Kerrie lost two stone using the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app after gaining weight while training for a 100km charity walk
A woman who was struggling with confidence after gaining weight during training for a 100km charity walk, found help through a wall Pilates app. Kerrie had expected to feel more toned, fitter and lighter as a result of the walk in May 2024 but in fact, she felt the opposite.
Kerrie says she “put weight on during the six months training for the event and suffered with menopausal aching all the time”, and she saw her body, metabolism and confidence changed by the hormonal changes of menopause. That was when she found the Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, which she signed up for in the hope that “it would help ease aches and pains”.
Fast forward to less than a year on, and Kerrie is more than two stone lighter and her old clothes are hanging off her. The Reverse Health Wall Pilates app, designed by nutritionist Matt Jones and women’s health coach Monika Friedman, creates personalised and easy fitness and weight loss plans for women over 40.

“The first photo was taken in May 2024, just after my walking challenge,” Kerrie says of her before-and-after shots. “The second photo was taken in the same T-shirt.”
The brand aims to help users: “Discover a new way to enhance your Pilates practice using a wall for support and deeper engagement. Improve posture, build lean muscle, and increase flexibility with guided routines suitable for beginners and experienced users alike.”

I’ve certainly learned a lot two weeks in and I do feel more energetic and positive. I’m on the right track to get fitter and healthy.”
