Build real strength, feel proud of your body and confident in your clothes again.
Just 30-minute sessions from your own living room, with someone showing you exactly what to do every step of the way.
No intimidating gyms, no guessing whether you’re doing it right, and no trying to keep up with a workout video that wasn’t designed for you.
Sound familiar?
This is for you if…
- You’re brand new to strength training, or it’s been so long you wouldn’t know where to start, and you’re sick of feeling like the only woman who hasn’t got a clue what she’s doing.
- You know you should be building muscle, but a gym full of grunting blokes and machines you’ve no idea how to use is a hard no.
- You’d love to see some definition in your arms and legs and LIKE how you look in your clothes again, but every class leaves you knackered and nothing changes.
- Everyone online says “lift heavy”, and you’re terrified of doing it wrong or putting your back out again.
- You’re getting up off the floor with a groan, carrying the shopping in two trips and wondering what the next 10 or 20 years look like.
You don’t need a gym, a garage full of equipment or a clue what you’re doing. That’s my job.
And it’s never too late: I coach women ranging from their 40s all the way into their 70s.
Picture it
Imagine this instead…
- You’re reaching for the sleeveless top instead of the cardigan, because you love how your arms look in photos.
- You carry the shopping in from the car in one trip. Five bags… not a problem, mate!
- You’re catching glimpses of muscle definition in your arms and legs that you haven’t seen in years.
- You get up out of a chair (or off the floor) without a second thought, building the strength to stay independent well into your 80s.
- Two or three 30-minute sessions a week are just part of your routine, like brushing your teeth, and you no longer have to keep summoning the motivation to start again.
Introducing
Bold Strength
As we get older, we naturally lose muscle and bone strength unless we do something to keep them. Suddenly jars won’t open, the stairs leave you puffed and a bit of gardening has your back complaining for days.
Bold Strength gives you your own private strength coach (me!), live in your living room, two or three times a week. Every session is tailored to your body, your ability and whatever equipment you’ve got, and I coach you through every movement, so you build real strength safely: the kind that keeps your bones strong, your joints happy and your metabolism firing.
So you can stop putting off strength training because you’re scared of doing it wrong (or think you’re too old to start), and start looking forward to seeing what your body can do.
What makes the difference
Why this works when classes haven’t
Training that fits your life
30 minutes, live, at home. All you need is a set of dumbbells, a kettlebell and a resistance band, and I’ll send you links to get them within your budget. If you have more equipment, great. We’ll make use of everything you’ve got.
A routine that fits your actual life, so you stop feeling guilty about the gym sessions you keep missing and start feeling proud of yourself for showing up.
Form you can trust
I watch every rep and coach your technique in real time, adapting exercises to your fitness and any niggles or injuries.
You stop worrying about hurting yourself and start feeling like a woman who knows her way around a pair of dumbbells.
Strength that keeps building
No two sessions are the same, and as you get stronger, I keep you progressing, even without a rack of heavier weights. Slower reps, pauses and some cheeky combos mean your dumbbells never stop challenging you.
You’re lifting weights that used to feel impossible, seeing more definition in your arms and legs, and too excited about your progress to get bored and quit.
Everything that’s included

Step by step
How it works
Stage 1
Get set up
Before your first session, you fill in a health questionnaire (PAR-Q) and tell me about your goals, any injuries or niggles and what equipment you’ve got. So that everything is tailored to you from the very first rep, and all you have to do is show up.
Stage 2
Learn the basics
We build the foundations: squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling and carrying, with your form coached on every rep. So that you go from not having a clue to confidently picking up a pair of dumbbells.
Stage 3
Get stronger and watch what your body can do
Every session is pitched at the right level for you, and I keep challenging you as you get stronger. So that you’re lifting weights that once felt impossible and building the strength to stay active and independent for decades.
Your coach
Hey, I’m Harri
I’m a personal trainer, nutritional therapist and former nurse, and I’ve been coaching exercise for 16 years. Yes, I used to run a CrossFit gym. But I learned the hard way that pushing yourself to exhaustion doesn’t do a midlife body any favours, so I moved to smarter strength training built around the individual. (And no, I won’t make you do handstand walks or muscle-ups!)
I’m in the thick of perimenopause myself, and strength training is what keeps me feeling capable when everything else is all over the place. What I love most is watching women realise they’re far stronger than they ever gave themselves credit for, at 45 or at 75. That’s why every session is built around YOUR body, your history and your niggles, so you get strong and stay strong for decades.
Most of my online clients are over 40, plenty are in their 50s, 60s and 70s. They’re lifting heavier, moving better and doing things they’d written off years ago, with every session built around their body. Some have trained with me for over 10 years, and they’re still getting stronger.

Good to know
Questions you might have
Am I too old to start?
Never. All of my online clients are over 40, many are in their 50s, 60s and 70s, and some have trained with me for over 10 years.
I’ve never done strength training. Is that OK?
Absolutely. We start with the basics and I coach your form on every rep.
I already lift. Is Bold Strength for me?
Yes. Bold Strength isn’t just for beginners. If you’ve been lifting for years, every session is built around your goals and I’ll keep you progressing.
What equipment do I need?
A set of dumbbells, a kettlebell and a resistance band. Haven’t got them? I’ll send you links for exactly what to get within your budget. Got more kit already? Brilliant, I’ll use it in your sessions.
I’ve got injuries or niggles. Can I still do this?
Yes. Your health questionnaire tells me what to work around, and I adapt every exercise to you and watch every rep.
Can I train with you in person?
Yes, in-person PT is available in Meadvale, Redhill. Just mention it on your application.
What if I miss a session?
Give me at least 12 hours’ notice and we’ll find another time to make it up.
How does billing work?
Your monthly payment covers four weeks of sessions. If there’s a fifth week in the month, those extra sessions are on me.
What happens after three months?
Keep training with me month to month, or move onto a bespoke training programme so you can keep building on your progress.
Can I try it first?
Yes, you can request a £30 taster session on the application form. This would be taken off any package if you sign up.
Ready to see what you’re really capable of?
Lift heavier, move better and feel bloody fabulous, with me coaching you every step of the way.
Fill in a short application with the days and times that suit you, and I’ll come back to you personally to find a slot that works. Once you’re in, I’ll send you a health questionnaire (PAR-Q) and we’ll get your first session in the diary.
