Duo Clinic is Perth's only strength + osteopath clinic built for women 40+. Coached 4-to-1, programmed in 8-week cycles, with a women's-health osteopath in the building. Two sessions a week. Real strength. Pelvic-floor-aware. Perimenopause-aware. Post-natal-aware.
No sales pitch. 15 minutes on the phone with Nev. We figure out together if Duo is the right fit, and if it's not, he'll tell you who is.
If you're nodding at three or more of these, you're exactly who Duo was built for.
Your body's changed, perimenopause, post-baby, or just the past five years, and the things that used to work don't anymore.
You know strength training is the answer (everyone keeps telling you), but you have no idea where to start, what's safe, or who actually understands a pelvic floor.
You've tried Pilates, F45, the trainer at the local gym. Some of it helped. None of it was a system. None of it lasted.
Reformer is fine. Yoga is lovely. But you want to be the woman who lifts her own bags, plays with her kids, and walks into 60 stronger, not more cautious.
There's a niggle (back, shoulder, knee, hip, pelvic floor) you've been quietly working around for years. Nobody's actually mapped it.
You're done with programs that promise smaller. You want a program that delivers stronger.
Generic programming wasn't designed with perimenopause, post-natal recovery, or pelvic-floor history in mind. So you either get hurt, get bored, or get a program written for a 25-year-old man.
30 women in a room with one trainer means nobody's actually watching your hip drop or your bracing pattern. The good cues never reach you. The compensations get reinforced.
Osteo, physio, Pilates, they help. But unless someone's loading you progressively under coached eyes, the same niggle comes back every six weeks. You're maintaining, not building.
We don't do random. We run progressive 8-week cycles. We coach 4-to-1, never 1-to-30. And our osteopath specialises in women's health, perimenopause, post-natal recovery, pelvic-floor-aware return to strength. So you train with people who actually know what your body is doing, and why.
Two owner-operators. Twenty-plus years of combined experience. Both on the floor, every week.
Jodie is the osteopath in the building, and the reason a lot of our women members joined. Registered osteo (UK & Australia), certified Pilates instructor, and sports massage therapist, with deep specialisation in women's health, post-natal recovery, perimenopause and menopause. Translation: when something's going on with your body that a generic trainer would miss, Jodie won't.
Nev coaches the strength side. 20+ years coaching women and men through everything from rehab return to first-deadlift moments. Coached at F45 Fulham and 9 Rounds Earl's Court in London, founding partner of Duo Chelsea, creator of the NeuroFit methodology. Specialises in coaching adults 40+ with respect for what their body's actually doing, not what a textbook says it should.
Every member starts with a postural assessment, movement screen, key-lifts intro, and an InBody body composition scan. Re-scanned at Week 8. The data is the proof.
Lock in your sessions for the next 14 days. Calendar = result.
One small change, protein, hydration, or pantry. No diet. No deficit cycle.
Arrive 10 min early. Drill the warm-up. Build the mobility.
30-min sit-down with Nev. Optional osteo session with Jodie.
Add weight, reps, or sets to one main lift. Logged.
Heavier lift, coached safely. The week you start surprising yourself.
Sleep, supplements, mobility, the levers that compound.
Re-test. Re-scan. Re-measure. Cycle 2 booked before you leave.
Hormones shift. Sleep changes. Body composition starts moving in a direction that feels new, and the old playbook stops working. Cardio doesn't fix it. Crash diets make it worse. Random gym programs miss the point entirely.
Resistance training, done properly, progressively, and pelvic-floor-aware, is one of the best-evidenced interventions for everything that's happening right now. Bone density. Muscle mass. Sleep quality. Mood. Insulin sensitivity. Cognitive function. This is the window where strength training compounds the most, if you do it right.

Five honest questions: what triggered the call, what you want in 8 weeks, what you've tried, any injuries or health context, when you can train.
If Duo's a good fit, he'll suggest the right pathway and book you in for a 60-min in-person Consult ($99, refunded against your first week if you join).
He'll tell you that too, and point you toward who is. The 15 minutes is yours either way.

I started Duo with Jodie because we kept meeting women in their 40s and 50s who'd been let down by the same loop: a gym that didn't get them, a Pilates class that helped but didn't progress, and a physio who could fix the pain but couldn't load them back up afterward. The system was missing.
We built Duo to fix that. Coach in one room, women's-health osteo in the next, an 8-week strength system that actually progresses, and a maximum of four people on the floor with one coach at a time. Real weights, coached around your body, perimenopause-aware, post-natal-aware, pelvic-floor-aware.
If any of this is landing, the Discovery Call is the easiest next step. 15 minutes on the phone, you tell me what's going on, I tell you honestly whether we can help. If we can't, I'll point you somewhere that can.
