Rancho Mirage has some of the best healthcare in the country. But when it comes to fitness for adults over 40, your options are big box gyms or overpriced one-on-one trainers. We built something better. Strong Republic is the Coachella Valley's only personal training studio designed around the needs of adults in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Our Palm Desert studio is just minutes from Rancho Mirage and serves residents from Thunderbird, Mission Hills, The Springs, Sunrise, and everywhere in between.
Rancho Mirage is full of people who take their health seriously. You've got Eisenhower Health right down the street. World-class doctors, surgeons, and specialists. But when physical therapy ends and your doctor tells you to "keep exercising," where do you actually go? Planet Fitness? A YouTube video? That's where we come in.
Strong Republic is a private personal training studio that works exclusively with adults over 40. Our Palm Desert location on Country Club Drive is a short drive from Rancho Mirage, right off Highway 111. Most of our Rancho Mirage members get here in under 8 minutes. We have men and women from their mid-40s to their late 70s training with us, and a good number of them found us after finishing rehab at Eisenhower or recovering from a procedure. They needed something beyond physical therapy but didn't want a commercial gym where nobody understands their body.
Every session at Strong Republic is coached by a certified trainer who knows your health history, your limitations, and exactly what you're working toward. We offer progressive strength training, senior fitness programs with balance and fall prevention work, stretch therapy for mobility and recovery, nutrition coaching, and golf fitness training for anyone who wants to stay competitive on the course and protect their back while doing it.

Everything is included in your membership. No add-on fees, no surprises.
Six people max per session. Your trainer corrects your form, adjusts your weights, and makes sure every rep counts. This is personal training, not a group fitness class.
Coming off a surgery or finishing physical therapy? We pick up where your PT left off. Our trainers work with hip replacements, knee replacements, shoulder repairs, and back issues every single day.
Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65. Every program includes stability work, coordination drills, and functional movements that keep you steady and confident on your feet.
Tight hips, stiff shoulders, limited range of motion. Our assisted stretching sessions loosen everything up and complement your strength work. Huge difference for golfers and anyone sitting behind a desk.
Your trainer helps you dial in what you eat, not with fad diets but with a practical plan that fits your life. Protein targets, meal timing, hydration. The stuff that actually moves the needle after 40.
Nobody here is 25. Everyone in the room understands bad knees, slow mornings, and what it takes to stay active past 50. That shared experience turns into real friendships and real accountability.

Questions we hear from Rancho Mirage, Thunderbird, and Mission Hills residents
Our closest studio is at 77780 Country Club Dr. Suite A1 in Palm Desert. It's about 5-8 minutes from most Rancho Mirage neighborhoods. Head east on Highway 111, turn right on Country Club Dr. Free parking in the plaza lot. We also have locations in La Quinta and Palm Springs if either is more convenient.
This is one of the most common reasons people from Rancho Mirage come to us. Physical therapy gets you back to baseline, but it doesn't build you past that point. Our trainers work with post-surgical clients regularly, including hip replacements, knee replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and spinal procedures. We'll communicate with your PT or doctor if needed and design a progressive program that picks up right where rehab ended.
Semi-private sessions start at $33 each. We have three plans: Good at $69/week for 4 sessions per month, Better at $89/week for 8 sessions, and Best Value at $99/week for up to 12 sessions. Every plan includes coached training, a custom nutrition plan, and access to stretch therapy. New members can try us out with the 14-Day Jump Start for $149 (4 sessions) or $199 (6 sessions).
You won't need to keep up with anyone. Every person in the session gets their own exercises, their own weights, and their own modifications. We have members in their 70s who started with bodyweight movements and are now lifting weights they never thought possible. Your trainer meets you exactly where you are and builds from there. Read more about our senior fitness programs.
We work with those conditions every single day. Arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, joint replacements. Our trainers are certified in working with all of them and know which exercises help and which to avoid. Strength training is actually one of the best things you can do for bone density and joint health when it's done right.
Yes. A lot of our female members are dealing with hormonal shifts that affect everything from body composition to bone density to energy levels. Our trainers understand those changes and build programs that address them directly. We have a dedicated Training for Women program that covers all of this.
Of course. We have plenty of seasonal members who come back each year. Start with the 14-Day Jump Start when you arrive, then transition to a regular plan for the rest of your stay. Your trainer keeps notes on everything so you pick up right where you left off the next season. No long-term contracts.
Monday through Friday 5am-7pm and Saturday 7am-12pm. Early morning and mid-morning sessions are the most popular with our Rancho Mirage members. Call (760) 766-0934 to find a time that works for you.
Real people from Rancho Mirage and the Coachella Valley. See all reviews.
"After my knee replacement, I needed something beyond PT. The trainers here understood my limitations from day one and built a program that challenged me without pushing too far. I'm stronger now than I was before the surgery."
"I tried three different gyms in the desert before finding Strong Republic. The difference is night and day. The trainers actually know what they're doing with people our age. My wife and I both train here and we look forward to every session."
"I'm a snowbird and this is my third winter training here. Every year I pick up right where I left off. My balance has improved dramatically, I've lost weight, and I honestly feel better at 67 than I did at 55. This place is special."
