Strength Training for Peri to Post Menopause is a specialized class designed by Dr. Erin Calandra, Doctor of Physical Therapy, specifically for women navigating hormonal changes. As estrogen and progesterone decline, your body changes. Joints become more vulnerable to breakdown, muscle mass decreases, bone density declines, and inflammation increases. But this isn't inevitable decline—it's a transition that requires intelligent, targeted movement. This class focuses on protecting and strengthening the joints most at risk during menopause: hips, knees, shoulders, and spine. Using evidence-based exercises, we build supportive strength, improve joint stability, enhance bone density, and teach movement patterns that keep you strong and mobile for decades to come. Perfect for every level. Whether you're new to strength training or have been lifting for years, each exercise can be modified or progressed in class to match your current abilities and goals. This is personalized strength training in a supportive group setting. You don't have to accept weakness, pain, or limitation as inevitable parts of aging. Your body is capable of getting stronger—it just needs the right approach.Designed specifically for folks who are tired of feeling stiff, achy, and sluggish, but traditional fitness classes do not spark joy.  This gentle, low-impact class helps you reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive - not stressful. Led by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who loves to dance and move to groovy music in any way our bodies will allow. 

No judgment. No experience needed.

Just come as you are, and leave feeling better in your bones.
