The workbook that accompanies it is also super helpful. The text and work books are high quality and it’s all packaged beautifully. I have learned so much valuable information already that I can start immediately applying to my coaching and I’m only half way though. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their coaching skills!”

“Molly is a trailblazer in the menopause coaching space, and I’m genuinely thankful this course exists. It’s the first one I’ve seen that takes menopause coaching seriously—like it actually matters—rather than treating it as a side note.
The course covers a wide range: hormone shifts, strength training, behavior change. It’s practical, coach-friendly, and it raises the bar for what “menopause-informed” should mean. This is real education coaches can use.
This is close to a perfect course—my one request is that postmenopause gets its own deeper module.
The physiological shifts don’t stop when periods end. Postmenopause isn’t a quick “after.” It’s a long phase with its own challenges—muscle retention and hypertrophy resistance, continued metabolic shifts, and bone health strategies that have to hold up over decades, not just during perimenopause. If the course added a deeper postmenopause section—training adaptations, nervous system regulation, and long-term recovery—it would go from strong to essential.
And to be clear: I’m recommending this course. What I’d love to see included in a future expansion:
1. Postmenopausal muscle growth and retention
How to adjust programming years after menopause, and why some classic hypertrophy assumptions need tweaking.
2. Advanced recovery and nervous system regulation
How stress tolerance and recovery can shift postmenopause, and how to program deloads and recovery with more precision for postmenopausal people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond.
3. Metabolic adaptations and nutrition beyond the transition
Protein targets long-term, energy availability, and the carb tolerance shifts that show up postmenopause.
4. Bone health for the long run
How training evolves when osteopenia/osteoporosis risk is on the table, and how to use progressive loading and appropriate impact intelligently.
5. A clear framing that menopause isn’t one event
Many programs focus on “the transition.” Postmenopause is lifelong, and coaches need guidance that matches that reality.
And none of that changes the truth: Molly is paving the way. I hope this course is the beginning of a broader, more specific conversation—one that supports people through the transition and through the decades after. If you coach midlife clients, this course is absolutely a strong start. With a postmenopause expansion, it could become the standard.”
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful, deeply informed review, Rusty.
Your experience with the Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification reflects exactly why evidence-based women’s health and fitness education matter, especially when menopause is approached as a serious, lifelong phase rather than a brief transition.
Your call for deeper education around postmenopausal muscle retention, recovery, metabolic adaptation, and long-term bone health reflects the real-world needs of clients in their 50s, 60s, and beyond. Taking a long-term view of menopause, not just the transition but the years that follow, is what strengthens menopause-informed coaching, and feedback like this helps guide how the work continues to evolve. Thank you for helping raise the standard of care for women.

Congratulations on adding the Menopause Coaching Specialist Certification to your already impressive 20 years in the industry, Kat, and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
It’s wonderful to hear how the Certification drew you in so fully that your planned 20 minutes often turned into longer study sessions, and how the hormone education helped you connect the dots between training, recovery, and nutrition.
Your insight into how much the mindset component enriched your coaching is incredibly valuable, and your recommendation to other coaches is truly appreciated.

“If your WHY for getting out of bed each morning is to empower women and help them navigate their midlife goals, health, and opportunities, then this is the course for you!
This program is user-friendly and self-paced, allowing you to fit it into your schedule, regardless of your prior experience. Yet, it is as in-depth as professional as any college-level course. Each chapter/module will teach you about menopause, common midlife topics and challenges while highlighting positive methods for how to deliver information to any client, step by step. Essentially, Girls Gone Strong provides a turnkey program that you can absorb, teach, and deliver to others. I was absolutely stunned by the design and practical information provided in this certification.
It may sound too good to be true, but having spent decades in academia and elite sports, and having implemented numerous health programs—including the SilverSneakers Fitness Program for Blue Shield of California—I can assure you it’s not.
After researching several menopause certification programs, including those from other countries, I knew that Girls Gone Strong was the best fit for me. As an exercise scientist, this course has truly transformed my understanding and approach to midlife health, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!
I believe that with knowledge comes power, and together, we can enrich each other's lives. So let's change women's health, together. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and empower others.
