Experienced guidance, personal understanding
Janet Kimmel, founder of Alignmethod, is navigating this stage of life herself. She brings personal understanding, over 17 years of experience supporting women, and ongoing specialist education to her work.
Her passion is helping women understand their bodies and make informed choices. The knowledge she continues to develop supports both her own training and the way she guides her clients.
Training that meets you where you are
Your training should reflect your goals, symptoms, experience and capacity to recover. We help you understand what to include, how to progress and when to adjust.
Our approach focuses on:
Progressive resistance training to build strength and support muscle health.
Bone-supporting exercise, including appropriate weight-bearing and impact activities.
Cardiovascular fitness to support heart health and endurance.
Mobility, balance and core function for comfortable, confident movement.
Recovery and consistency, with adjustments for disrupted sleep, fatigue, joint discomfort or pelvic floor symptoms.
We aim to provide enough challenge to help you progress while adapting sessions when symptoms or recovery call for a different approach.
Knowledge that builds confidence
Understanding what is happening can make this transition feel less confusing.
We share clear education about hormonal changes, muscle and bone health, body composition and recovery—and how these can influence your training. You’ll also have access to trusted resources to continue learning and prepare informed questions for your healthcare provider.
Regular exercise supports long-term health through menopause. Strength training helps strengthen muscles and bones, weight-bearing activity supports bone health, and balance training can help reduce the risk of falls. (ACOG)
Exercise has important health benefits, but it is not a proven treatment for hot flushes and night sweats. Our training supports your wellbeing alongside appropriate healthcare, with a plan shaped around your individual experience. (sogc.org)
