In this talk, we’ll debunk common myths about ageing and fitness, and explore the physiological changes that occur as we age. You’ll discover what you can do to maintain or even improve your strength, flexibility, and overall health.

The "Café": Your Gateway to a Healthier, Happier You
Croeso - Welcome to The Cafe, your special place for online fitness, where you'll start on a journey to improve your wellness through workouts and talks designed to achieve your goals.
As we move into the autumn, it's the perfect time to focus on health and embrace positive lifestyle changes. That's why I've developed Café Medi 24: Building Strong Foundations, a comprehensive 6-week programme designed to guide you towards success, no matter where you are on your fitness journey.
This summer, I’ve been working with the YMCA to create a Menopause & Exercise Training programme, deepening my understanding of the changes our bodies go through as we age - who ever we are. The insights I've gained over the past year have been invaluable, particularly in understanding why we experience aches and pains, and why motivation and drive can sometimes wane.
This knowledge has reinforced the incredible benefits that exercise brings—not just for physical health, but also for mental well-being. Whether it’s boosting confidence, reducing stress, or simply feeling good about yourself, exercise plays a vital role in helping us live active and fulfilling lives.
I’m excited to share this information with you through Café Medi 24.
With my experience as a certified coach and industry expert in Back Care Pilates and Menopause, I’ve crafted this programme to seamlessly integrate into your daily routine, offering exercises that promote spinal health, enhance strength, and improve flexibility.
Join me on this empowering fitness journey, where you’ll have access to invigorating workouts, supportive sessions, and up-to-date, research-backed advice on health and well-being. Together, we’ll build a foundation for a stronger, healthier, and more confident you.

Love the cafes, this last one was my 3rd(?) the workouts are doable, challenging and fun .I'm stronger, fitter and energised and my whole outlook is more positive as a result, and I put this down to the information I've learned from cafe chat, motivate me and Rachel's expertise.

I so enjoy Rachel’s online classes, feels like we are altogether whether live or catch up, they are happy classes. They suit my variable available time and how I feel, they were all new classes to me and I can feel my body and brain thanking me for it. Diolch Rachel!

However, joining the cafe was a revelation in that the holistic approach, and the understanding that your teaching brought to the table, pulled the whole thing together for me and it’s become a fundamental part of my life …. especially the Pilates.
