If you're a woman in your 40s or 50s and feel like your body has changed overnight, you're not alone. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause lead to muscle loss, slower metabolism, stubborn weight gain, and low energy. But the solution isn’t more cardio or stricter dieting—it’s smart, strength-based training. At Jensen Fitness in Calgary, our Menopause Coaching program is built around hormone-conscious strength training designed specifically for women navigating midlife changes. Whether you're new to weights or ready to train with purpose, we’ll help you feel strong, confident, and in control again. Contact us today to get started.

That’s not to say cardio is bad—but on its own, it doesn’t protect you from the changes happening in your body. Strength training, on the other hand, does.
At Jensen Fitness, we design hormone-smart training programs that do more than burn calories. We focus on what your body needs during this phase:
We’re not here to exhaust you, we’re here to empower you.

You’ll train smarter, not harder. No bootcamps. No injury risks. Just strength that supports your hormones and your life.
