The Movement Needs of Midlife Women
Require Special Attention!
Declining hormones change women’s joint and tissue health, making us much more prone to range of motion limitations and injury.
Despite the non-stop messaging that exercise optimizes women’s health as we age, the truth is that …
the specific needs of women in perimenopause and menopause are generally ignored by the fitness community.
FACT: Whether online or in the gym, female fitness is most often aimed at making women look smaller and sexier but the reality for women in midlife is that we have unique challenges, different priorities and special goals.
TRUTH: Midlife Women Need Movement that Recognizes and Serves Our Particular Reality.
Why Does Movement in Midlife Need to be Different?
For these reasons, Wise+Well wants to help you take the fear and confusion out of how to train!

About Basis
Basis Health & Performance is a health facility that aims to restore the interplay of natural human movement, nutrition, community, and play, with cutting edge strength, metabolic, and mobility training. The goal at Basis is to teach you how to take better care of yourself and facilitate a supportive and fun environment in which we can all thrive.
Basis uses a client-centered approach – no drill-sergeants barking commands at you – because they know that any real motivation to change has to come from you and we’re here to help you foster the knowledge, skills, and habits that will turn it into success. Basis views sound nutrition, movement, and healthy lifestyle habits as critical tools for feeling good in your skin and having the energy to keep up with life and enjoy it.
Why Choose BasisHP?
We get it, there are lots of choices when it comes to working out. So why do we feel Basis is the right fit for W+W women? Because BasisHP trainers are specially trained in human movement, biomechanics, and body control development and pass this on to you by using Kinstretch as an adjunct to traditional training. Kinstretch is a self-assessment system that enables you to monitor your own body for any dysfunction that may be causing pain and loss of performance, or that may be putting you at an increased chance of injury. Similar to our philosophy at Wise+Well, Basis’ education-forward approach teaches you how to read your joints, muscles and overall body readiness for a workout. Armed with this knowledge you’ll know whether to rest or to train and, if training, whether to pull back in your plan or push forward past plateaus. Easily done at home or in the gym, Kinstretch is designed to promote joint health + longevity, both of which are essential the health of midlife women!
What about Strength Training?
Basis has you covered there too! For a comprehensive program that encompasses the totality of a sound training philosophy designed to optimize health and performance, Basis also offers a 7-day a week program that uniquely combines daily strength, conditioning, and Kinstretch work that’s accessible and challenging for athletes of any level or background.
