Each week builds on the last, starting with “Flex Appeal”, focusing on muscle retention, followed by sessions that dive into the benefits of protein, the impact of menopause on bones, and how strength training can support mental health.

What’s special about this program is the personalized attention participants receive, including access to digital resources and a Q&A session with women’s health experts. Plus, the first five women to sign up get a free weighted vest—a great incentive to start the journey toward feeling stronger and more supported during a challenging time of life.
