Menopause Movement at Active Blackpool
Whether you’re just starting to notice changes or looking for support through menopause, the Menopause Movement is here to help you feel informed, supported and in control of your wellbeing.
With honest conversations, expert guidance and a welcoming community, you can build confidence, stay active and feel your best every step of the way.
Let us tell you more about how you can become part in our Menopause Movement pilot programme.
What is the Menopause Movement?
Menopause Movement is a 8-week holistic wellbeing programme, led by a specially qualified instructor, designed to help you feel stronger, calmer, and more in control during menopause.
Each session includes a supportive mix of:
- Gentle movement
- Helpful education and guidance
- Relaxation and recovery time
- Social support and shared experiences
Our sessions are thoughtfully designed to support you physically, mentally, and emotionally, helping you feel more like yourself again.
This is more than just a fitness class. Each session blends movement, strength, relaxation, and friendly conversation, so you can look after both your body and mind in a way that feels right for you.
The Menopause Movement is open to anyone experiencing perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause. No experience is needed, just come as you are!
What does a Menopause Movement session involve?
Each session throughout the programme begins with Wise Up – a relaxed, welcoming space where you can grab a brew, connect with others, and ease into the session. We’ll explore a new topic each week, sharing simple, evidence-based tips to support your wellbeing in a way that feels practical and relevant to you.
After some gentle breathwork, we’ll move into the movement part of the session, exploring one of three key pillars:
- Rest Up focuses on calming and restorative practices, guided breathwork, and deep relaxation. It’s all about slowing down, unwinding, and reconnecting with your body.
- Rise Up is about gentle, uplifting movement that helps you open up, take up space, and build confidence, awareness, and ease in how you move and feel.
- Power Up centres on strength-building, supporting both physical and emotional resilience so you can feel stronger, more capable, and confident in everyday life.
We’ll end each session with guided rest, giving you time to slow down and let your body and mind gently reset, a chance to pause, release any tension, and feel more settled, calm and refreshed. Finally, we’ll explore a few simple takeaway practices you can use in your own time, that fit easily into your day, and will support you throughout the week.
