Welcome to Strong Beyond 50! 

I'm Coach Wendy Maree, an experienced Personal Trainer, Certified Girls Gone Strong Women's Coaching Specialist, and qualified yoga teacher, with 14 years' experience helping women get stronger, more confident, and healthier.

I specialise in the transition from perimenopause through post-menopause and am passionate about sustainable fitness and nutrition solutions that fit your life—without extremes.

If your body's not responding like it used to, you're not alone! 

Struggling with stubborn fat, brain fog, joint pain, or low energy—despite doing all the right things?

You don’t need more cardio or stricter diets. You need a smarter, science-backed approach that supports your body from the inside out.
Coach Wendy Maree Tidal River

Here’s the truth:
 

If you’re over 40, chances are your body has started changing—belly fat appears from nowhere, energy drops, workouts feel harder, and old methods stop working. What you need now is a holistic approach that supports your metabolism, hormones, strength, and mental wellbeing—not a cookie-cutter plan or endless grind.

 

My programs focus on helping you:

​

✅  Improve body composition – reduce fat while gaining strength and tone (not just get smaller).
✅  Boost metabolism – feel energised, focused, and ready to take on your day.
✅  Support joints and bones – reduce pain, improve mobility, and future-proof your body.
✅  Achieve long-term results – no more yo-yo dieting or burning out on cardio.
✅  Build muscle and strength – move better, feel confident, and lower injury risk.
✅  Train in sync with your body – not against it, so you feel capable and strong at any age.​

If you're ready to train smarter, and build a strong, lean, and healthy body for life - you're in the right place! ​​​​​​​
With expert guidance, you can finally make lasting progress and create the strong, energised life you deserve.

I bring a deep understanding of women’s health, fitness, nutrition, and mindset to every program I create. Together, we’ll map out your goals and build a plan that fits your body, your lifestyle, and your phase of life. And as your goals evolve, your program evolves too—so you keep progressing without burnout or confusion.
This is for you if: 

✅  You're over 40 and want to see real, sustainable results. 
✅  You're tired of crash diets and endless cardio.
✅  You want to feel strong, fit, and energised in your daily life. 
✅  You've tried everything else, but nothing sticks. 
​
Just some of the goals we can work toward together:
​
✅  Strengthen muscles and bones to combat age-related decline.
✅  Improve your fitness for a vibrant, active lifestyle.
✅  Build a lean, strong physique—without extremes.
✅  Boost energy, reduce joint pain, and feel great in your body.
✅  Eat to nourish yourself—without cutting out foods you enjoy.​​​
Ready to stop guessing and start seeing real results?

Whether you’re looking for tailored strength and fitness programming, or a structured 12-week transformation, I’ll help you build strength, improve your health, and feel confident in your body again.

With expert support, you’ll follow a plan that’s built around you—your body, your lifestyle, your goals. From workouts and nutrition to mindset and recovery, I’ll guide you through every step.

Let’s create lasting change—on your terms.

Coach Wendy Maree absolutely amazing! She has changed my life, one powerful, inspirational woman. 

I reached out to wendy just after the new year kicked off looking for someone to help me lose the weight I had gained during my pregnancy (bub was 3 months when I first contacted Wendy) I had never had personal training ever before so I was feeling very anxious on top of feeling mentally, emotionally & physically defeated (those feels that most mummas get even though all my kids eat, sleep & are physically well).
 
I just was living my days doing everything for my kids & partner & just hiding out inside my home when possible ashamed of how I had let myself go. Well Wendy made me feel so extremely comfortable from the moment I walked into her home gym. From learning the correct way to use gym equipment, learning breathwork & setting a good work out pace, to learning nutrition & making the area of my workout a safe zone for myself to just be me!
 
Wendy has given me so much of my life back. I feel confident! I feel healthy! I feel so good where I am at with my head space & most importantly I feel like I am a better mother, partner & person within myself. I will always be so grateful to have crossed paths with the beautiful Wendy. My day to day life was literally crumbling like bread crumbs with anxiety & it was so unhealthy for me. I have taken every bit of advice & encouragement this woman has given me & continued to reach for the stars. I feel amazing, thankyou Wendy for being my number one cheer squad! thankyou for being my daughter's little bestie while I could focus & put 100% in to the time I spent with you. Thankyou for all you have put into me. I highly recommend this lady to anyone ready to make time for themselves & have someone not just be a coach but someone that will take the journey with you.

Wendy has a wealth of knowledge specifically focused on women, their bodies and training needs. She’s thorough, kind and trains you in a way that you can feel and see yourself getting stronger but without feeling exhausted and overworked.
 
I loved every session I had with her; group based and 1:1. Wendy also worked alongside my ‘cardio’ trainer to format a plan that complimented my strength training so we were all working towards the same goal. I’d LOVE to train with her again but distance see’s us hours apart.

I have just finished an 8-week program with Wendy and can highly recommend her for a number of reasons:

- a very reasonable cost for what she provides
- a lovely environment to train in- willing to go the extra mile to make programs work for her clients.
- friendly and helpful
- passionate about strength training
- Takes the time to understand what you are trying to achieve and takes that into account when constructing a program for individuals.
- last but my no means least, Wendy knows her stuff!

I was fortunate enough to have 1:1 training with Wendy. She gently coached me through the correct way of doing the training. No matter how many times I would forget what a particular exercise entailed, she very patiently coached me through it each time.


If you’re looking for someone in the area, do contact Wendy.

Love this! You are making my wellbeing better every single day. .....
No - thank you. Without our catch ups I would still be a mess. I feel healthier than I have for years. 

Pauline

Wow, Matilda and I are loving our training sessions. Great program with a great trainer. Thanks Wendy

Larissa

I'm not keen on posting a photo of myself like this, but I am keen on supporting small businesss. So if you are looking for a new personal trainer, or looking to get back to strength training again after a long time like me I highly recommend trying out a session with Wendy.
