It's natural to feel overwhelmed if those around us appear to be moving mountains, while
we're struggling under a mountain of laundry. Managing work, family, friends and hormonal
changes can feel like a juggling act. There are so many demands on women's time and
energy, it's no wonder we feel tired, stressed or stuck.
Women's Fitness Over 40: Breaking Free from Comparison
It's so easy to get caught up in what other people are doing - how many miles they're
running, how many kilos they're lifting - and feel inadequate by comparison. But the truth is,
fitness doesn't need to be an all-or-nothing game. Finding balance means making
movement work for who and where you are right now.
You don't need to compare yourself to anyone, including a previous version of you. Life is
never a straight road but it's impossible to move forwards if we're always looking back and -
to really wring the final drop out of this metaphor - it's always easier to find the right path
when we focus on our own steering.
Seeing peers take on fitness challenges can make us feel our own efforts are inadequate.
We can tell ourselves that we need to work harder or that we need to do something bigger
or more dramatic for it to really count. Or we can tell ourselves there's no point in doing
anything at all, because exercise is for other people - people like them, not people like us.
Both feelings come from the same source: a belief that we are not worthy.
The Fitology Hub Approach to Women's Fitness Over 40
At Fitology Hub, we understand how much pressure women are under, which is why we’ve created our women’s-only gyms in South London that prioritize compassionate coaching, to help you feel stronger in yourself - inside and out - at a pace that suits you and your
body.
Sustainable progress: Building layers of sustainable habit is more effective than throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. We want to make coming to the gym as easy for you as possible. We centre gentle accountability and compassionate challenge because it works.
Mind-body connection: We begin every session with nervous system regulation breathwork, which turns the volume down in our brains (and on our inner critics) while deepening our mind-body connection.
No mirrors, no pressure: There are no mirrors here because we know that how our bodies feel and what they can do is so much more important than how they look.
Supportive strength training: Our incredible Fitology Hub Coaches will teach you the correct form and technique to ensure you can train safely, in a way that is challenging but never punishing.
You don't need to put everything else on hold to include exercise in your life and you
certainly don't need a wardrobe's worth of sweat-wicking lycra to come here. We want to support you wherever you are on your journey, because we know that movement brings joy and you deserve to feel it.
If we're always planning to make Big Life Changes, we can lose sight of all the small,
everyday changes that really matter. Progress doesn't need a grand stage to be valid and too much pressure can lead to emotional resistance that keeps us stuck. It's time to really listen to what our bodies need and where they want to take us. Sometimes, asking a little less of ourselves can end up giving us so much more.
