge of the body and everything working together is amazing. I now have an awareness of what muscles should be working and when and this awareness of my body is making all the difference to how I am moving when working out now and technique is so much better.”
