Having to resist the temptation to throw my phone across the room every time I see Joe Wicks fucking grinning at me on SM pushing his new ‘menopause fitness plan’ with a fucking big grin on his face while he tells women to ‘just tell yourself you can do it!’ when he has no idea what it feels like having even a single period let alone the fucking menopause!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

anyone else??!!

YANBU for being irritated by him in general

I agree. I don't feel it is a space for men.

Well said

I have done exactly one JW workout in my life and he had to stop halfway through to get his breath back.

Lucky chap- right place right time with his lockdown videos, fair play. But there are better trainers online and definitely better menopause-specialist trainers.

There's no end to the stuff they will slap a 'menopause' sticker on 🙄

Tea, chocolate, nightwear, shampoo, face cream and now bloody EXERCISE! I mean, exercise is one of the most brilliant things you can do in menopause but for the love of god 🤦🏻‍♂️

Joe Wicks jumps on every moneymaking bandwagon. He’s a grifter.

I like Joe Wicks, and his workouts
Not tried the menopause specific ones but I'd be willing to try because of the above
So no it doesn't annoy me

Every day I tell myself I can "just do it"
Most days some of "it" just doesn't happen

Rinoachicken · 01/09/2026 16:29

So glad it’s not just me!

I find him irritating anyway, and now I find out he's doing this. Bloody man!

Poppingby · 01/09/2026 16:25

I agree. But one never know if one's irritation is the irritating thing or just menopause making everything irritating. men should be more careful either way.

I agree. I don't feel it is a space for men.

There are a lot of people out there making a lot of money from menopausal women.
