Welcome to
Strong Beyond 50


Smart, effective coaching for women 40+ who want real results.

Hi, I’m Coach Wendy Maree—Personal Trainer, Certified Girls Gone Strong Women’s Coaching Specialist, yoga teacher, and passionate advocate for helping women feel strong, capable, and in control of their health.

With over 14 years of experience, I specialise in coaching active women through perimenopause and beyond—delivering sustainable, science-backed strength and lifestyle solutions that work without extremes.

Already active—but stuck? 

You’re not starting from scratch. You walk, run, lift, do Pilates, and try to eat well... but the results don’t match the effort.

I help women 40+ who are already showing up to finally start seeing results through tailored, progressive, evidence-based coaching that’s built for you and your stage of life.

Coach Wendy Maree absolutely amazing! She has changed my life, one powerful, inspirational woman. 

I reached out to wendy just after the new year kicked off looking for someone to help me lose the weight I had gained during my pregnancy (bub was 3 months when I first contacted Wendy) I had never had personal training ever before so I was feeling very anxious on top of feeling mentally, emotionally & physically defeated (those feels that most mummas get even though all my kids eat, sleep & are physically well).
 
I just was living my days doing everything for my kids & partner & just hiding out inside my home when possible ashamed of how I had let myself go. Well Wendy made me feel so extremely comfortable from the moment I walked into her home gym. From learning the correct way to use gym equipment, learning breathwork & setting a good work out pace, to learning nutrition & making the area of my workout a safe zone for myself to just be me!
 
Wendy has given me so much of my life back. I feel confident! I feel healthy! I feel so good where I am at with my head space & most importantly I feel like I am a better mother, partner & person within myself. I will always be so grateful to have crossed paths with the beautiful Wendy. My day to day life was literally crumbling like bread crumbs with anxiety & it was so unhealthy for me. I have taken every bit of advice & encouragement this woman has given me & continued to reach for the stars. I feel amazing, thankyou Wendy for being my number one cheer squad! thankyou for being my daughter's little bestie while I could focus & put 100% in to the time I spent with you. Thankyou for all you have put into me. I highly recommend this lady to anyone ready to make time for themselves & have someone not just be a coach but someone that will take the journey with you.

Wendy has a wealth of knowledge specifically focused on women, their bodies and training needs. She’s thorough, kind and trains you in a way that you can feel and see yourself getting stronger but without feeling exhausted and overworked.
 
I loved every session I had with her; group based and 1:1. Wendy also worked alongside my ‘cardio’ trainer to format a plan that complimented my strength training so we were all working towards the same goal. I’d LOVE to train with her again but distance see’s us hours apart.

I have just finished an 8-week program with Wendy and can highly recommend her for a number of reasons:

- a very reasonable cost for what she provides
- a lovely environment to train in- willing to go the extra mile to make programs work for her clients.
- friendly and helpful
- passionate about strength training
- Takes the time to understand what you are trying to achieve and takes that into account when constructing a program for individuals.
- last but my no means least, Wendy knows her stuff!

I was fortunate enough to have 1:1 training with Wendy. She gently coached me through the correct way of doing the training. No matter how many times I would forget what a particular exercise entailed, she very patiently coached me through it each time.


If you’re looking for someone in the area, do contact Wendy.

Great Personal Trainer. One on one and small training sessions. Whatever you need and want! Quality and great value for money. Knowledgeable and her technique teaching is amazing. 

Coaching Client

Love this! You are making my wellbeing better every single day. .....
No - thank you. Without our catch ups I would still be a mess. I feel healthier than I have for years. 

Pauline

Wow, Matilda and I are loving our training sessions. Great program with a great trainer. Thanks Wendy

Larissa

I'm not keen on posting a photo of myself like this, but I am keen on supporting small businesss. So if you are looking for a new personal trainer, or looking to get back to strength training again after a long time like me I highly recommend trying out a session with Wendy.
