Over Power Cambridge

“Why did I do this?” 😳

That was Gill’s first thought as she walked into her very first Over Power session…

At 71 years old.

She’d never really exercised before and, like so many women, she wasn’t sure if she’d made the right decision.

Three weeks later?

“I LOVE it.”

The biggest surprise for Gill hasn’t just been the training.

It’s been how welcomed she’s felt.

“I wouldn’t have come back if the ladies hadn’t been so lovely.”

And that’s exactly what Over Power is all about.

Not judgement.
Not trying to keep up with everyone else.
Not feeling like you have to be fit before you start.

Just a group of supportive women encouraging each other to become a little stronger every week.

Even more inspiring is what Gill has noticed already…

💙 “I can feel myself standing up taller.”

💙 “I can feel I’m stronger.”

💙 “My aim is to get off the floor more easily.”

Those might sound like small things, but they’re not.

They’re the things that protect our independence, improve our confidence and help us enjoy life for years to come.

Strength training isn’t about lifting the heaviest weights.

It’s about being able to keep doing the things that matter.

Gill, we’re incredibly proud of you for taking that first step.

If you’ve been putting it off because you think you’re too old, too unfit or too nervous…

Take it from Gill.

It’s never too late to start.

Summer doesn't have to become a setback ☀️

Every year it happens...

The holidays arrive.
The routine changes.
BBQs, weekends away and social events fill the diary.

And before you know it, fitness gets pushed aside.

On the other hand ... we've also seen ladies kick start and build routines during the summer months!

We've got new members doing exactly that right now!

So here's your reminder:

You don't need to be perfect this summer.

You just need to keep moving.

A few sessions.
A few walks.
A few healthy meals.

Small actions still count.

💙 Consistency beats perfection every time.

We get it... Getting started can feel scary 😧

So when your guided, supported and cared for in those first few sessions it makes all the difference 💙

Current members - let us know in the comments how much this kind of coaching helped you to build your confidence at the sessions 😊

Ladies, you can so hard on yourselves!

You’re carrying a lot more than most people realise… and yet you still beat yourself up for not doing “enough.”

Yes, your health matters.
Yes, your habits matter.

But so does kindness.

Juggling life, family, work, hormones, and everyone else’s needs can feel bloody relentless at times.

So instead of only focusing on where you need to do better…

Take a moment to recognise how much you’re already carrying.

Yes, look for where and how you can carve out time for you and your wellbeing!

But be kind to yourself as you make the positive changes.

You’re already doing better than you think.

Because who doesn’t love a poem… 💙

Let's create a little book of Over Power poems!

Send us yours and we will share our favourite ones on here 😊

The Over Power Poem #1

At Over Power we work with you
No matter what you can or can't do

Some ladies, they can't squat so low
And others find it harder to throw

Some days you'll just come for the chatter
As long as you show, it doesn't matter

We know they'll be times you'll turn up shattered
It's ok just to move, you won't be battered

There's sessions when you turn up feeling great
You'll push harder and pick up that extra weight

Whether it's the start, the middle or the end of the day
When you come, you'll feel better...

That's the Over Power way 💙

Don't forget to say "hello Tracey" on your deadlifts 🤣💙

We love some CONES in our circuits! 💙

Both for games, and making ouŕ circuits extra colourful!

Some laughs, smiles, comradery,
All add to a brighter day!

Strength Training Is About Progress, Not Pressure 💙

Strength training:

✅ Builds confidence
✅ Improves coordination
✅ Supports joint strength
✅ And helps you move better in everyday life

Here’s Tina and Saadia working through box jumps with some coaching to help them feel confident, safe, and in control

Because it’s not just about doing an exercise,
it’s about doing it well, and at the right level for YOU!

And that’s the key 👇
Not every movement is right for everyone straight away.

That’s why we always have options:
✔ Different height steps
✔ Lower boxes
✔ Or even stepping up instead of jumping

So you can still get the benefits, build confidence, and progress at your own pace 💙

At Over Power, it’s never about being thrown in at the deep end…
It’s about being coached, supported, and meeting you where you’re at and keeping you safe.
