Is your tried and true exercise routine no longer working for you?
Do you want to lose weight, maintain bone and muscle
and safeguard your brain for your next chapter of life?
Are you ready to build and maintain your strength and power?
You've come to the right place! No matter where you are on your menopause transition, (peri, menopause or post), women need
- workout plans designed just for us
- the right foods for healthy brain, gut, muscles and bones
- nervous system regulation for better stress management, cortisol levels and sleep
- community & compassion
So many women today say they are craving community and want the accountability of meeting in person. I couldn't agree more! Unlike streaming programs that so many of us sign up for, yet never actually use, I'm combining streaming and in-person sessions. You can join the in-studio OR online option. Both include the 30 days of recordings in your inbox. I also really wanted to avoid sending folks to join yet another FB group. So you can connect within the streaming portal to comment and report your progress. Yay!

Hi there! I'm Kristin Jackson. Even though I have nearly 30 years experience as a Personal Trainer and Somatic Educator, I found myself just like a lot of women when I entered my menopause transition. Lousy sleep, weight gain, low energy, hot flashes, the list goes on. I was dismissed by my healthcare provider and told, "It's just the way things go at this age. Get use to it."
Wait. What!? Was I expected to live the next 30+ years in decline?
I just couldn't accept that. And neither are a lot of women our age. (Go GenXers! ;-) I wanted to feel better physically and mentally, so I tweaked my fitness routine + what I was eating, and voila, after just 30 days I had lost inches and was feeling more energized. I always prescribed to the belief that exercise is medicine, and it's never been truer for women in menopause and beyond!
Yes, it takes effort. I'm worth it. And so are you!
Let’s not enter into post-menopause thinking we have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. This is a time to celebrate! We are wise women. Let's live like it!

While exercise is requirement for healthy aging, as we age we need special attention to our sensory awareness, proprioception (where we are in space) and interoception (internal awareness) to get stronger, recover faster and prevent injury.

You could hobble together a routine from influencers and YouTube, but you could be getting ahead of yourself. The trending exercise routines for menopause transition are too much too soon for most women. Folks are setting themselves up for injuries, exhaustion (which actually raises cortisol levels) and falling further behind. Kristin will blend a variety of exercise protocols to provide you with results, safely and soundly:
Give Yourself 30 days!
Where will you be in the next 30 days? How will you feel? How about in 3 months? Or in a year? How about the next decade? We women are notorious for putting others first. Now is the time to flip that notion on its head! We need our strength and power to keep taking care of the ones we love, starting with ourselves! As our hormones drop the things we taken for granted, suddenly start seeming a harder to do. That's why it's so important to stay strong and powerful! Try this course and see how you feel. Side effects include:
* We are NOT measuring success with a scale in this course. You may very well lose weight, but that's not the goal as we age. For too long, too many women have judged themselves by the number on the scale. No more, Sista! We are training for better muscles, bones and brains, and that can come in a variety of sizes. In fact, if you or someone you know has dieted most of your life to fit in tiny pants, this is the time to eat enough and increase your muscle mass. You won't bulk up, but you will help preserve your bones. Falling with brittle bones is a recipe for disaster. Let's get strong and keep our power as we age!

do I have to attend the live classes?
It's recommended that you sign up for a course that meets in Kristins's studio or on Zoom to reap all the benefits, though it's not required.
Will the live classes be recorded?
Kristin will record the Zoom classes and they will be share with both studio and Zoom groups.
What equipment do I need for this course?
This course is designed to be easy to add to your life. No special exercise equipment required. Here are things you can use for some of the exercises in the routines.
- chair with flat seat, ideally with no arms, wheels or swivel
- counter top, table top, coffee table, ottoman
- large towel
- yoga mat, rug or mat
- sneakers or barefeet
- water to drink
- two hot mitts, wash rags, or gliders (optional)
- water bottles, hand weights (this is totally optional but if you want to up your workout, and have them, feel free to add them to the exercises when Kristin prompts you)
I'm not in good shape. can I take this course?
Kristin is the queen of modifications! She will offer options to make exercises easier or more challenging. If you need a lot of personalized attention, consider a private session or two to get you started before doing a group or streaming course. https://www.thinksomatics.com/private-sessions.html
Can I share this course with others?
No. One course purchase per household. Thank you!
If I Miss class can I get a refund?
There are no refunds or partial payments offered. Space is limited so please only register if you are ready to show up for yourself and the group! Remember, there will be a recording of the Zoom group class, and shared with both groups, so if you miss class you can catch it later! :-)
How long do I have access to the course?
Honestly, to say a course is available forever is not possible. You will have unlimited access to the course for as long as it's available. This means the end of the world could come or Kristin retire and runs off to Tahiti and the course would close. If there are changes you will be notified.
Will there be a special diet to go with this program?
Kristin is personal trainer, not a nutritionist or dietician. Prescribing a diet is outside her scope of practice (that goes for all personal trainers unless they have additional certifications/licences.) She will share recipes and information about healthy food choices, macronutrient suggestions for best muscle gain/weight loss to help you fuel your workouts and take care of your body, brain and gut as you age.
This sounds great! Does Kristin offer private menopausal Personal training?
Can I attend some of the Zoom classes and Studio classes?
No, sorry. Space is limited so there is no option to attend a mix of in-studio and Zoom classes.
Will this course be offered at other days and times in the future?
Yes! We all have our own personal schedules, so Kristin knows the current days may not fit your calendar. She feels strongly about training in person, so please reach out with your requests for future days and times.
Can I take this course even if I'm not in the menopause transition?
Absolutely! No matter what age you are, women need to get and stay strong. Too many women do cardio as their main exercise, lift light weights, or don't exercise at all. This course is designed to help women get stronger so they can work up to heavier lifting, which can help with metabolism and bone strength/preventing osteoporosis as we all age.) Heavy lift can also help women develop/maintain strength and power so they can function well throughout life, rather than rapidly decline after menopause. Whether you are pre-perimenopause, perimenopause, in menopause or way post menopause, this course can benefit you!
