Without Joanne’s help, I would have remained stuck in a rut. I wouldn’t have rediscovered my passion for singing, ventured into new business endeavors, or experienced the joy of playing netball with my daughter.

Meet Joanne
Hey there, I’m Joanne, the proud founder of The Real Girls Movement. Over a decade ago, I found myself at a crossroads—juggling the demands of work, family, and my own health. Like many of you, I had tried every quick fix and fad diet out there, only to find myself back at square one, feeling frustrated and defeated.
But instead of giving up, I decided to to take action and prioritise my health and well-being. In 2015, I launched The Real Girls Movement with a simple yet powerful mission: to empower women over 40 to take control of their health, embrace their strength, and live life on their own terms.
What started as a humble mobile fitness business in 2015 quickly grew into something much bigger and expanded to online coaching services and Zoom fitness sessions during the COVID lockdown. In 2022, I decided to leave my academic career behind and commit full-time to my passion by opening a fitness studio in Wodonga, providing a welcoming “home” for my local clients to sweat, laugh, and grow together.
eontinued evolution
But my journey didn’t stop there. Over the years, I’ve continued to evolve and expand The Real Girls Movement, fine-tuning my approach and adding new services to better serve the Real Girls community.
From personalised menopause coaching to hiking adventures, every offering is designed with one goal in mind: to help you feel strong, confident, and unstoppable—at any age.
personal experience
As a woman in my 50s who’s navigated the challenges of menopause firsthand, I understand the struggles you’re facing.
But I also know that with the right support and guidance, you have the power to rewrite your story and reclaim your vitality.
So, whether you’re ready to kick menopause’s butt, break free from the dieting cycle, or simply rediscover the joy of movement, I’m here to help.
Testimonials
What my
clients think
I’ve worked with Jo for the last 3 months to implement strategies which have led to improved health, fat loss, deep positive mindset changes and what were some surprising realisations for me.
I highly recommend Jo for a realistic program and coaching that works for good.
Wendy
Life throws so many challenges but this program has helped me to realise that I need to take time for me & my health.
Thanks Jo. I would not have been able to do this without your support.
Keena
I have more confidence and more resilience… I feel bloody awesome!
I feel the most ‘powerful’ I have felt in ages, having some clarity is priceless.
Joanne’s attention, knowledge, coaching skills, and commitment to her clients is incredible, throw in a fabulous sense of humour and really, you couldn’t ask for a better coach!
Christine
I have tried so many diet plans but my mindset has never changed like it has now.
I like that the coaching is actually teaching me – I’m not just following a pre-set template.
This program has taught me I can do a lot more about my nutrition than I ever thought and that exercise can be fun and enjoyable.
Amy
I was overwhelmed on how to improve my overall health….
We looked at my goals so I could improve my health with long term sustainability in mind.
We focused on changing my old mindset – the number on the scales does not define you… adjusting my exercise to what I can do now not comparing myself to a much younger version of myself
I am so much happier and healthier.
