The Hardest Part Was Walking Through the Door
At 60, and having gone through menopause, Teresa almost didn’t walk into ROAR.
“The hardest part was coming in,” she admits. “I just thought… there’s no way. I’m too old, I’ve gone through menopause — can I really do this?”
Like many women at this stage of life, Teresa wasn’t just facing physical changes — but a real loss of confidence, energy, and belief in what her body was still capable of.
What she didn’t realise at the time was that this moment would become a turning point.
A Smarter Approach to Training
Once she began, everything started to shift.
“It’s not intimidating at all. The trainers are so supportive, and everything is tailored to you — your body, your energy, your pace.”
Rather than being pushed into something overwhelming, Teresa was introduced to a structured, intelligent approach to training — one designed around her body and stage of life.
Instead of forcing intensity, the focus was on building strength progressively, improving movement, and creating consistency.
And that’s where the progress began.
Around Six Weeks In, Everything Changed
Within the first six weeks, Teresa started to feel a difference.
“Around six weeks in, I really started noticing the change. It’s hard to explain… it’s not just physical. The whole thing just makes you feel so powerful.”
“If you could bottle how you feel after training, I’d be so rich.”
That shift wasn’t just about weight loss.
It was about how she carried herself, how she moved, and how she felt day-to-day.
Rebuilding Strength — Inside and Out
Over 16 weeks, Teresa lost 13kg and dropped two dress sizes — but the physical changes were only part of the story.
“Physically, I feel stronger. My posture has improved, I move better, and I’ve got energy again.
But mentally… that’s where the biggest shift has been. I’ve gone from thinking I can’t, to knowing I can.”
For many women post-menopause, confidence can take a significant hit.
Teresa rebuilt hers from the ground up.
I Feel Like a Completely Different Person
“I’d say to anyone thinking they’re too old — you’ve got to do it,” she says.
“Be kind to yourself and give it a chance. I feel like a completely different person now.
It’s not about being 20 again — it’s about being the strongest, happiest version of yourself right now.”
What This Really Shows
Teresa’s transformation isn’t just about losing 13kg.
It’s proof that with the right structure, guidance, and consistency, your body is capable of far more than you think — at any age.
This is what happens when training is done properly.
