Find the you
you’ve been missing.
Fitness and nutrition support for women who want more from midlife and beyond.
EmpowerFit Strength & Wellness Centre is a small, welcoming space in Ballinlough, Co. Roscommon, designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and reclaim the energy you thought you’d lost.
It’s your time now
For years, many women pour their energy into everyone else; children, partners, careers, ageing parents, until one day they look in the mirror and hardly recognise themselves.
Midlife arrives, their body feels different, and suddenly they’re unsure where to begin.
EmpowerFit exists to help women come back to themselves through strength, support and community.
Menopause, midlife and the changes nobody prepared you for…
As women move through midlife, hormones shift, muscle mass decreases, mood fluctuates, and motivation can feel miles away.
Your body changes quickly, and sometimes it feels like it’s no longer playing by the rules you grew up with.
And here’s the truth:
Traditional gyms were not built for us.
- Intimidating machines
- Crowded weight rooms
- Programmes that ignore menopause
- Coaches who don’t understand a woman’s changing body
No wonder it feels hard to start or to stay consistent!
EmpowerFit is different.
Built by women, for women, our studio understands what your body is going through. We know how you feel because we’ve lived it, too. And we’ve created the supportive environment we always wished existed.
At EmpowerFit, you’ll find:
- Confidence in what your body can do
- Connection with women who get it
- Coaching that respects hormones, recovery, and real life
- Fad-free nutrition guidance that fuel, not restricts
- Fitness that feels fun and sustainable
How we support you
Small Group Strength Training
Perfect if you’re new, nervous or rebuilding from scratch. We focus on technique, gradual progress, and a pace that feels manageable, ensuring you always know exactly what to do and why you’re doing it.
Active Retirement Strength Training
Gentle, low-impact strength sessions designed for women aged 60–80+. These classes support joint health, balance, mobility, and everyday confidence, helping you stay strong and independent.
Yoga, Boxercise, Mat Pilates & Wellness Sessions
A mix of movement options to support both body and mind. Whether you need mobility, stress relief, tension release, or a mood boost, these sessions offer a supportive space to move, breathe, and reset.
Cardio Studio Access
A quiet, welcoming area equipped with easy-to-use cardio machines. Perfect for building cardiovascular fitness at your own pace or adding extra activity between classes without the pressure of a busy gym.
Nutrition consultations
One-to-one guidance tailored to midlife and menopause. We focus on realistic, sustainable habits that support energy, digestion, cravings, weight changes, and overall wellbeing, without restrictive diets or overwhelm.
Full-cycle fitness from someone who gets it
From perimenopause to post-menopause, we help you train in a way that works with your changing body, not against it.
Every programme, class and consultation is shaped by what women actually experience at this stage of life: shifting hormones, fluctuating energy, evolving recovery needs and a body that doesn’t always respond the way it once did.
Founded by Olivia Prendergast, a certified women’s strength coach who has navigated these changes herself, EmpowerFit provides:
- Training that adapts to your hormones and energy
- Progress that respects your pace, not someone else’s
- Support that spans strength, mobility, mindset and nutrition
- A community that lifts you up, literally and figuratively
