I'm Rosie MacLennan-Crump: personal trainer, certified menopause specialist, and founder of Rosie Strong (formerly Blossom with Rosie). I help women over 35, and people navigating perimenopause and menopause, reclaim their energy, build strength, and feel more like themselves again. Physically and mentally.
After going through early menopause at 42, I retrained from art educator to strength coach, and I've never looked back. I'm a certified women's coaching specialist, qualified to work with disabled clients and clients living with long-term conditions, and trained through a range of specialist providers including British Weightlifting, Girls Gone Strong and Burrell Education. I'm currently completing my Level 4 Strength and Conditioning qualification. But the letters after my name matter less than what they let me do, which is help you feel confident, supported, and strong, inside and out.
I combine movement, mindset, and lifestyle shifts (including my own journey to sobriety) to help you feel great. I run The Refectory, a boutique strength studio in Ilkeston, and coach women across Stapleford, Nottingham, Ilkeston and the wider Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire area, both in person and online.
Whether you're here for training tips, hormone-friendly recipes, or honest chats about what it's really like to age without shrinking yourself, welcome.
Let's redefine what midlife looks and feels like, together.
