A Personal Journey and Guide for Women Looking to Transform Their Lives


Are you over 40 and looking to get fit, feel confident, and transform your lifestyle?

You’re in the right place. My name is Leah, and I know exactly what it feels like to step into the world of fitness later in life. I didn’t lift my first dumbbell until I was around 40! I would stand in the corner of the gym, wearing an oversized t-shirt, nervously following YouTube workouts.


Fast-forward to today—I’m a personal trainer and founder of Supero Fitness, where I help women just like you build sustainable fitness habits.



Why Fitness Over 40 is Different—and Why It’s Worth It

When you hit 40, you might notice your body doesn’t respond the way it used to. Hormonal changes can affect everything from energy levels to metabolism, making fitness feel a more challenging. But the good news is, it’s absolutely possible to reshape your body, boost your metabolism,  feel amazing and sexy again!


Fitness at this stage is about more than just aesthetics. It’s about reclaiming your health, improving mobility, and feeling capable in your day-to-day life. I’ve designed programs to support women like you every step of the way, I've had lots of successes with my one to one clients - so I know 100% they work!


I'm not gonna lie, there are no quick fixes, regardless of what you read but with consistency and the right support, you can achieve lasting results.


Step 1: Set Realistic & Sustainable Goals


When I began my fitness journey, I wanted quick results. But over time, I learned that sustainable changes make all the difference. For my clients, especially those over 40, I recommend setting achievable, realistic goals that build confidence and encourage you to keep going.


Try setting goals around habits rather than specific weight numbers. Here are a few ideas:


Strength Goals: Aim to complete a push-up or a plank for a set time.

Lifestyle Goals:   Aim to work out 3 times per week or hit 10,000 steps daily.

Energy Goals: Track how your energy improves after a week of consistent movement and healthy eating.


For beginners or those who’ve struggled with yo-yo dieting, my Free Starter Guide is a great way to begin. This 28-page guide is designed to get you on track with fitness basics, nutrition tips, and two sample workouts you can follow at your own pace.



Step 2: Prioritise Strength Training


One of the best things I ever did was move away from intensive cardio and incorporate strength training into my routine.


Strength training isn’t just about building muscle—it’s also essential for bone health, metabolism, and overall body composition, which are especially important as we age.


If you’re unsure where to start, check out my Lean Muscle Program. This program is specifically designed to help women build lean muscle, improve their strength, and feel confident in their bodies. It includes an 8-week training plan and video demonstrations of each exercise, so you can follow along with ease.


Step 3: Focus on Nutrition for Energy and Recovery


At Supero Fitness, I teach my clients that nutrition is key to any fitness journey. Women over 40 often need to pay special attention to nutrient-dense foods to support energy, hormone balance, and recovery.


It’s about learning to fuel your body sustainably—not dieting.


If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into nutrition, I highly recommend my Women's Fat Loss Program. This program guides you in understanding your unique nutritional needs and shows you how to balance macros for fat loss and energy without restricting food. It’s all about building healthy habits that last a lifetime, helping you lose weight and maintain it without deprivation.



Step 4: Improve Your Mindset


The key to long-term fitness is cultivating a positive mindset around exercise and health. For many women, it’s easy to feel discouraged or frustrated with the process. But remember, every small step you take is progress. Start with exercises you enjoy, and don’t feel pressured to be perfect. Movement should be enjoyable and energizing, not punishing.


Remember there is no such thing as achieving 'The Ideal Body Shape in 30 days' or 'get Abs in 4 Weeks' Results do not happen this quick phrases like these are just fluffy selling gimmicks - think of them as fancy packaging!


Step 5: Track Your Progress & Celebrate Wins


One of the best ways to stay motivated is by tracking your progress. This doesn’t have to be through weighing yourself—it can be as simple as writing down how you feel after each workout or tracking improvements in strength and energy levels.


I absolutely love photos! You see yourself everyday and it's so hard to notice the changes - but get two pictures side by side and you will really notice the difference.
