Sheila Storey, your Wise Women Trainer comments:
"Wise Women Workouts was born from my own painful realisation that, being on the shady side of 50, I could no longer outrun my daily calorie consumption. My body is strong, but my joints have taken a pounding over the years, and my tendons and ligaments no longer have the elasticity they did in years gone by. I had to make WISER choices in my exercise program, and the most obvious solution was to do more resistance training to improve what muscle I had left. If this was true for me, who is keen to exercise, it must surely be true for women of my generation who are not so keen to exercise.
Having been through it myself, I can help you on this roller-coaster menopausal ride if you are willing to join me and work up a little sweat.
I decided I’d better make it FUN, or no-one would want to stay with the program, so I devised a set of workouts which challenge your body, your mind, and give you a bit of a giggle along the way. This all began nearly 6 years ago, and many of our small band of beginners are still regular participants. The group has grown, and the number of sessions I offer each week has increased to fit in with both those who work, and those enjoying retirement.
It has been a joy to watch women improve not only their strength, but their confidence and sense of well-being. The camaraderie within the classes is wonderful . . . and I am delighted that the women felt the benefits so much, that they asked me to start a group for their men. The Magnificent Old Blokes program began in 2016, and we now have a very dedicated MOB who support each other each week, and always start my weekend off with a lot of laughs.
Will you invest just an hour a week to work with me to improve your own health?
I am not your regular gym-junkie turned Personal Trainer. Asthmatic as a child, I avoided anything that would make me puff, and I was the one regularly wagging PE sessions. No surprise then, that in my teens I carried considerable extra flab, and found myself joining my parents on their weight-loss quest once my father had been read the riot act from his doctor. I lost some weight, took up Squash, and got on with my life.
Reality kicked in with the death of both my parents from massive heart attacks – each before they turned 70. I won’t go into the statistics, but it’s not hard to figure out that I am not pre-destined for a long life. That doesn’t bother me too much – what does bother me is the quality of the life that I will live as I age, and that led me to a study of fitness and nutrition. "

"I qualified as a Fitness Instructor long before Personal Trainers became de rigueur, and I have an on-going interest in the latest research in health and fitness. In 2000 I had the opportunity to start my own business through a franchised Group Personal Training program, becoming one of the strongest operators in Victoria. After four years, when the early morning alarm became more of a dread than a joy, I sold up, and moved into the Franchisor’s office to help new franchisees set up and build their own businesses.
Now, with the Wisdom of Age, I am happy to offer a program targeted at a very specific group . . . mature adults who are ready to take ownership of their own health and wellness. Six years on, and the program is proving a hit with the dedicated band of women and men who have made the commitment to make their health a priority. We all have various niggles and nagging pains, but there are always alternative exercises, and in a small group environment I can work with you to optimise your training time.
I am keen to see each individual achieve personal success, and am here to support you."
