Short, structured strength workouts for women 35+ — built for a living room, a pair of dumbbells and the 20 minutes you actually have.
No equipment list to buy. Cancel anytime.
Home
Open the app and today’s session is already there — named, timed and ready. No spreadsheet, no deciding what to do.
Every session exists in a home version and a full-gym version. Pick the one that matches the room you are standing in.
Training days sit across the week with rest days marked. Life moved? Shift a session and the rest follows.
Multi-week strength programmes that add load as you go, with yoga and mobility sessions for the days between.
Nutrition
No weighing, no hunting through a database. Point the camera at your dinner and it is logged — with hundreds of protein-forward recipes when you want the decision made for you.
Snap your plate and the app estimates the food and its macros, then hands you the numbers to check and adjust. Packaged instead? Point at the barcode and it scans automatically.
One ring shows what is left for the day. Water too, if you are tracking it.
Family-friendly meals that support training without cooking yourself a separate plate. Filter by meal, time or what is already in the fridge.
Community
Not a comment box you post into and hope. A feed of real women mid-programme, with the coach answering in it.
Each challenge gets its own thread, so week-one questions sit with other people on week one.
Post a win, a plate of food or a question about form. Every store review gets a reply too — same people, same tone.
Progress
Workouts per week, minutes trained, current streak and the lifts that are moving — charted, so a flat week is obvious and a good month is undeniable.
Log weight and measurements, and put challenge photos next to each other when you finish.
Streaks and milestones tied to work you actually did, not points for opening the app.

“Real strength training for women — none of that jumping up and down HIIT stuff (I have dodgy knees lol). Workouts I can do at home or the gym and shuffle around when life gets crazy!”
“As a 40 something old woman who hasn't worked out in awhile, the beginner workouts are spot on to start building my strength back. The yoga recovery sessions have helped me mentally as well as physically.”
“I've done 5 million programs over the last 20 years and this is the first one I've stuck with in a long time. It's broken up very nicely and is extremely easy to use. I am moving into week 5 and loving it.”
“As a busy mum this app is exactly what I needed. The workouts are simple, motivating and easy to fit around family life. I love that you can log meals and track your weight and progress too.”
“A great app for busy active women who run on a tight schedule but still want to squeeze a workout or two into a busy day. Easy to follow, can be done at home, in whatever time you have available.”
“It has been amazing to have the option to work out right at home, while still having the flexibility to use it at the gym too. What I love most is that I actually want to work out!”
“I have been doing Shelley's workouts on and off for years now. I have seen this app develop, and it keeps getting better and better. I love her focus on form and building a strong foundation for women.”
“I would always recommend her and the app to anyone really feeling low or desperate. The app gives you the option to do gym or at home workouts. She's so knowledgeable and honest that it is so worth the time.”
“The early bugs have been fixed and this app is amazing now! Everything works great and the workouts are laid out in an easy to follow interface. Love it!”
“I have been using it for 2-3 weeks. It requires a couple of improvements and there can be some minor glitches which go away after restarting, but in general it is worth every penny.”

Hi, I'm Shelley, Founder of Strong Curves and strength coach for women over 35 - helping busy women build strength without pressure or perfection.
I wasn't born sporty - I hated exercise and spent years struggling to stay consistent. Like many women, I tried starting over again and again. Strength training changed that - not because it was extreme, but because it taught me how to work with my body and build habits I could actually stick to.
Over time, I became stronger, more confident, and consistent in a way that finally felt sustainable. I created Strong Curves for women 35+ who want strength training that fits real life. No punishment workouts, no guilt, and no pressure to keep up - just smart, supportive training designed to help you stay consistent and feel strong for the long term.
If you're ready for strength training that meets you where you are - you're in the right place.

"I’m so excited with the app, it looks amazing. I'm enjoying the recipes and the workouts. I'm in my 30s and I've never been in better shape. Looking forward to what can be achieved!"
"I love that the planner makes it easy to navigate the workouts & that the workouts are follow along. My experience with some of the other apps that I've tried is that they are either too complicated or too basic, so I think this is a great balance between the two! The recipes are fantastic too!"
"This app really elevates the game for me. Having Shelley there to walk through it has made the workout so much simpler! I almost feel like I can do even more now because I'm confident I'm doing it correctly watching her form. And can I add, I chortled loudly at the "broom stick up the ass"! Your sense of humor is also awesome and helps me push through things like PLANKING!"
"I feel like I am in good hands after doing a couple of the workouts. Love how beginner friendly they are, love the way you explain things and keep it relatable but my favourite part is when you say "just a little longer" it really is only a little longer!"
"Just wanted to say l'm enjoying the app so much! Thanks to your advice, I prioritized weight training and stopped counting calories. My period came back and I had a baby last year! I kept active throughout my pregnancy and my body bounced back on its own. You truly changed my relationship with food and exercise."
"The follow along workout videos (and yoga cool-downs are AMAZING so rejuvenating) - they keeping me so much more on track and motivated. I love the music, Shelley's sense of humor, and the pace SO much! I know this is very very good for my health both physically and mentally to have this me time and I really enjoy it. Never thought l'd say that about a workout haha. Thanks Shelley for your whole body of work! You help us more than you know!"

"I'm not easily pleased but the app and Shelley's advice is game changing. Everything from the guidance, style of workouts and the overall aesthetic of the videos is just amazing."
"I am so grateful and at what a big changing point in my life you helped me more than you can imagine, Shelley! I thank you so so much!!! You were there, when I needed your workouts, but especially the loving words and positivity you are sharing. I wouldn't say, I wouldn't have made it without this app, but this way it is a lot of fun and much easier ;-)"
"I absolutely love the follow-along videos, mostly because they feel natural and not just some robot voice telling us what to do. I also love the recipes and the accountability systems, makes it easier to stay motivated."
"I looove all the delicious recipes and how the follow-along workouts are spit into sections for warm-ups, activation and main workouts. The planner makes it easy to keep track of my workouts and progress. I am very messy and chaotic and this helps me organize myself better."
"I've been on the app for about a month and I absolutely love everything! I have been working my way to a stronger and healthier body and I have Strong Curves to thank for that 🥰"
"I was finding it difficult to juggle school and gym. The app was perfect as I could do the workouts from home - fast, efficient, and effective. The recipes really helped to get my eating back on track with healthy and delicious options, like the zucchini fritters, slow cooker ginger chicken, and the shakshuka!"
