She trains women one-on-one in a private studio, specialising in strength training, body recomposition, functional conditioning and beginner personal training. A significant part of her practice is programming for women through perimenopause and menopause, with a focus on maintaining bone density, lean muscle mass and energy through progressive resistance training.

Known for her supportive and empowering approach, Sophia helps women build lean muscle, improve energy and create long-term sustainable health outcomes through personalised strength training programs.
A significant part of Sophia's practice is working with women navigating perimenopause and menopause — designing programs that account for hormonal changes, bone density, energy fluctuations and the specific physical shifts that occur during this stage of life.
Whether you're picking up weights for the first time or returning to training after years away, Sophia meets you exactly where you are — building strength, confidence and capability at a pace that works for you.
Sophia on her approach to training women
What Sophia specialises in.
From complete beginners to experienced gym-goers navigating menopause — every program is built around you.
Training smarter
through hormonal change.
Menopause and perimenopause change how the female body responds to exercise — but the solution isn't to stop training. It's to train differently.
Sophia designs programs that work with hormonal fluctuations rather than against them — addressing the specific physical challenges of this life stage through evidence-based strength training, progressive loading and intelligent recovery protocols.
Sophia's menopause training philosophy focuses on sustainable intensity, strategic recovery and movement patterns that support long-term bone and joint health — not extreme workouts that deplete an already taxed system.
"Have been working with Sophia for the past months on 1:1 training and she is amazing. Great attention to detail on correcting my form and tailoring to my needs. She is able to push me to do more without going too excessive, keeping me motivated along the way. Sophia is knowledgeable, patient and fun to train with. Thank you!"
"I reluctantly agreed to start personal training 4 months ago. I met Sofia and she set a weight program for my age group (64) and I haven't looked back. It's the best I felt in a long time and I actually lost 10kg in the process. She is an amazing knowledgeable young lady and knows how to get the best out of individuals."

Sophia - FAQs.
No. A large share of Sophia’s clients have never done structured strength training before. Every program starts with technique and builds from where you actually are — not where a program says you should be.
Yes. A significant part of her practice is working with women through perimenopause and menopause — programming that accounts for changes in energy, recovery, bone density and body composition.
Your initial consultation runs 60 minutes and starts with a conversation about your history, your goals and anything you’re working around. After that, sessions are 1:1 in a private studio — a warm-up, a strength block programmed to you, and accessory or conditioning work. Sophia coaches technique throughout.
Strength gains usually show up within a few weeks. Visible body composition change typically takes two to three months of consistent training and eating. Sophia will give you an honest timeframe rather than a number designed to sell you a package.
Personal training is 1:1 — the program is built for you, the coaching is on your technique, and the pace is yours. Group classes are one session run for everyone in the room. If you’re new to lifting, working around an injury, or want programming specific to your stage of life, 1:1 is the better start.
