Training the Menopausal Client

10 February 2026

Overview:

Perimenopause and menopause mark one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman’s life. Hormonal shifts at this stage can profoundly affect body composition, metabolism, mood, and motivation.
This seminar helps trainers cut through the confusion by understanding how declining estrogen, altered cortisol response, and changing insulin sensitivity influence fat storage, muscle retention, and metabolic rate.

Trainers will learn how to create sustainable, evidence-based fat loss and training strategies tailored to this life phase—combining physiology with psychology to support their female clients’ transformation.

Key Outcomes for Personal Trainers:

• Understand the Hormonal Shift – Grasp how reduced estrogen and progesterone alter metabolism and fat distribution.

• Redefine Weight Loss Strategy – Design caloric deficits that preserve muscle and improve insulin sensitivity.

• Optimise Nutrition for Fat Loss & Recovery – Apply macronutrient timing and prioritisation to stabilise energy and mood.

• Coach with Context – Develop the empathy and communication skills to guide women through this life stage effectively.
  

Format:

• Duration: 1 full day of in-person education - either at MEFIT institute or a course held onsite 

• Delivery: Theory + Practical + Real Case Studies

• Who it’s for: Coaches who want to understand more about working with menopausal clients
