Training women effectively requires a different approach.
Learn how hormonal cycles, physiology, stress patterns, and lifestyle realities influence women's health, performance, and wellbeing.
Women are shaped by unique hormonal, physiological, and lifestyle influences that affect how they respond to exercise, nutrition, stress, and recovery — yet most of the fitness industry has been built around male-dominated research. In this course, Sara Gustafson shows you how to account for these differences so your programs genuinely support women's bodies and lives.

Most health and fitness programs were not designed with women in mind.
Research has historically focused on men
Women account for a small percentage of exercise science research, yet training recommendations are often applied universally.
Female physiology operates differently
Hormonal cycles, nervous system patterns, and biochemical differences influence how women respond to stress, training, and nutrition.
Burnout and chronic health challenges are rising
Women experience higher rates of autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and burnout, yet many programs fail to address the broader influences affecting their health.
