RE:BUILD. RE:GAIN. RE:CLAIM.
Science-Based Personal Training For Women
The Name
RE:STRENGTH carries a meaning that is both expansive and deeply personal.
On one level, “RE:” speaks to everything strength encompasses. Like the subject line of an email, it signals an ongoing conversation—about movement, resilience, health, and capability. It’s not just one definition of strength, but all of them: physical, mental, and functional. It’s strength in every form, for every stage of life.
On another level, “re” holds its literal meaning: to begin again. To rebuild. To regain. To return to something that may have been lost, paused, or changed. It represents the process of coming back to your body—stronger, more aware, and more supported than before.
RE:STRENGTH exists at the intersection of these ideas. It’s about strength in its entirety, and the journey of reclaiming it—on your terms, in your time.
The Coach
Hello! My name is Jo.
I’m a globally recognized National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)-certified personal trainer with over 20 years of experience and a lifelong background in movement—from gymnastics and yoga to strength training.
My journey hasn’t been linear. I’ve worked through spinal injuries, postnatal recovery, diastasis recti, and incontinence—experiences that shaped my passion for functional strength training.
Now in my 40s and navigating perimenopause, I’m dedicated to helping women build strength, improve mobility, support their hormones, and stay confident in their bodies as they age.

The Testimonials
“I came to RE:strength feeling completely disconnected from my body after a long break from exercise. I was nervous, unsure, and honestly didn’t know where to start. From day one, I felt supported, understood, and never judged. The training is thoughtful, personalised, and grounded in real knowledge—not trends. I’m now stronger, more mobile, and more confident than I’ve been in years. This isn’t just training—it’s rebuilding. Thank you!”
— Jen L, Client“After having my baby, I struggled to feel strong or even comfortable in my own body. Training with Jo completely changed that for me. Every session felt like training with a friend- it felt safe, intentional, and tailored to where I was at—not where I ‘should’ be. I’ve regained strength I didn’t think was possible, and more importantly, I trust my body again.”
— Alison L, Client“I started training with Coach Jo during a time when my body felt unpredictable and frustrating. What I found was a coach that truly understands women’s bodies—especially through midlife changes. Her approach is smart, sustainable, and empowering. I feel stronger, more capable, and back in control of my health. Highly recommended and I will continue training with her as long as I can!”
