What Challenges Do Personal Trainers Face When Supporting Female Clients?

Deciphering Misinformation and Clickbait - With an overload of conflicting advice and sensationalised headlines online, clients often come armed with misinformation. Trainers can struggle to help clients filter fact from fiction, particularly when it comes to complex and evolving topics.
Navigating the Menopause Conversation - Supporting women going through menopause is a relatively new focus in fitness, and many trainers lack the knowledge to how to best support clients for symptoms like fatigue, hormonal shifts, and reduced recovery capacity.
Addressing Body Image and Food Relationships - Helping clients overcome body image issues and unhealthy relationships with food can be challenging. Many women are caught in cycles of yo-yo dieting or influenced by diet culture, and trainers may feel unequipped to guide them towards lasting change.
Understanding Female Physiology - Hormonal fluctuations, menstrual cycles, and conditions like hypothalamic amenorrhoea or RED-S are unique challenges for female clients. Trainers often lack the expertise to advise & help adapt training and recovery effectively.
Supporting Pre- and Post-Natal Clients - From pelvic floor health to emotional and physical recovery after childbirth, coaching pre- and post-natal clients requires specialised knowledge. Without this, trainers may feel unprepared to deliver safe and effective training & ongoing support.

What exactly will we be covering?

4 Expert Speakers, 1 Transformative Event: The Most Vital Topics in Women’s Health

Here's what we are covering:

Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause bring unique challenges, including hormonal shifts, reduced bone density, and changes in recovery capacity. This session will provide strategies to support clients through these life stages.
The Pelvic Floor, Prolapses & Incontinence
Many clients silently struggle with pelvic floor issues like prolapses or incontinence. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of these topics and learn how to help them with both sensitivity and skill.
Body Image & Relationship with Food
Learn how body image influences client behaviours and discover strategies to promote healthier relationships with food. This session will cover how to identify and address these challenges effectively, but also help you identify when to refer out for specialist help & advice.
Disordered Eating / Eating Disorders 
Many clients may unknowingly show signs of disordered eating or be at risk of eating disorders, making it crucial for Personal Trainers to recognise and address these patterns. This session will teach you how to screen for issues, provide non-judgmental support, and confidently refer clients to specialists when needed.
Endometriosis, PCOS & Fertility
Conditions like endometriosis and PCOS can significantly impact women’s health and fitness journeys. This session will help you understand these conditions and develop strategies to manage their symptoms effectively. You’ll learn how to adapt training plans to account for pain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances, while providing realistic timelines and goals that align with your clients’ unique health needs.
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)
RED-S, caused by under-fuelling relative to activity levels, affects performance, recovery, and overall health in female clients. This session will teach you to identify warning signs and address them effectively. You’ll gain the skills to educate clients on the importance of energy balance, adjust their nutrition plans, and ensure their training programmes support recovery and long-term health.
Hypothalamic Amenorrhea
Hypothalamic amenorrhoea, often resulting from stress, under-eating, or overtraining, leads to the loss of periods and impacts hormonal health. In this session, you’ll learn to recognise early signs of this condition and guide clients toward recovery by adjusting their training load, encouraging sustainable eating habits, and supporting their overall hormonal health.
