About The Course

Start A Career Specialising in Cycle-Based Fitness Training in Australia

Are you a fitness professional in Australia who trains women but has never been taught how the menstrual cycle affects energy, strength, endurance, and recovery? Whether you are a personal trainer noticing your female clients have unexplained dips in performance, a group fitness instructor wondering why attendance drops at certain times of the month, or a gym instructor who wants to offer something more personalised, this course is built for you.

The Menstrual Cycle Essentials course is an industry-recognised course in Australia designed for qualified fitness professionals who want to understand the hormonal fluctuations that drive how women feel, perform, and recover throughout the month. Delivered 100% online with self-paced learning and lifetime access, it fits around your existing work and client load without adding pressure.

Across five sections and 15 topics you will build practical, applicable skills you can use with clients immediately:

  • Menstrual Cycle Fundamentals - Understand how the menstrual cycle works, how to track it, and why it matters for training outcomes. The foundation for everything else in the course.
  • Period Dysfunction and Conditions - Learn about period dysfunction, PCOS, and endometriosis so you can recognise what your clients may be dealing with and adjust programming accordingly.
  • Hormones - Go deep on oestrogen and cortisol, the two hormones that have the biggest impact on how your female clients feel and perform in training.
  • Match the Training to the Cycle - The practical core of the course. Learn exactly how to programme for the follicular phase, luteal phase, endometriosis clients, and PCOS clients, plus the specific questions to ask so you are programming from real data, not assumptions.
  • Creating an Empathetic Environment - Build the communication skills and environment that make menstruating women feel comfortable discussing their cycle with you. The trainers who can have these conversations are the ones clients trust and stay with.

This course is presented by Mish Wright, Australian Fitness Educator of the Year (2021), with over 20 years of industry experience. Most fitness qualifications never mention the menstrual cycle. This course fills that gap and gives you a genuine specialisation that your clients will notice from the very first session.

Testimonials

"I've been working in fitness for nearly a decade and loved this course. It was super informative, provided so many resources and really didn't shy away from any topics, which is such a rarity. Would absolutely recommend to anyone starting out, looking to better understand their bodies, or who train anyone with a uterus." - Jo M.

"I've been a Personal Trainer for 4 years. I just finished the periodisation of periods course. I've learned so much information from this course, which is already helping my existing clients. I can't wait to see where this new information takes myself and my team." - Kerry B.
