Menopause Training Matrix™ · the toolkit for gyms, studios and trainers
Every trainer menopause-informed. A consistent approach your members connect with.
Workshops and online courses don't survive staff turnover. The Menopause Training Matrix™ stays with your business. It's an easy-to-use toolkit that helps your trainers work confidently with midlife women and stay within their scope of practice.
Just you? Enrol as an individual trainer.
“Perimenopause is different for every woman. The Menopause Training Matrix™ guides fitness professionals to work with each client as the individual woman she is.”
How it works
Start with her symptoms, not a syllabus.
The Menopause Symptom Sorter orders her symptoms across the five MTM™ categories and guides the trainer to what is relevant to her.
- 01
Ask
The trainer gives her a QR code. She answers the Menopause Symptom Sorter on her own phone, in her own time.
- 02
Listen
The trainer reviews her answers and uses the MTM™ to understand each of her symptoms, starting with what matters most to her.
- 03
Prioritise
Using MTM™ resources, the trainer plans sessions around her immediate needs and builds her week with GRACE Midlife Movement™.
- 04
Support
Both the fitness professional and the client feel supported. This process can be revisited at any time to build ongoing connection and retention.

Body Shape & Metabolic Health
Cognitive Issues & Mental Health

Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause (MSM)

Questions
Before you decide.
What is the Menopause Training Matrix™?
A practical toolkit from award-winning educator Mish Wright. It turns women's health research into systems fitness professionals use with midlife women: a Menopause Symptom Sorter that places her symptoms into five categories, a module for each category with videos, cheat sheets and a quiz, quick-reference pages for coaching conversations, and GRACE Midlife Movement™ for building her week. Trainers earn a certificate with 2 AUSactive CPDs along the way.
Who is the Organisation Licence for?
Gyms, studios and aquatic centres that want every woman aged 40+ to feel heard and understood. It suits owners and managers who want menopause education built into staff development, rather than resting on one trainer who happened to take a course.
What's the difference between MTM and an online course?
An online course takes one person through everything, start to finish. The Menopause Training Matrix™ starts with the woman in front of the trainer. The Menopause Symptom Sorter places her symptoms, and the trainer opens just the category that fits. Your whole team shares the same tools and language, and the toolkit stays with your business when trainers move on.
We have regular staff turnover. How does a licence work?
The licence and the knowledge stay with your organisation, not the trainer. You manage your own seats: remove a trainer who leaves and invite their replacement in minutes. Onboarding emails walk every new trainer in, so you can market that all your trainers are menopause-informed. Trainers who complete every module while on your licence keep their certificate.
Do trainers earn CPD points?
Yes. When every module is complete and every quiz passed, a certificate with 2 AUSactive CPDs is issued automatically. Modules can be done in any order, so trainers start with what their clients need. The toolkit is also registered for CPD in New Zealand, and registration in other countries is under way. Until then, trainers elsewhere can apply to their own registration body with the certificate. An in-person MTM workshop adds another 3 CPD points.
What can a trainer do within scope?
Coach exercise, and have informed, respectful conversations about menopause. The Menopause Training Matrix™ gives trainers the knowledge to recognise symptoms, adapt a session and a week, and refer a woman to a menopause-informed GP or pelvic health physio when something needs more than training. Trainers never diagnose or advise on treatment.
Do we need to attend or host a workshop?
No. Everything is online and self-paced, so trainers learn around their rostered hours. In-person workshops and client keynotes are optional extras.
Our gym is outside Australia. Does MTM still work?
Yes. Menopause affects women everywhere, and the toolkit works in any facility. CPD points are accredited by AUSactive in Australia and registered in New Zealand, and registration in other countries is under way. Until then, trainers elsewhere can apply to their own registration body with their certificate. The Menopause Symptom Sorter shows support lines for your country.
Does a trainer need personal experience of menopause?
No. The Menopause Training Matrix™ is a toolkit built on education, not personal experience. Trainers of any age or gender learn how symptoms, energy and recovery affect training, and how to adjust coaching and programming for the woman in front of them.
Can an individual trainer buy it?
Yes. Individual trainers get the full toolkit, 100% online and self-paced, with 2 AUSactive CPDs on completion and 12 months of the Menopause Symptom Sorter. The Introduction module is designed for everyone, not just trainers, because menopause affects everyone.
