Ladybones

As women approach 40, our bodies start changing

As we enter midlife, our bodies change. Muscle mass decreases, balance and coordination can fade, and bone density begins to decline, especially after menopause. LadyBones tackles these shifts head-on, with expert-led classes tailored to meet the real needs of women in this stage of life

BABS, Not Abs

At LadyBones, we’re not chasing six-packs, we’re building BABS: Bones, Agility, Balance and Strength. Our workouts are designed to strengthen your skeleton, improve coordination, and support your body through everyday movements - from lifting shopping to avoiding a fall.

Designed for Real Life

Many fitness programmes overlook midlife realities: working long hours, caring for others, and dealing with the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause. LadyBones fits into your life. Whether you're short on time, feeling unsure, or simply looking for something that isn’t intimidating, our flexible classes and inclusive community make it easier to start and stick with movement that matters

Built on Science, Backed by Experience

Leah Dunthorne brings over 25 years of coaching experience, from Olympic athletes to everyday clients. When she noticed more and more women experiencing bone stress injuries, despite being active, she knew something was missing.

A New Approach to Fitness

LadyBones isn’t just a class, it’s a movement. We’re reimagining what fitness looks and feels like for women over 40. That means shifting away from aesthetics and focusing on health, functionality, and joy. It means expert female coaches, multigenerational classes, and real results. It’s about feeling energised, empowered, and ready for whatever life throws your way

ORCA LAB: HEALTH is a wellness hub that changes how we approach fitness & health.


What if the way we move changes the way we think?  What if we could run faster, for longer, by doing less?  


We provide new ways of training for everyone: from elite level athletes to musicians, from people recovering from acute & chronic injury, to children with disability.

Education


ORCA LAB: EDUCATION is a collaborative that believes we are long overdue an educational revolution.


We contend that schools were set up along industrial lines, remain antiquated in the way they teach, and that with the advent of Chat GPT, we need to re-think not just what we teach, but how we teach.
