Yes — the programme is designed so you can start from zero. Everything is coached and scaled.

You’ll be coached personally by Geraldine Douglas – who has studied effects of Menopaus & strength training for Women over 40. She is experienced, relatable, supportive, and has probably gone through the same symptoms as what you are experience right now. 

Yes — strength training helps energy, sleep, bone density, metabolism and mood regulation.

This is NOT a high-impact workout. We build strength through smart, controlled movement — no jumping, no burpees.

No. You get stronger by starting, not by waiting. Every woman in the room starts at her own level.

Because women in midlife deserve a space designed for them — not shared with 25-year-old lads doing max reps.

Because this is small-group coaching,  we have limited availability - not a drop-in class. Quality > quantity.

It’s coached strength training inside CrossFit Metatron — but not CrossFit classes.. Not Hyrox either No intensity, no competition, no gymnastics.

Yes — MetaStrong members can upgrade if they wish to. MetaStrong is designed to go at your pace, not the other way around

Yes - A systematic review found that for post-menopausal women, resistance training at moderate intensity three times per week produced significantly better increases in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and femoral neck.

Absolutely. Strength training is one of the best ways to protect bone health after 40. Women who lift weights 2–3 times a week can increase bone density by up to 3% per year, while those who don’t can lose 1–2% annually.

That’s the difference between staying strong and independent — or becoming prone to fractures later in life.

100%. Studies show women aged 40–65 who strength train 2–3 times a week can increase strength by 25–50% within 12–16 weeks, no matter their starting point or menopausal stage.

You’re not “too old” — your body just needs the right kind of training, safely coached and consistently applied.

Yes. Strength training improves circulation, stabilises hormones, and reduces cortisol (your stress hormone).

In clinical studies, women who trained three times a week reported better sleep quality and 23% higher daily energy levels within eight weeks.

You’ll feel calmer, sleep deeper, and wake up more refreshed — not more tired.

Quite the opposite. Controlled, coached strength training reduces joint pain and stiffness by up to 40% in midlife women, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

You’ll move better because we build stability around your joints — no jumping, burpees, or high-impact moves.

Yes. Confidence grows when you feel capable. Women in one 12-week strength programme reported a 35% increase in body confidence — not from weight loss, but from what their bodies could do.

At MetaStrong, you’ll rediscover that feeling — strong, steady, and proud.
