This member joined The Colony Health and Fitness with one clear goal — to feel stronger, healthier, and empowered as she approached her forties.
Like many women, she wanted to protect her long-term health by building strength, improving bone density, and feeling capable in her everyday life.
The Challenge
As women get older, it becomes more important than ever to maintain muscle and bone strength.
She recognised that strength training wasn’t just about looking good — it was about feeling strong, confident, and ready for anything life throws at her.
Why She Nearly Didn't Start
The weights area can feel intimidating, especially for women starting out.
But with the support of our coaches and the friendly atmosphere at The Colony, she quickly found her confidence — and even a bit of attitude!
The Turning Point
Once she realised what her body could do, everything changed.
Training became a source of pride — a reminder that she’s not just keeping herself fit, but becoming a role model of strength and resilience for her family.
She jokes that she can now “deadlift a child — my child!”
The Results
Since joining, she’s achieved:
✅ Improved strength and bone density
✅ Greater confidence and energy
✅ A mindset shift — feeling powerful and proud of what her body can do
✅ A sense of empowerment that goes far beyond the gym
Here’s what she had to say:
“When you’re on the right side of 40 as a woman, it’s really important — bone strength, density, all that kind of thing. And just being, you know, a woman to be feared. I am woman, hear me roar. I am strong. I can deadlift a child — my child!”
