HOW DOES IT ALL WORK AT MENOPAUSE HEALTH & FITNESS?
I work with women in all stages of menopause in any (or all!) of 5 ways:
6 Week Health RESET Program
Private, Personal Coaching & Training Sessions
Timetabled Small Group Fitness Training Sessions
Cooking Classes
Immersive Retreats on the Sunshine Coast
To join my 6 Week Health RESET program, for Private, Personal Coaching Sessions and for Small Group Fitness Sessions, please contact me directly so that I can arrange an initial face-to-face meeting with you to discuss your needs and how I can best support you.
It’s really important that I chat with you personally and that you get to meet me too! You can reach me via my email or mobile 0422047864.
At the outset, I recommend that all women start with my Special Introductory Offer - it’s really important that we spend time together privately so that I can assess how I can best support you moving forward, give you guidance immediately and on-refer within my network of Allied Practitioners, if that is the best-fit for you and your very personal health needs.
I run Cooking Classes every two months, with a focus on Menopause friendly recipes - I will show you how to create amazingly tasty eats that will not wreak hormonal havoc on your body or havoc on your household! I have been Cooking commercially for over 25 years and I will also share with you the tricks of the trade and where I source the best produce in Brisbane from.
WHY SHOULD I WORK WITH NAT EVANS, HEALTH COACH?
Given what’s happening in the World, now, more than ever, you need a professional guide to support your physical and mental health. Most importantly, you need a female health professional who understands every aspect of Menopause - who can not only talk hormones, but who can educate you on what food and movement is going to the tick the box for you on this journey.
Ladies, there’s a reason that up to 87% of people who join a gym never return to that gym after the first visit, and then within 5 months, 80% of that remaining 13%, quit.
No matter our endeavours in life, we all need support, coaching and mentoring, and Health and Fitness is no different. Most importantly, we need that support to be personal, individualised and appropriate to our stage of life.
I am a woman, Post-Menopause - I know what you are going through and I know how to support you.
ISN’T PERSONAL TRAINING & HEALTH COACHING EXPENSIVE?
I am a dedicated Health professional with years of experience and International qualifications under my belt - I am forward thinking and I move ahead of the pack, consistently. Not only am I a Movement specialist, but I am a CHANGE expert, Nutrition guide and Certified Health Coach.
Given my wealth of knowledge and my absolute passion for helping people, NO, my private, personal training or coaching sessions are not expensive. I don't just mindlessly run my clients through sets and reps in the vain hope that they will see change - I coach each and every one of my clients on all areas of Health and Fitness and I share with them the knowledge and skills they need for an active, adventurous and health-full life. If you want TRUE HEALTH, I will MAKE IT HAPPEN - PRICELESS!
AM I FIT ENOUGH?
All of my Small Group Training sessions are fully inclusive and alternative movements are always on offer, so yes, you are fit enough! However, before you start out, I'll take some time to get to know you a little better (you will need to complete a Pre-Activity Questionnaire, Pelvic Floor Health Questionnaire & Initial Assessment Questionnaire) so that I can guide you to the session styles that are going to work best for you, and help you achieve your very personal Health & Fitness goals.
The beauty of my in-house programming is that I can cater for everyone - I don't bang out choreographed routines that discriminate, rather I acknowledge that each and everyone one of my clients is unique and their needs, abilities and skill levels will differ accordingly.
All of my 1-on-1 Personal Training sessions are programmed specifically for the individual client - no "cookie cutter" here! So again, yes, you are fit enough, because your session is all about you and I will cater for your needs, right now!
HOW CAN I BOOK A SPOT AT A GROUP TRAINING SESSION?
Please contact me directly and we can chat about where you’re at and then work out what the best-fit sessions are going to be for you!
ABOUT THE SMALL GROUP TRAINING SESSIONS?
All of the Group Sessions are programmed with a strong emphasis on functional movement, interval training and my belief in "movement exposure" which means training your body to move efficiently across all planes of motion - forwards, backwards, side-to-side, twisting, rotating & turning, jumping and balancing.
Unlike other Group Training Programs out there that are park-based or have aggressive time-based performance targets or non-stop "cortisol" heightening/stress loading outcomes, my Sessions are absolutely inclusive and provide an exercise modality for all participants, at all levels of fitness, in a completely non-threatening, welcoming and personal environment - I want you to feel at home from the moment you walk in the door!
I keep the numbers small at each Session so that I can give as much attention as needed to each and every participant - forget a mass of bodies & no-one knowing your name. I seriously put the "personal" into Training and make sure that I get to know you, what you like, what you love, what you may not be fond of and what really makes you tick. That way, I can ensure that you get what you need at each and every session.
WHAT TYPE OF EXERCISE DO THE GROUP TRAINING SESSIONS INVOLVE?
The sessions are 45 minutes to 1 hour in duration and my programming ensures that you are exposed to movement across all planes, preparing you for whatever life is going to throw your way - this is FUNCTIONAL TRAINING at it's best!
At all of the sessions, you will be exposed to a variety of exercises, using your body the way it is meant to be used. Because I program in-house and make it a priority to get to know all of my clients personally, I have the ability to scale the load and intensity of the exercises performed and to offer appropriate alternatives as needed.
Menopause Health & Fitness is not machine-based - all of the Sessions are driven by my belief in exposing individuals to lots of different movements - please note, the Sessions can incorporate the use of kettlebells, dumbbells, ViPR's, reaction systems, sandbells, balls, balloons, hoops and BIG TIME FUN!
AM I FIT ENOUGH TO ATTEND THE GROUP TRAINING SESSIONS?
I work with clients at all levels of fitness, from those new to exercise right through to those training for elite athletic competitions. You will be motivated and encouraged based on your current level of fitness and all that I ask is that you give your best effort at each and every training session and that you let me know when something isn’t working for you.
All of the Group Training Sessions are inclusive which means I work with people at all levels of fitness and design the sessions to allow attendees to go at their own pace. Where there are health concerns, injuries or issues, I am more than happy to give alternative instructions and accommodate as best as I can, as long as there are no contraindications to participating in the session.
DO I NEED SOME MINIMUM LEVEL OF FITNESS?
As long as there are no medical or pain contraindications to exercise, no, let's just get you started!
I will chat at length with you before your first session about your current health and fitness and I will tailor the sessions to your ability and your level of fitness.
HOW HARD ARE GROUP TRAINING SESSIONS?
I’m not going to lie - the sessions are designed to get you moving like you've never moved before! That's why I see incredible results for all of the clients who stick with me.
In saying that, all of the classes are structured so that I am working with you to build a strong foundation to the movements I expose you to and I ensure that you are working at your own pace.
I will assess your capacity from session to session and I will be honest in letting you know if you need to connect with an Allied Health Professional, take it a little easier, focus more on Regenerative practices or whether you can move a little faster or move with more load.
I will check in with you before the start of each session to ensure that you are ready to move on that particular day and at what intensity you are ready to work - I know that you're going to feel different from one day to the next, and this will mean that the pace at which you train and the loads that you lift are going to be different from session to session. This is particularly true for women of all ages, given the hormonal shifts they experience and I will explain more about this to you when you start training with me.
WHAT TYPE OF RESULTS CAN I EXPECT TO SEE FROM JOINING THE 6 WEEK RESET OR ATTENDING GROUP SESSIONS OR PRIVATE, PERSONAL COACHING SESSIONS WITH YOU?
If you seriously address your nutrition (as part of my 6 Week Health RESET, I educate you on this pillar of health so that you understand the interplay of your hormones, particularly cortisol & insulin) and you commit to a minimum of 3 x 45 minute Group Training Sessions each week or 3 x 30 minute Private Coaching Sessions each week, coupled with physical activity outside the studio, you can expect to see a marked improvement in strength, endurance, power, mobility and physique within your first 8 weeks with me.
If you stick with me and my holistic guidelines, you will define your abs, tighten your butt and thighs, sculpt your arms and legs, strengthen your back, improve your flexibility & posture and overall, build a longer, leaner and much, much stronger body! I have worked with clients who have lost 10kgs, 20kgs, 30kgs, 40kgs, 50kgs - and they have all kept it off because I share with them the tools for long-term success!
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING ALONG TO SESSIONS?
You need to wear comfortable work-out gear to all sessions - there's definitely no fashion on the field here at Menopause Health & Fitness, so be yourself!
This is a barefoot studio, so you do have the option to wear shoes or come without (and yes, you also have the option to keep your shoes on). As we journey together, I’ll share lots of scientific evidence and personal experience with you around why training barefoot is the BOMB!
I am a huge fan of prepping the body properly before we move and we always incorporate some time with feet on Lacrosse Balls and bodies on Trigger Point Rollers and Naboso Training Mats - we can chat more about these tools when we meet.
You do need to bring along a towel and full water bottle to every session - I do provide filtered water stations so that you can top up as needed during your session.
GROUP TRAINING MEMBERSHIP AND PRICING?
All new clients are more than welcome to take advantage of my Special Introductory Offer - this is a brilliant opportunity for us to spend time together and work together to create the right health program for you and your very personal needs.
After that, I offer a number of different pricing options for my Group Training Sessions, because I understand how busy you all are and how everyone needs a little more flexibility these days with “exercise” memberships. Basically, I offer prepaid packs of sessions or you can choose to pay for a month of sessions at a time.
The packs of sessions have longer "use-by" dates and are great if you are doing other training or physical activity and just want to supplement that movement with a session or two weekly here at Menopause Health & Fitness.
With the 4-weekly payment options, you can choose from 8, 12 or Unlimited session attendances in a 4-week period - the more sessions you commit to and pay for in advance, the cheaper it gets.
All of the payment options are contract free, which means you can cancel or change up your option at the end of your pre-paid period.
To get started today, you can simply purchase a membership option on-line and your credit or debit card will automatically be debited. Plugging into a recurring payment is usually a great way to motivate you in becoming consistent with attending structured training sessions and we all know that consistency is absolutely the key to success on any level!
Of course, I do take payments via direct transfer to my bank account - if this option works best for you, just let me know and I will provide the necessary details for you.
View all Group Training pricing options.
IF I AM PAYING A 4-WEEKLY RECURRING GROUP TRAINING MEMBERSHIP, HOW DO I CHANGE MY PAYMENT OPTION?
You can cancel or change up your payment option at any time as long as you give me at least 5 days notice before renewal, so that I have time to make the changes in the system before your next payment is drawn down. The best way to let me know that you want to do this is to email me.
Unfortunately, once a debit has been processed, it cannot be refunded.
DO YOU HAVE A DISCOUNT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, EMERGENCY SERVICES & MILITARY PERSONNEL?
Yes, I offer a 15% discount for serving law enforcement, emergency services & military personnel and their partners. I believe in rewarding the forces heroes and it is my way of saying thank you for your efforts in keeping our Country and local community safe.
To take advantage of this offer, please email me today and I will give you the discount code to be used at checkout.
DO YOU HAVE A STUDENT DISCOUNT?
Yes, I offer the following Student discount:
Full-time High School & University Students - 10-pack of Group Training Sessions for $169.00 (discount of $50.00 on our full-paid adult rate)
ARE THE GROUP TRAINING SESSIONS WORTH IT?
Of course I will say yes, but to be honest, like everything else in this life, you will only reap the rewards you want from consistent action, which means you do need to keep showing up and participating for change to happen.
If you give each and every session your all, so that you can walk away knowing that you did your best given your readiness to train on that day, then absolutely, you will see the changes you want (on all levels), which means the sessions are more than worth it!
Besides, I have the most amazing community of clients who are going to welcome you and make you feel at home - they will inspire you, enthrall you, dance with you and entertain you - again, so very worth it!
WHAT ABOUT NUTRITION?
Moving is critical for so many reasons, and that's what I want for everyone, every day!
But if you are serious about changing your health and longevity quality, then you need to understand and accept that structured exercise is only part of the puzzle - "real" nutrition guidance is key, as is being fully away of your hormonal status.
To help you understand what you are consuming daily and what "healthy" eating and "real" nutrition looks like, I will provide a complimentary half-hour food diary analysis during your second month with me - to book your private 1-on-1 session, you just need to email me in your 4th week and I will schedule it in!
I NEED HELP WITH PROGRAMMING MY OWN TRAINING SESSIONS AT HOME?
I am more than happy to work with you to craft a number of different training programs for you to use at home, based on your health & fitness goals and your current physical aptitude. I will provide detailed instructions on each movement exposure in a one-on-one session format, so you know what to do and why.
To book a half hour or one hour Consultation dedicated to home programming, just email me.
Cost is $89.00 for each half hour or $169.00 for each one hour session and I do recommend at least two x full hour sessions to get you started with a sound knowledge of the foundations you need to understand, before you work on your own.
I AM INJURED OR I HAVE A HEALTH ISSUE - CAN I STILL TRAIN?
Depending on the severity of your injury or health issue, I am happy for you to continue training as long as your Doctor, Physio, Osteo, Chiro or supervising Medical Practitioner has approved it - if you do have flu or cold symptoms, I encourage you to stay home and rest up, rather than add more external stress to your already taxed immune system.
I can modify most movements programmed within the Group Sessions, so if you do want to come along, you just need to make sure that you let me know before you attend the session so that I can plan accordingly and ensure that you get the very best of my attention without limiting my ability to coach the rest of the group.
