Edge Athlete
Train like the athlete you are. Built for midlife.
I know that you’re training hard and putting in the work.
But you're also disappointed - the expected return isn't there for the effort you're putting in.
Hormones have shifted, life has moved on, and the approach you used to follow no longer fits where you are now.
Edge Athlete is built around how your body actually responds to training now -not the version of you from ten years ago.
This is where performance starts to return.
You’re already active. You show up consistently. You are not here for motivation.
What you are looking for is an approach that actually accounts for where you are now - not a generic program that ignores the physiological reality of peri- to post-menopause.
Strength and conditioning. With context.
Most programs assume you are starting from scratch.
You are not.
You are disciplined, driven and still pursuing progress in your training.
What is missing is not effort. It is an approach that reflects how your body actually responds to training now.
What you might notice:
The approach that worked in your 30s is no longer working anymore
Pushing harder now costs you more than it ever did
Slowing down feels like giving up
It is not about doing less. It is about applying the right strategy for how things work now.
Training that is finally built around you
When your program is dialed in for peri to postmenopause, what you start to notice is that the gains keep coming. Structured training means improved strength and power - and you feel that translate into your performance, your sport, your everyday life.
Any app can give you a program.
Edge Athlete gives you a coach who knows your name, knows your training history, watches your form and responds to what is actually happening - every week, not just at the start.
Includes:
2-3 x / week - each 45-60 minutes, plus optional mobility
Monthly progressive S&C programme via Everfit app
Home and gym versions included
Video demos
Personal coaching feedback, support and accountability
Exercise adjustments for injuries or limitations
Monthly check-in
£60 per month. Three-month minimum commitment.
What becomes possible when your training actually fits
You train with a program that finally makes sense for your body: challenging, structured and built to progress
Strength goes up month on month and you have the numbers to prove it
Your PRs move in the right direction and you know exactly why
Performance in your sport or activity improves because your training is supporting it, not competing wth it
You stop second-guessing your approach and start trusting the process
You feel stronger, more capable in the things that matter - this is what midlife performance looks like - and you feel more like yourself than you have in years
Looking for support with nutrition, sleep, stress and symptoms like hot flushes alongside your training?
That’s what Edge Performance is for.
Here’s what my clients have to say
“I am half way through my 12 week programme with Wendy and have seen amazing results. I've lost weight and feel stronger and fitter. She really listened to what I wanted to achieve and is helping me to hit those goals. Would really recommend her no matter what your current fitness level is like.”
Rebecca W.
"The program I do has a positive impact on my running, where I feel stronger, fitter and my endurance has increased again with my runs, which is a great feeling."
Becky
"Since I started training with Wendy, I have noticed a big change in my body - it's more toned, I'm getting some muscle definition again and I feel about 10 years younger! I feel energised for the first time in ages and I've even started running again despite having osteoarthritis in both knees. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable ...and she pushes you a little bit more each week. I highly recommend her."

Frequently asked questions
-
Edge Athlete is for women who are already active and have some experience with strength training. You should be comfortable with basic movement patterns - squats, hinges, presses and rows. If you are brand new to lifting, this is not the right program for you.
-
The program has home and gym versions.
At home, you need to start with two sets of dumbbells - one lighter (e.g. for triceps and lateral raises), one heavier (e.g. for chest press, rows and walking lunges) - sufficient to make the last few reps of each set genuinely challenging.
If you have a barbell, rack, bench or plyo box, even better - the gym version makes full use of these.
-
If something does not work for your body - for example, a knee that rules out Bulgarian split squats, a shoulder that cannot load overhead - I will swap it out for something that does. You get the same training stimulus without the exercises that do not work for you.
-
Edge Athlete is a two day per week program with an optional third session.
Most workouts take 45 to 60 minutes. If you are new to tracking your lifts in an app, allow a little extra time while you find your feet - it becomes second nature quickly.
The program includes planned deload weeks built into the schedule - these are part of the progression.
-
Your workouts are delivered via the Everfit app - each exercise comes with a video demonstration and written description so you know exactly what you are doing and why.
The program updates every four weeks, keeping the training progressive and your body adapting.
We keep in touch through the in-app messenger. You can submit form videos for me to review there, and I will respond within 48 hours, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
-
Edge Athlete requires a minimum 3-month commitment. After that it rolls monthly. After the initial 3-month commitment, you can cancel any time before your next billing cycle.
-
For as long as you are a member. When you cancel, your access ends at the close of your final billing cycle. Your workout history and data are archived - you can view them, but cannot record new activity.
-
At the end of the initial 3 months, you can choose to continue or select the DIY version of the program without the coaching. Alternatively, you can cancel at any time after 3 months before your next billing cycle.
-
Yes. Edge Athlete is designed for women navigating perimenopause to postmenopause. The programming takes into account how your body responds to training across this entire hormonal transition. Strength training in postmenopause is one of the most effective tools for maintaining bone density and muscle mass - both of which become increasingly important at this stage.
-
No. Edge Athlete is a strength and conditioning program - nutrition is not part of this offer. You do not need to follow a plant-based diet to train here. If you want personalised nutrition support alongside your training, that is what Edge Performance is for.
-
Yes. You have seven days from the start of your programme to decide if it is right for you. If it is not, let me know and you will receive a full refund minus a pro-rated amount for the first week.
Meet Wendy
Your Midlife Performance Coach
I'm Wendy - former lawyer, ultra-runner and midlife performance coach.
I've worked in high-performance environments - private practice, the London 2012 Olympics and within large complex organisations. I know what it's like to operate at full tilt - and what happens when your body no longer keeps pace in the same way.
In my early 50s, while training for a 275-mile ultramarathon, I was doing everything right and still gaining weight. That was the moment everything changed.
Now in my mid-50s, plant-based, still running ultras - I am navigating the same physiological shifts this program is designed around. Edge Athlete is built on what I learned.
