WildWomen
Because women aren’t weaker men.
Science has caught up and confirms what we instinctively know: women aren’t weaker men. Our bodies respond differently to training, and come with their own physiological quirks and stimulus responses. (For one, it’s harder to workout when you’re on your period or right after; men don’t suffer cyclic energy dips.)
We don’t train like men because we aren’t.

Our WildWomen programme is a training methodology that adapts to hormone fluctuations, pregnancies, perimenopause and menopause, and all that we women endure.
We know that some days you’ll show up with less in the tank and we pivot without muss or fuss.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Getting big requires training with intent to get big. Our focus at ReWilder is less on aesthetics and more on physical capacity, whether athletic or for the purposes of longevity.
-
As heavy as you can when you can. The difference between men and women have less to do with physical capacity and more to do with how you might feel during your cycle. Men’s training programmes can stay quite consistent month to month, while women’s fluctuate with their hormone levels, which can alter perception of effort or hinder performance altogether.
-
Our personalised approach to your hormone cycle means training is most meaningful if it’s 1:1. That being said, we do host community training sessions for our women clients once a month.
-
We are guided by the concept of allostatic load– the wear and tear suffered by your body and the cumulative stresses in your life. This affects not just how you are in life, but your training in the gym. The trick is smart programming– working with what you’ve got. Some days we go heavy, and some days we do the minimum if you don’t have much in the tank.
A useful strategy to bring into the rest of your life too.
WomenOnTheWall is our two-day climbing retreat built around the idea that climbing outdoors isn’t a retreat from life; it forces us back into it. It kicks us out of our heads and plants us back in the present.
It can be a powerful reset from the noise and distractions (read: bullshit) that creep into our days.
We host retreats in Chiang Mai and Koh Tao, Thailand. We work with small groups so each retreat is intimate and meaningful.
“As a mother of five and eight year old boys, life is wild! My goal is to keep up. Training with ReWilder helps me to carry my boys, throw them, and handle their surprise tackles. And not get hurt!”
