Over 50 · Over 60 · Over 70 · Balance & fall prevention
One coach, one client, in a private studio built for adults 50 to 80+. Strength, balance and fall prevention, coached rep by rep, at a pace set by you — not by a class. Most of our clients had never lifted a weight before they walked in.
Takes about an hour. You won't be asked to work out. We talk through your history, watch how you move, and tell you honestly whether we can help.
Most "balance exercises for seniors" — standing on one foot at the kitchen counter, heel-to-toe walking — train the skill of balancing but not the muscle that catches you. When a foot slips, what saves you is the strength to plant, brace and push back up before the fall finishes. That comes from the hips, thighs and trunk, and it is built with load, not with standing still. We train both: strength first, then balance on top of it.
Ordinary dining chair, arms crossed. Count how many full stand-ups you can do in 30 seconds.
Stand near a counter, lift one foot, don't hold on. Time it. Stop at 30 seconds.
Sit on the floor, then get up. Notice how many hands, knees or pieces of furniture you needed.
These are common screening tests, not a diagnosis, and the cut-offs are population guidelines rather than rules. If any of them worried you, that is exactly what the free assessment is for — we do them properly, with a coach next to you.
A stumble on the stairs, a wobble getting out of the car. Nothing happened, but you noticed, and you'd rather fix it now than after.
Things that used to be automatic are becoming effortful. That is muscle loss, it is normal after 50, and it reverses faster than most people expect.
No classes, no mirrors, no twenty-somethings. A private room, a coach who knows your history, and a program that starts where you are.
Muscle mass declines roughly 3–8% per decade after 30 and faster after 60, and it is the single biggest modifiable driver of falls, fractures and loss of independence. Progressive resistance training reverses it at any age — the research on people in their 70s, 80s and 90s is unambiguous. It just has to be coached properly.
About an hour. No workout, no obligation, no sales pitch with a stopwatch.
Your history, your doctor's guidance, what has changed in the last few years, and what you want back.
How you stand, walk, sit and stand, and reach. What you can do comfortably today — nothing more.
What we'd do, how often, and what it costs — in writing. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
No decision on the day is needed. Book when you're ready, or don't.
