Welcome to
Strong Beyond 50™
Smart, effective coaching for women who want to feel strong, capable, and in control of their health - without extremes, guesswork, or fads.
Hi, I’m Coach Wendy Maree
- Personal Trainer
- Women’s Coaching Specialist
- Yoga Teacher.
Drawing on 15 years of coaching experience, I empower women to build physical resilience, find their confidence, and take charge of their long-term wellbeing.
While I coach women at all stages of life, I specialise in supporting active women through perimenopause and beyond who want to be Strong Beyond 50™. I provide sustainable, science-backed lifestyle solutions for those ready to train for performance - without the extremes.

Already active - but stuck?
You move regularly - walking, gardening, lifting, Pilates, but your results don’t match the effort.
I help you break through plateaus with training and coaching that fits your life. No cookie-cutter plans, no extremes - just tailored, progressive, evidence-based support for sustainable change.
Who I Coach
Every woman’s health and fitness journey is unique. Imagine it as a spectrum:
➡️ At one end: Bikini competitors and bodybuilders chasing stage-ready physiques. They track every calorie, sacrifice social moments, and invest heavily in specialised coaching. Or powerlifters aiming for max lifts and serious strength milestones.
➡️ At the other end: Those still chasing “skinny” at the expense of their health; focused on calorie-burning fads, quick fixes, or restrictive dieting rather than building long-term capability.
I don't coach at the extremes. I coach for life. This is for you if:
☑️ You are a woman aged 35-65 who is ready for progressive training to improve your body composition, build strength, and develop long-term physical resilience.
☑️ You have a baseline level of physical capability. You’re already active and understand that strength training is a long-term commitment. You want to stay adventurous and capable - whether that’s hiking, travelling, or gardening - for decades to come.
☑️ You’re feeling the "menopause noise." You’ve heard the endless advice from influencers telling you that you need to lift heavy or change everything about your fitness - but you aren't sure what’s actually true, what’s a fad, or how to even start without getting injured. You want the right advice, tailored to your body, so you can stop guessing and start progressing.
☑️ You are ready to train. My coaching is for the capable, active woman. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a mover ready to learn the foundations of lifting, this is a space for performance and body recomposition. To ensure we can get straight to work, I focus on clients who have a solid baseline of mobility and are past the rehabilitation stage. My programs are for those ready to train for strength, rather than those seeking clinical weight loss, sedentary-start programs, or injury rehabilitation.
Note: If you’re managing complex health conditions, acute injuries, or mental health challenges, your first step should be clinical support from a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist. Coaching works best when you’re ready to fully engage.
You want a body that keeps up with your life - hiking, lifting, exploring new adventures, and doing whatever the hell you want without a second thought. If you’re ready to stop exercising for 'loss' and start training for life, you’ve found your place. Welcome.
Different Levels of Expert Support, Tailored to Your Performance Goals
1. Strong Beyond 50™ Coaching (The Holistic Strategy)
360-degree support for the woman who wants to master her health, not just her workout.
After 35, the "old approaches" often stop working. You don’t need to do more; you need a smart, sustainable strategy that supports your metabolism, hormones, bones, and mental wellbeing. This is high-level online coaching built on six powerful pillars:
🏛️ Exercise and Movement
🏛️ Nutrition
🏛️ Habits
🏛️ Mindset
🏛️ Recovery
🏛️ Stress Management
What to Expect from Online Coaching:
-
Body Re-composition: Lose fat, build strength, and feel leaner and firmer.
-
Functional Longevity: Targeted support for muscle density, bone health, and long-term physical independence.
-
Consistent Energy: Improve your metabolic health and blood sugar balance so you stop hitting that mid-afternoon wall.
-
Confidence & Control: Gain the mental resilience that comes from having a clear, sustainable plan and a body you can trust.
-
My Eat With I.N.T.E.N.T.™ Method: Evidence-based nutrition guidance and coaching without restrictive extremes, meal plans, or diets.
2. Training & Fitness: The Strong Beyond 50™ Formula
Smart, science-backed programming for those who want purposeful, customised workouts.
Many online coaching programs deliver the exact same workouts to every client, automatically increasing weight or intensity based on a set percentage of the starting load, whether the client is ready or not. These cookie‑cutter approaches are designed to be as automated and generic as possible, so the same program can be sold repeatedly with minimal effort. In real life, this often leads to frustration, excessive fatigue, giving up, or even injury.
The Strong Beyond 50™ Formula is different. We focus on what's right for you, your body, your life, your goals - to ensure you progress without the burnout, excessive soreness, or fitness industry noise. You’re challenged at your own pace, with progress based on how your body is actually responding rather than a predetermined formula.
Training is available via:
-
Small Group Personal Training - in my private Drouin studio.
-
Strong Lab - Hybrid Personal Training.
-
Specialised Online Programs - Available for home or gym.
Exercise You Actually Want to Do
You don’t need to punish your body or force yourself into workouts or exercises you dread. Exercise should be enjoyable, not leave you collapsed on the floor or so sore you can hardly move.
Whether you train 2, 3, or 5 times per week, you’ll get a combination of exercises to improve strength, fitness, coordination, balance, core strength, lean muscle, bone health, and whole-body stability. Workouts are designed to challenge you at your level, and manage recovery, so you keep progressing and feel more energetic as you advance.
Every session, program, or plan is progressive, purposeful, adaptable, and makes physiological sense.
Ready to stop guessing and start seeing real results? Whether you need the full-lifestyle immersion of Coaching or a smarter, more adaptive Training program, I’m here to help you take control with expert support every step of the way.

Coach Wendy Maree absolutely amazing! She has changed my life, one powerful, inspirational woman.
I reached out to wendy just after the new year kicked off looking for someone to help me lose the weight I had gained during my pregnancy (bub was 3 months when I first contacted Wendy) I had never had personal training ever before so I was feeling very anxious on top of feeling mentally, emotionally & physically defeated (those feels that most mummas get even though all my kids eat, sleep & are physically well).
I just was living my days doing everything for my kids & partner & just hiding out inside my home when possible ashamed of how I had let myself go. Well Wendy made me feel so extremely comfortable from the moment I walked into her home gym. From learning the correct way to use gym equipment, learning breathwork & setting a good work out pace, to learning nutrition & making the area of my workout a safe zone for myself to just be me!
Wendy has given me so much of my life back. I feel confident! I feel healthy! I feel so good where I am at with my head space & most importantly I feel like I am a better mother, partner & person within myself. I will always be so grateful to have crossed paths with the beautiful Wendy. My day to day life was literally crumbling like bread crumbs with anxiety & it was so unhealthy for me. I have taken every bit of advice & encouragement this woman has given me & continued to reach for the stars. I feel amazing, thankyou Wendy for being my number one cheer squad! thankyou for being my daughter's little bestie while I could focus & put 100% in to the time I spent with you. Thankyou for all you have put into me. I highly recommend this lady to anyone ready to make time for themselves & have someone not just be a coach but someone that will take the journey with you.

Wendy has a wealth of knowledge specifically focused on women, their bodies and training needs. She’s thorough, kind and trains you in a way that you can feel and see yourself getting stronger but without feeling exhausted and overworked.
I loved every session I had with her; group based and 1:1. Wendy also worked alongside my ‘cardio’ trainer to format a plan that complimented my strength training so we were all working towards the same goal. I’d LOVE to train with her again but distance see’s us hours apart.
Caroline
I have just finished an 8-week program with Wendy and can highly recommend her for a number of reasons:
- a very reasonable cost for what she provides
- a lovely environment to train in- willing to go the extra mile to make programs work for her clients.
- friendly and helpful
- passionate about strength training
- Takes the time to understand what you are trying to achieve and takes that into account when constructing a program for individuals.
- last but my no means least, Wendy knows her stuff!
I was fortunate enough to have 1:1 training with Wendy. She gently coached me through the correct way of doing the training. No matter how many times I would forget what a particular exercise entailed, she very patiently coached me through it each time.
If you’re looking for someone in the area, do contact Wendy.

Love this! You are making my wellbeing better every single day. .....
No - thank you. Without our catch ups I would still be a mess. I feel healthier than I have for years.
Pauline
Wow, Matilda and I are loving our training sessions. Great program with a great trainer. Thanks Wendy
Larissa
I'm not keen on posting a photo of myself like this, but I am keen on supporting small businesss. So if you are looking for a new personal trainer, or looking to get back to strength training again after a long time like me I highly recommend trying out a session with Wendy.
