My name is Emma Dove and I have recently opened my bespoke personal training studio in Brentwood.

It is never too late for fitness to improve your life. We all know that age is just a number and women need to remain fit and strong, mentally and physically for their whole lives. Women are Working longer and on top of that most of us also have varying degrees of family commitments; trying to juggle our time with partners, children and grandchildren and still performing well in the workplace can sometimes feel exhausting.

So now is the time to have a little bit of time just for ourselves to work hard in a different way to make ourselves feel revived, working out in an environment that is not intimidating.

This is not about having a perfect size 10 body. This is about being and feeling the best that we can - regaining the confidence that is sometimes lost during the peri menopause and menopause.

This is our time to feel good about ourselves, whether that is improving our posture, gaining physical and mental strength, feeling more motivated, having more energy or just feeling happier.
