Benefits of Strength and SIT training and why they are included in the programme
DediKate Thrive integrates both Strength and Sprint Interval Training into its program because they collectively offer a comprehensive approach to health and fitness for peri-post menopausal women. These training methods address the specific challenges of menopause—from maintaining muscle and bone health to improving cardiovascular fitness and mental well-being.
By incorporating these exercises into DediKate Thrive, we ensure that you receive a balanced, effective workout regimen that supports your body’s needs and helps you thrive during this significant life stage. Our goal is to empower you to stay strong, healthy, and vibrant, so you can enjoy life to its fullest potential.
Equipment Recommendations
To maximise the benefits of DediKate THRIVE and effectively engage in our tailored exercises for peri and post menopausal health, having the right equipment is crucial. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Light Dumbbells: 1-3 kgs+
- Heavy Dumbbells: 4-10 kgs+
- Super Heavy Dumbbells: 8-20kgs+ (optional)
As you progress and become more comfortable with strength training, we recommend investing in the super heavy set, typically between 8-20 kgs. These weights will support your continued growth and adaptation (especially for the lower body), allowing for more intense workouts that build muscle and boost metabolism. This set is not immediately necessary and can be added as you advance in the programme.

Thrive Success Stories
Hear from these three fabulous DediKate members who successfully completed DediKate Thrive.
I really love the challenge of pushing my body to lift such heavy weights, or sprint up and down the driveway, when I really didn’t believe I could. Already I feel stronger and more toned physically and happier and I can see the benefits of pushing my new post-menopausal body and mind.
I signed up to DediKate Thrive as I had read a bit about the importance of lifting heavy as you start to age, but didn’t really know where to start. I have loved the awesome support of the DediKate trainers, the feeling of increasing strength that DediKate Thrive has given me, and comfort knowing I am doing something that will help keep me fit and healthy and able to play with and keep up with my 2 young boys for the years to come.
I’ve struggled with consistent exercise for the last few years, and peri/post menopause for me has involved lots of muscle loss, increased weight, tiredness, and terrible sleep. Thrive appealed to me as it is targeted for my stage of life. I’m about to start week 8 - I’ve got way more energy, am sleeping better more nights than not, and am feeling much stronger.
