Palm Desert's go-to studio for adults over 40 who want real coaching, not a gym membership they never use. Located off Country Club Drive near El Paseo, our certified trainers work with men and women from Sun City, Indian Ridge, Ironwood, and Rancho Mirage in semi-private sessions of 6 or fewer. Strength training, weight loss, senior fitness, stretch therapy, and nutrition coaching — all designed for the 40+ body.
Our Palm Desert studio on Country Club Drive is where adults 40+ come to get serious about their health — without the intimidation of a commercial gym. This is a private training facility. No crowds, no waiting for equipment, no 20-year-olds blasting headphones next to you. Just certified coaches who specialize in the 40+ body, working with small groups in a studio built for focused, effective training.
Our Palm Desert members include women focused on strength building, bone density, and managing menopause-related changes, as well as men working on muscle retention, weight loss, and staying functional as they age. Whether you live in Sun City and want to stay independent at 70, or you're 48 in Indian Ridge and want to feel strong again, your coach builds a plan around your reality — not a generic template.
Beyond personal training, our Palm Desert studio offers stretch therapy for members dealing with chronic tightness, post-surgical recovery, or simply wanting better mobility. We provide nutrition coaching through Strong Elite Nutrition because training alone won't get you there. And for the golfers in Desert Willow, Bighorn, and Ironwood, our golf fitness program builds rotational power and protects the joints that take a beating on the course.
Real people, real results from our Palm Desert location
How our Palm Desert members get personal training results without the personal training price tag
With only 6 people per session, your Palm Desert trainer learns your limitations, tracks your weights, and adjusts every exercise to where you are today — not where someone else is.
Our Palm Desert members show up because their group expects them to. It's not a class you disappear into — it's a team that notices when you're missing.
Your coach rotates programming to keep your body adapting and your mind engaged. Strength days, conditioning days, mobility work — it's all mapped out for you.
Private personal training in Palm Desert runs $80-$120 per hour. Our semi-private model gives you real coaching, real programming, and real results at a third of the cost.
Joint replacements, arthritis, back issues, menopause — our trainers work with these realities daily. Every movement is chosen with your safety and longevity in mind.
No crowds, no mirrors full of twentysomethings, no waiting for machines. Our Country Club Drive studio is a private space for adults who want focused training.

This is exactly who we serve. A large portion of our Palm Desert members are women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s working on strength, bone density, menopause fitness, and weight management. Your coach understands the hormonal and physical changes you're going through and builds your program around them. We also have a dedicated Training for Women program.
We work with members post-knee replacement, post-hip surgery, with chronic back pain, arthritis, and more — every week. Your trainer assesses your limitations in your first session and modifies every exercise accordingly. We also offer stretch therapy for members who need focused flexibility and recovery work.
Yes — our 14-Day Jump Start gives you 4-6 coached sessions over two weeks. You'll meet your trainer, go through a goal-setting consultation, and get a feel for the studio and community. Most Palm Desert members who try the Jump Start stay on as regular members.
At a big-box gym, you get a keycard and equipment access. At Strong Republic, every session is coached by a certified trainer who knows your name, your injuries, and your program. Sessions are capped at 6 people. You get a custom nutrition plan. And the entire studio is designed for adults 40+ — no loud music, no intimidation, no figuring it out alone.
