Is this you?

This is for
you if...

If you're nodding at more than three of these — you're exactly who I work with.

1
You've been meaning to start for months — or years
2
You feel overwhelmed every time you think about the gym
3
You're in your 40s and your body feels like a stranger
4
Perimenopause has thrown everything off and nobody warned you
5
You've tried before and stopped — and you're sick of starting over
6
You just need someone to tell you exactly what to do
What changes

After working
with me

Not promises. Just what my clients actually tell me.

You actually look forward to training
Not dread it. Not guilt-trip yourself through it. Genuinely look forward to it.
Before

You have energy past 4pm
The 4pm crash that's been part of your life for years — gone. Or at least manageable.

↓
Lifting feels as normal as brushing your teeth
It becomes part of your week. Not an effort. Just what you do.
Before

You stop waiting to feel ready
You start. And then you keep going. Because someone is there making sure you do.
Before

You just feel like yourself again
Strong. Energised. Not spending your life thinking about it.

"Ana is a fantastic coach. Her workouts are always challenging but very adaptable, and I definitely feel the difference in my physique and endurance. My abs invariably get a workout from all the laughing we do!"

"I was very reluctant — I didn't think it was a place for me and I felt incredibly insecure. Ana made a big impact, pushed me harder and helped me become better and stronger."

"As a perimenopausal woman I had really struggled with my weight and fitness. Since training with Ana I've noticed a huge difference — not only physically, but in my confidence and overall mindset too. What really sets Ana apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients."

About Unpaused

Strong, energised,
and not spending
your life thinking
about it.

I used to run a CrossFit gym in Dalston. When we closed, I realised the part I couldn't give up was coaching — specifically, coaching women who'd been told fitness had to be complicated, all-or-nothing, or not for them.

Unpaused is about small habits that fit into your actual life. Strength training that makes you feel capable. Nutrition that doesn't involve weighing your rice.

Because you don't have endless time. And you shouldn't need it to feel better.

Strength Training

No machines. No intimidating gym floors. Just barbells, kettlebells and compound movements that are actually useful in real life — in your park, your home, or a private gym.

Got questions?

Things people
usually ask me

Do I need any experience?
+
Not at all. We use functional movements that are useful in your day to day life — squats, hinges, pushes, pulls. The kind of strength that carries over into real life. We start exactly where you are and build from there.
Where do sessions take place?
+
Your local park, your home, or a private gym in Tufnell Park — I bring all the equipment. No gym membership needed, no intimidating floors, no figuring out where anything is. I currently coach in Hackney, Crouch End and Tufnell Park.
What if I'm really unfit?
+
If you can walk up a flight of stairs, we can work with that. I've never met a starting point I couldn't work with. The first session is always about figuring out where you are — not where you think you should be.
How is this different from a regular gym?
+
No machines, no gym membership, no intimidating floors. Just barbells, kettlebells and dumbbells — compound movements that are actually useful in real life. Sessions happen where you feel comfortable, and every single one is built around you specifically.
Do I need to be going through perimenopause?
+
Absolutely not — perimenopause is my speciality but not a requirement. I work with women in their 40s at all stages. If you're navigating perimenopause symptoms, I understand that deeply. If you're not, the training and nutrition approach is just as effective.
How quickly will I see results?
+
Most clients feel a difference within 2–3 weeks — better sleep, more energy, less stiffness. Visible physical changes take longer, typically 6–8 weeks of consistent training. The jump in what you can lift in your first few months will genuinely surprise you.
Can I cancel anytime?
+
Yes — book week by week, no contracts, no hoops. I'd rather you stay because it's working than feel trapped. That said, most clients who start tend to stick around — because once you feel the difference, it's hard to go back.
