Why Our Early Access Users Love Menovation

“Thank you. This app is pure gold. I feel so seen, I could cry (which is also probably a perimenopause thing 😆).” 

Perimenopause is no joke. From unpredictable periods, the never-ending hormonal roller coaster, sudden body changes, and mental health impacts, on top of a full load of family and work responsibilities, this stage of life is CHALLENGING. (And, often, sweaty.) We know that these symptoms can affect your confidence, energy levels, and overall well-being. 

This is our “why” – why the Menovation team worked hard to create a four-in-one app to provide holistic support to women in perimenopause and beyond. We believe no one should have to navigate these midlife changes alone. 

What Makes the Menovation App Unique

After helping more than 80,000 women through her pre- and postnatal Strong Like a Mother (SLAM)  app, founder Ashley Nowe, realized that there was woefully little information for women entering the next phase of life.

In collaboration with the expert trainers, physical therapists, and women’s health specialists, as well as physician and educators, Ashley set out on a mission to provide midlife women with the tools to stay strong and learn about their changing body. 

Our team spent well over a year developing a science- and evidence-based app to help you take back control of your body in perimenopause. From fitness to nutrition to health tips, Menovation is designed to alleviate menopausal symptoms, boost energy, and improve your mental and emotional health. 

We launched the app in September 2025, offering a sneak peak to members of our SLAM community. 

What Early App Users Are Saying

One user shared, “I LOVE THIS PROGRAM. I’ve been doing SLAM for about 3 years now, so I’m already a huge fan of Ashley’s programming. But I was craving heavier weightlifting & fewer reps…. MAM30 has been *chef’s kiss* – exactly what I was hoping for. Also excited for the education on perimenopause as I’m slowly entering this next disgustingly sweaty phase of life!”

Talk about a compliment. 

We are SO PROUD of the work we’re doing, but it’s our community that tells the real story.

Our early users came to Menovation for a range of reasons – whether they were in full-blown perimenopause, wanted to focus on heavy lifting to improve bone density, or to keep tabs on wonky period cycles and symptoms. 

Some of the feedback we’ve collected so far: 

• I finally found an app that does it all! There are literally zero resources that have everything needed to survive and thrive in perimenopause. Workouts are 🔥, nutrition and recipes are amazing, and all the education is fantastic. I’m so grateful I to be able to go somewhere I can trust the info being shared ☺️- Aeranker
• Perimenopause can feel disorienting and disheartening. This app gives you the support you need to navigate your way through what’s happening in your body and feel STRONGER. I was a SLAM subscriber, and I happened to be at the start of perimenopause when Menovation launched, so I enthusiastically hopped aboard. I’m so glad I did. – Ommmmmmmmmmm
• Fitness, nutrition, pelvic floor health, lifestyle, mental health, plus all the tips in one app. This is the place for everything perimenopausal women need to thrive… It’s a beautiful sequel to SLAM. There’s nothing like it out there. Ashley and her team took us through pregnancy, postpartum, and have done it again! – KeSquared
• The videos and tips and workout options and support – it’s so gentle. So wise. So practical. I feel capable and challenged. And upheld and normal all at the same time. I know you sacrifice so much time for your work – please know it is such good work. I am so grateful. 🩷🩷- KatieB3g1b
• Menovation is easy to navigate, with clear instructions and plenty of ways to customize your routine and intensity level. The color scheme is gorgeous and the period tracker is such a helpful tool. I’m excited to begin this next chapter in my health journey. Ashley did an amazing job – Menovation truly equals motivation! – Emmmaz02
• This new app fits my busy lifestyle and age perfectly and I am loving it so far. I love that I can build a weekly schedule of short workouts that incorporate strength training in addition to other forms of exercise that are so important! – Zibby G.

And this is just the start! 

We’re taking notes and making tweaks as the comments come in. We take our community’s feedback seriously, so we can continue to grow and support YOUR needs. 

This Menovation member echoed this with her experience: 

“I’ve used this company’s other app (SLAM) for years and LOVE IT. I’d never found another program I’ve stuck with and loved so much, so now that they made one for this new phase of life, I’m hooked. You truly need to try and also know, the app developers are the best, they are constantly updating and improving based on our feedback… It’s truly just the best.” – Marinad05

Coming Soon to Menovation

We have so many exciting ideas for building out and expanding the app. In the coming weeks and months, we plan to add more workouts – extending our strength, barre, and yoga programs. We are also putting together new stretch, mobility, and other programs specifically tailored for perimenopausal and menopausal bodies. 

A varied and nutritious diet is critical in every life stage, but nutrition needs change in perimenopause. (Meno belly, what?) We hear you! This is why Menovation includes expert nutrition guidance, simple strategies, and hundreds of easy, delicious recipes. 

Since many early Menovation users came to us from our sister app, SLAM, we also know they love to incorporate our recipes and weekly meal plans into their busy lives. We’re building out our database and nutrition tips to include even more nourishing, stage-specific recipes to fuel your body during perimenopause and beyond.

We look forward to offering fitness and nutrition challenges, and more deep dives on the latest research with our experts. We plan to expand features in our symptom tracker, add fitness benchmarking, and so much more! 

Our goal is for Menovation to be a one stop shop for all things midlife.
