GRACE: The New Framework for How Women Move Through Midlife

Make space | Hold your ground | Move with GRACE

The fitness world has been built around old models of exercise like F.I.T.T (Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type) — systems that don’t reflect the reality of women’s changing hormones, recovery, or priorities.

GRACE is the upgrade.
A new framework that helps women (and those who train them) approach movement with more nuance, adaptability, and purpose.

This presentation, Menopause is Having a Moment, introduces GRACE for the first time — and why it’s time to rethink how we train through midlife and beyond.

What Is GRACE?

GRACE stands for Grit, Regulate, Accumulate, Cardio, and Endurance.
It’s a practical way to plan movement that fits real life — not a strict program or one-size-fits-all formula.

GRACE shifts the focus from intensity to integration — helping women balance physical training, recovery, and nervous system regulation through every phase of midlife.

It can be used by individuals and trainers alike — a flexible framework, much like

FITT once was, but designed for where women are now.

Learn to Coach with GRACE — using the Menopause Training Matrix™ (MTM)

If you’re a fitness professional, the MTM Workshop and Practitioner Course help you apply GRACE in real-world settings.
You’ll learn to recognise menopause symptom patterns, adapt training accordingly, and confidently work with women through every stage of midlife.

You can complete the Practitioner Course online at your own pace — or bring it to life in the live MTM Workshop.

FAQs

Can I do the MTM Practitioner Course without going to the Workshop?

Yes, you can. The course gives you all the theory, science, and programming tools.
The Workshop adds the practical magic — connection, discussion, and those light-bulb moments that happen in the room.

When will the GRACE App be live?

I’m working on it right now — but these things take time. In the meantime, start using the ideas from the video in your own life.
Need more structure? The GRACE Beginner Toolkit will walk you through how to apply it straight away.

I’m not going through menopause (or never will) — is this still relevant?

Absolutely. GRACE is universal — a framework anyone can use to bring structure and self-awareness to movement.
It was designed for midlife women, and can adapt to whoever uses it.

What’s inside the GRACE Beginner Toolkit?

Five short videos (under an hour total) plus downloadable trainer and client versions of the protocol and a weekly planner — everything you need to start integrating GRACE today.

How does GRACE fit with MTM?


GRACE provides the structure for movement. The Menopause Training Matrix™ adds the context — helping trainers align programming with menopause symptoms and stages.

What makes GRACE different from FITT?

FITT tells you what to do.
GRACE helps you understand why and when to do it — adding recovery, regulation, and reflection to the mix.
