Your body is changing, so your approach needs to change too.

Strength, cardio, nutrition and education in one app.

App launching 16 November

Tania Monk · Women’s strength coach & nutritionist

The program I’ve used on myself and my clients for the past 10 years – now it’s yours.

Training, nutrition, education and support, all in one app and all from me. Whether you’re getting ready for perimenopause, in the thick of it, or well past it, this program meets you where you are, at home or in the gym.

12 weeks for $199.99 AUD, then $34.99 AUD a month, cancel any time. Launching 16 November, but start at any time. Join my Facebook group for a sneak peek.

Strength, fitness and health at every stage.

The principles haven’t changed. Strength training, enough protein, healthy nutrition, regular movement and good sleep still work at any age. What gets harder is doing them consistently when your sleep is disrupted, recovery is slower and life is full.

So we focus on what makes the biggest difference, and build habits you enjoy and can sustain. It’s what I’ve spent the last 10 years refining, in my own training and with the women I coach.

Train for strength and fitness

Three strength and two HIIT workouts a week to choose from, plus yoga, Pilates and mobility twice a week. I recommend at least three a week, with at least two of those strength.

Eat to support your training and your goals

Personalised protein and macro targets, with meals you choose. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain or simply eating better, we start with protein, fibre and the foods you enjoy.

Understand what’s changing

Most women were never told what to expect from peri to post-menopause. Twice a week, I’ll break it all down. Understanding the why behind what you do is what closes the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Hi, I’m Tania

A mum of four, a nutritionist and strength coach, and the founding owner of two gyms, including Fit After 40, my women-only gym in Warrnambool.

I know what it’s like to try to prioritise yourself, fitting in training and eating well around a busy career, a family, and a changing body you don’t quite recognise anymore. Now in my 50s, I feel stronger and more capable than I ever have, and my purpose is to help you feel the same.

As an online coach, I’ve helped women from all over the world build confidence and find their strength through their 40s, the menopause transition and the years that follow.

Why I built Fit After 40

For the past decade, these are the principles I’ve followed myself and used with every woman I coach. I’ve tested them, adjusted them and refined them with women at every stage, from complete beginners to experienced lifters.

Social media is full of advice for women at this stage of life, and much of it is confusing, contradictory or simply wrong. You shouldn’t have to work out who to believe. I wanted to give women one place they can trust, built on evidence, not trends.

I also know that not everyone can get to a gym, or feels comfortable in one, and life doesn’t always run to a timetable.

Getting older doesn’t mean lowering your expectations of what your body can do. It means understanding the changes and knowing how to adapt.

So I’ve put everything I’ve learned into the Fit After 40 app: training, nutrition, education and building the habits that make it all stick, with me guiding you at home or in the gym, whenever it suits you.

That’s why I took Fit After 40 online.

How it works · Your first 12 weeks

Two programs. They meet you where you’re at.

Pick the level that matches your experience. Each program runs for 12 weeks, in three phases of four weeks, so you get your technique right first and then build on it.

  • 2yoga, Pilates and mobility sessions a week
  • 2education check-ins a week from me

  • 30 min at home, 45 min in the gym
  • Yoga, Pilates and mobility twice a week

  • 12 weeks
  • 3 strength + 2 HIIT a week
  • 30 min at home, 45 min in the gym
  • Yoga, Pilates and mobility twice a week

Your 12 weeks

Three phases. Each one builds on the last.

  • Strength workout
  • HIIT workout
  1. Week 1Week 2Week 3Week 4Phase 1 · Weeks 1–4

    Learn

    Master the basics. Each workout in your week is different, built around the key compound movements. You’ll repeat that week for four weeks, so you can nail your technique and build confidence.

  2. Week 5Week 6Week 7Week 8Phase 2 · Weeks 5–8

    Build

    A new week of workouts with new exercises. With your technique in place, you’ll keep making them challenging as you get stronger, with more reps, more sets or more weight.

  3. Week 9Week 10Week 11Week 12Phase 3 · Weeks 9–12

    Progress

    Heavier lifts and more challenging variations, building on everything from the first eight weeks.

Not ready to move on yet? That’s okay. You can keep doing the exercises from the earlier phase, because they train the same movement patterns. You’ll still be progressing, just at your own pace.

  • Your level: Beginner or Intermediate/Advanced
  • Where you train: Home or Gym
  • How you train: With me or On your own

Follow along with me, or train at your own pace and track your own sets and reps. Switch between the two whenever you like, at home or in a commercial gym.

From the women I coach

In their words.

There is so much to love about training with Tania, but what I loved the most (besides the results) was that I never felt like a number. Everyone is treated as an individual.
Alice
With Tan’s passion for the industry, and the kindness and understanding she shows to her clients… it is impossible not to get results! She can relate to me like no other personal trainer… I have never felt better about myself.
Nikki, one of my clients
Tania’s wealth of knowledge and constant support enabled me to achieve results beyond my expectations. I feel stronger in my 40s than ever before and have the tools to continue on my fitness journey.
Liz
When investing time and money to achieve your goals, you want/expect support. Tania has loads of it. With her understanding, fierce motivation and unbelievable knowledge of nutrition it means keeping on track, and working hard make fitness enjoyable whilst achieving results.

You are capable of the change you desire.

Harder as we head into menopause? Perhaps. Impossible? Absolutely not!

Questions

Honest answers.

I’ve never lifted weights. Is this for me?

Yes. Build Your Foundation starts from the very beginning using bodyweight only. You’ll learn each movement properly before you add any weight.

Do I need a gym?

No. Every program has a home version and a gym version, and you can switch between them.

What equipment will I need?

Build Your Foundation (beginner): At home, the minimum is a chair and resistance bands, including a glute band, and it’s a good idea to invest in a set of light dumbbells as you get stronger. A low step is also handy.

Build Your Strength (intermediate/advanced): At home, the minimum is a set of dumbbells, resistance bands, a fit ball, a glute band and a high step. A bench is also a great option but optional.

How much time does it take?

Home workouts take about 30 minutes, and gym workouts about 45. Yoga, Pilates and mobility sessions vary in length, so you can fit them in when it suits you.

Do I have to do all five workouts?

No. I recommend a minimum of three a week, with at least two of those being strength. The HIIT sessions are optional and there because cardio matters too, and the best cardio is the one you enjoy enough to keep doing. So you get to decide how that looks for you. They’re a lot of fun, so give them a go and add them when you can. You get to organise your workouts into your week based on your busy schedule.

Can I follow along with you, or train on my own?

Both. Follow along with me, or train at your own pace and log your own sets and reps. You can switch from one session to the next.

Do I need to count calories?

No, but you can if you’d like to. The app lets you track calories and macros, or just your protein if you’d rather keep it simple. Prefer not to track at all? Use the example meal plans as a guide to what a balanced day on a plate looks like, and learn from there. There’s no single right way. Choose the approach that feels right for you and you can stick to.

What happens after the 12 weeks?

Your membership automatically moves into Strong for Life at $34.99 AUD a month, so you keep training and learning with me. You can cancel any time.

I’m in my 30s. Is this for me?

Yes. Building strength and healthy habits now, before perimenopause, is one of the best things you can do for the years ahead.

Can I watch the workouts on my TV?

Yes. You can watch on your phone, tablet or laptop, or cast to a compatible smart TV. Chromecast options are available.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Once you’re in Strong for Life, you can cancel any time.

What if I miss a week or go on holiday?

These workouts are designed to do anywhere, and I’d really encourage you to keep training while you’re away. Home workouts need very little equipment, and my education check-ins and podcasts go wherever you do. If you miss a week, you can pick up where you left off.

I have an injury or health condition. Can I still do this?

Check with your GP or physio before you start. Every movement is taught step by step, so you can work at a level that feels right for you.
