What began as a few weeks of weight training sessions has grown and developed and, as of August 2025 is a Community Interest Company - a not-for-profit organisation in its own right.
This lovely, supportive community, lift weights together on zoom. Sometimes we get together in real life. We have self-directed classes too, and a membership scheme.

Exercising after a cancer diagnosis helps us on every level. My book 'Get your oomph back' contains a decade's worth of cancer rehab experience, with client stories (including my own) and exercise routines to help you get started.
And now the book has been brought to life, in the form of a self-guided course, coming soon.

My plan for self-care for everyone affected by cancer and menopause. It's how I am trying to take care of myself, and those in the community, as I navigate though the biggest transformation in my adult life. I'm sharing what I've learnt about managing menopause symptoms, including the impact of crash menopause as a direct result of cancer treatment and for those experiencing menopause after cancer.
