Step out of the shadows and learn our strategies, the tools and techniques we use for optimum midlife health.
Key problems
You want to feel brilliant, on top of your game and all over your health and wellness! You want to be that go-getting individual of your past?
Experiencing anxiety, tiredness and brain fog?
However, you might be experiencing anxiety, tiredness, brain fog or even heart palpitations – and despite engaging in some sort of exercise, you feel your energy levels and joy of life just aren’t what they used to be.
Juggling responsibilities?
You have a good job or perhaps are wondering if there is more to life than what you are doing now, but the pressures of keeping on top of your game, of juggling all your responsibilities as well as wondering what on earth is going on in your body are grinding you down?
You are not alone
We are women in our 50s and over the last 10 years have experienced the ups and downs of the menopause transition.
We know first-hand what it is like to juggle family, work, friendships … whilst experiencing unexpected and sometimes quite worrying symptoms of what we now know is perimenopause and the menopause transition.
We have dived deep into learning about what happens in women’s bodies during this time and our mission is to share this learning with you and help you to take action.
Your future self
The question: How do you picture your future self?
Do as we do and cast ourselves forward 15 years from now. We still want to be hiking, running, cycling, quite frankly being as active as we are now!
But what do you want to be doing, how do you want to feel? Will you have ticked off anything on your bucket list?
Investing in your future self NOW is what we are about – you need to understand why taking control of your midlife health is so important and the steps you can take to ensure this.

"I enjoyed the breadth of the topics which were very informative and the speakers were excellent"
First of all a massive THANK YOU for running this course - my goodness It’s going to really make a difference!Every sentence made sense! Wow!
I loved the Invigor Course - it really got me thinking about so many aspects of the menopause and lifestyle changes I can start to make to help the process.
"The Invigor Life programme was recommended to me by a friend as I had been experiencing some issues that I thought might be related to menopause (e.g., increased anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, generally feeling rubbish). The programme has been great! It has helped me to understand the impact of the hormonal changes that take place around the menopause and, importantly, what concrete steps I can take to feel better and look after myself.
I lost inches off my waist and hips over the six weeks..... I was quite surprised at the results!The programme has been great! It has helped me to understand the impact of the hormonal changes that take place around the menopause and, importantly, what concrete steps I can take to feel better and look after myself.
I’ve been religiously going to bootcamp and kettlercise for years now. I LOVE how it makes me feel. I feel stronger and fitter than ever before. I feel happier with the look of my body and what it can do….I’ve also incorporated so many new good eating (and drinking) habits which have been initiated by you both. I love the comradery and accountability on the WhatsApp group. I’m hooked!
Invigor is exactly what I need, when I need it, delivered in a way that just works. Oh and it’s fun too!
I feel part of a community and inspired to keep improving my health. Being part of Invigor has given me so many measurable benefits, both mentally and physically.
It’s the only exercise I’ve stuck with regularly for several years – combination of great coaching, understanding me and my capabilities (more than I do usually), and being part of something.
I cannot thank Nicky enough for the incredible fitness journey you have taken me on. From 5 weeks postpartum with my youngest (now turned 8!) to my fitness and strength being a huge part of what keeps me emotionally grounded. It is my priority to ensure that I remain around this fitness for life and I honestly couldn’t do this without you.
I’ve been a member of Invigor Life’s studio classes for a number of years and I just love it! There’s so much variety each week with the combos of cardio, weights, body weight and always different equipment to switch it up a bit whilst perfecting technique. The classes are fun and I enjoy being a part of a like minded community. Jo always continues to push me, especially when I moan about burpees!
Love your strength classes Jo – small group work with weights really suits me. The correction of my alignment and cues really helps. I injure my shoulders easily, but I feel I can work with lower weights than others, no judgement. I’ve really noticed the difference in my strength eg walking up stairs, hills and biking up hills. Love the variety each week too. I also love being with like minded people, there to work but also laugh, it helps relieve the stress! Both Jo and Nicky are great teachers. The best.
Love the positive attitude of the classes. Great variety – never get bored. Have fun at the same time as really working hard to achieve results.
I’ve been attending Nicky’s strength and core for 2 years following a back injury and I’m the strongest and fittest I have felt in years! Nicky and Jo are a true inspiration and clearly love what they do – it shows. They look fab.

About Us
Nicky Watt
Over the last 20 years I have made it my mission to help women get and keep fit. I’m a qualified personal trainer, Kettlercise, Boxercise and BootCamp Instructor. In the 90s, it was all about step, grapevines, huge classes and choreographed moves. Later, after having children, it was all about restoring core strength and strength training new Mums for their busy lives. Now, well now, I am many years older! My 1:1 clients and I are all experiencing the symptoms of perimenopause. So, it's time to change focus again. My belief that women needed to lift weights was backed up by sooooo much science, especially during the menopause journey, it just couldn’t be ignored. Completing the 3rd Age Menopause certification was the start of this next part of the journey. So today I am passionate about supporting women to maintain strength for everyday life – for the rest of their life!
Jo Little
I'm passionate about supporting women in their midlife to find their mojo, get fit, healthy and happy again. I'm a fully qualified Personal Trainer, Purestretch and Kettlercise Instructor and Nutrition and Weight Management Coach. In 2019 I completed the Burrell Education 3rd Age Woman Certification programme. I love the outdoors, running, cycling, hiking, zip lining… you name it, I will try it! I have not always been like this. I know from experience how hard it can be to overcome the very real physical and psychological challenges that so many of us face in order to lead a healthy life. Whether you feel guilty about wanting some ‘me time’ outside of the family, you’re suffering from a lack of confidence in your ability, or a general fear that it is simply too late to change your lifestyle, I want to help you.
