Why Specialise in Training Women Around Their Monthly Cycle?

Women experience unique physiological changes throughout their menstrual cycle, which can significantly impact their energy levels, strength, endurance, and overall performance. Yet, most fitness programs don’t account for these fluctuations, often leaving women feeling frustrated or unsure about how to train effectively during different phases of their cycle.

By specialising in training women around their period, you’ll be able to design programs that align with their hormonal changes, helping them optimize their workouts for each phase—whether it’s focusing on strength during the follicular phase or prioritizing recovery during menstruation. This approach not only improves results but also fosters a better understanding of how their body works, empowering women to feel more in control of their fitness journey.

This specialisation sets you apart as a trainer who truly understands women's bodies, helping you build stronger relationships with your clients and providing them with personalised, effective training that supports their health and performance all month long.

Testimonial for Menstrual Cycle Essentials

I’ve been working in fitness for nearly a decade and loved this course! I just completed the amazing Mish Wrights Menstrual Cycle Essentials & learnt so much! It was super informative, provided so many resources and really didn’t shy away from any topics (which is such a rarity). Would absolutely recommend to anyone starting out, looking to better understand their bodies, or who train anyone with a uterus!!

Testimonial for Menstrual Cycle Essentials


I’ve been a Personal Trainer for 4 years. I just finished the periodisation of periods course with Mish Fit. I’ve learned so much information from this course, which is already helping my existing clients. I can’t wait to see where this new information takes myself and my team.

So grateful for the opportunity to do a course like this!
