How does online coaching work?
When you think about working with a PT, you might picture a crowded gym, a bunch of machines that resemble Medieval torture devices, and someone standing next to you telling you “one more rep!”
That’s not necessarily an appealing scenario, so I prefer to do things a little differently.
The Ignite Program is like having a PT in your pocket – all the encouragement, accountability, programming expertise and guidance you get from an in-person experience, with the benefit of complete flexibility to work on your health and fitness whenever it suits you. We are busy women, and while you know you need to prioritise your own well-being – flexibility and genuine support are key to maintaining a healthy routine long term.
You can work out at home or at your local gym – or a combination of both – you just need your phone and a few key pieces of equipment to get started.

Your Coach
My name is Jess, I’m 41, just a regular wife, mum, runner, business owner and dog fanatic. I believe every woman should be equipped to lean in to this rather crazy stage of life and learn how to work with their body. Yep – what worked before doesn’t seem to work anymore. It can be frustrating… but you can be your strongest, healthiest and fittest self after 40 – and I’m here to tell you, it feels amazing!
I have been working with women for years, and I’m going through all the same struggles myself. There’s still plenty of insecurity and belly fat hiding under high-waisted activewear and nicely lit photos! But fitness in your 40s is about more than the scale or the mirror. It’s about confidence, how you feel in your body, what your body can DO for you.
And the long-term benefits are just as important. You don’t have to resign yourself to a depressing inevitable decline into dementia and frailty. Now is the time to embrace a new attitude and a new approach – don’t wait until you’re struggling up the stairs or unable to bring all the groceries inside in one trip.
This isn’t a journey you take alone. Join me and a community of women who want to make smart, practical choices to improve their health and longevity.
FAQ
Do I need a gym membership?
No! If you have access to a gym – that’s great. You can also train at home with either bodyweight exercises to start, or just a few simple weights you can buy for yourself.
What's the time commitment?
Two or three 30-45 minute strength sessions each week is ideal to build muscle mass. You should also allocate some time to cardio and mobility exercises.
How do I know what to do for the workouts?
Everything will be delivered within an app – videos, workouts and more. Each exercise has a corresponding video showing you the movement and the muscles you’re using.
Do I have to workout at a specific time?
Nope – you can do your training sessions whenever you like, and track your own individual progress in the app.
How do I track my progress?
The app has everything you need to do your workouts, track your lifting progress, record measurements, progress photos and more. You’ll also do a weekly check-in to make sure you have the support you need to see results.
How do I know if I'm doing the exercises correctly?
Safe and effective lifting comes from good form. Comprehensive videos are provided that I have filmed myself, explaining exactly how to do each movement. I am explaining all the same things I cover with clients face-to-face. Plus, your weekly check-in allows you to upload videos of your technique so I can provide direct feedback if you’re not sure.
What if I've never done a gym session before?
Gyms and strength exercises can be weird and intimidating! Even if you’ve never done a deadlift or heard of an Arnold press, you can still learn safe and effective strength movements working with an online coach.
What if I miss a workout?
Don’t worry! Life happens, and it’s not about going hard for a week and burning out. Consistency trumps intensity – this is just the start of building sustainable healthy habits.
Do I have to be 40+ to do this program?
Anyone can join – no entry criteria, no judgement! But the education and community side of things will be heavily targeted to women approaching or in perimenopause. The workouts are all custom design for your lifestyle and goals, regardless of age or gender.
Is there a minimum duration I have to sign up for?
The minimum subscription term for the Ignite Program is 6 weeks, which allows time to develop your program and take you through learning the exercises. After this time, your subscription continues until you cancel. No cancellation fees or notice periods – finish up whenever you decide.
IGNITE or SPARK? Which Online Coaching Program is Right for Me?
I offer two online training options, and there are two main differences between Ignite & Spark.
Spark is an introductory 12 week program with pre-set workouts and weekly perimenopause education to learn all about how (and why) to strength train, what’s happening to your body in perimenopause, and lots more.
Ignite is an on-going program with workouts designed specifically for you as an individual, and it evolves and adapts to your training and lifestyle changes as we go. You can also choose to purchase the perimenopause educational content from the Spark Program to support your training. This is particularly useful if you want to learn more about your body in this stage of life, but prefer a long-term and custom training approach.
