Ellen’s journey with strength training began shortly after her 60th birthday. Like many people reaching a milestone age, she wanted to take control of her health and build a stronger, more resilient body for the years ahead. With no prior experience in strength training, she wasn’t sure where to begin. Fast forward six years, and Ellen is living proof that it’s never too late to start.
From beginner to confident lifter
When Ellen first stepped into the gym, she was unsure of where to start or how to navigate the equipment. Together, we focused on building her confidence and mastering proper technique. Over time, what once felt unfamiliar became second nature, and today Ellen trains with the confidence of someone who knows her way around the gym.
Health and strength in everyday life
One of the most rewarding parts of Ellen’s progress is how strength training has improved her daily life. Tasks that once felt physically demanding—like carrying shopping bags, climbing stairs, or setting up her caravan trips—are now done with ease. Beyond the physical benefits, Ellen has found that feeling strong is empowering, boosting her confidence and mental well-being in ways that extend far beyond the gym.
Keeping It Fresh (Even After 6 Years!)
After six years of training, one thing is certain: Ellen’s workouts are anything but repetitive. By introducing new exercises, routines, and challenges, I ensure her sessions stay engaging and effective. This variety keeps her motivated, prevents plateaus, and ensures her progress continues year after year. Ellen’s enthusiasm for learning and trying new things has been key to her ongoing success.
Strength for life
Ellen’s story highlights the true power of strength training. It’s not just about building muscle—it’s about improving independence, resilience, and overall quality of life. For anyone approaching or enjoying retirement, staying strong is essential for maintaining health and reducing the risk of injury. Ellen embraced this, and today she feels fitter, stronger, and more capable than she did six years ago.
