Member Spotlight: How Meghan Rebuilt Her Strength and Balance After Menopause

Jul 6, 2026

 by Kim Bouldin

When menopause brought weight gain, low energy, and fading strength, Meghan went looking for something that could help her feel like herself again. A Google search led her to FabYOUlous Fitness, and today she says she "gets to" strength train, not that she "has to." Here's how she found her motivation, her strength, and a community of women who just get it.

Where Meghan started

Like so many women navigating menopause, Meghan was frustrated by changes that seemed to pile up all at once. She had gained weight, felt unwell, and noticed her energy draining away. Her strength and balance were slipping, and certain movements had started to cause pain. She knew she wanted to rebuild her mobility, strength, and balance, but she needed the right place to do it.

When Meghan searched online, FabYOUlous Fitness stood out. It spoke directly to the concerns she was dealing with, and the reviews were fantastic. She decided to give it a try.

The changes she's seen

The results speak for themselves. Meghan's strength and balance have noticeably improved, and she feels dramatically better than she did before. Just as important, she found the motivation she had been so desperately missing, the drive to simply move her body again.

That motivation shows up everywhere now. Beyond her strength classes, Meghan is walking four to five days a week. She's also paying closer attention to her sleep and her diet. One healthy choice built into the next.

Why she keeps showing up

Ask Meghan what she's most proud of, and she'll tell you it's continuing to show up, and she credits the women around her for making that easy. "It is easy when you are surrounded by supportive women who get it," she says. Everyone in the room faces similar challenges, and that shared understanding creates something special.

Meghan loves the fun, encouraging, and kind environment, and says Kim and her team have been great from day one. Maybe the best sign of how far she's come is a small shift in how she talks about her workouts. As Meghan puts it, "I get to strength train, not I have to."
