Strength training for women over 50 that actually works. Expert personal trainers, private studios, and programs designed around the way your body changes after 50 — not against it. In Palm Desert, La Quinta & Palm Springs.
We train men and women over 40 — but more than half our members are women, and many found us specifically because they needed something different than what big box gyms offer.
Women over 50 face fitness challenges that most gyms ignore. Menopause changes your metabolism, your hormones, your sleep, and your body composition. Bone density drops. Muscle loss accelerates. The workout that worked at 35 doesn't work at 55. And walking on a treadmill for 45 minutes isn't going to fix it.
Our certified personal trainers understand these changes because it's all we do. We train adults 40+ exclusively — and we've helped hundreds of women over 50 build strength, lose weight, and feel better than they have in decades.
Our semi-private training format means you'll work out in small groups of up to 6 people — your trainer knows your name, your goals, and exactly how to push you safely.
No intimidation. No crowds. Just you, your trainer, and up to 5 other adults.
Certified trainers who specialize in fitness for adults 40+.
Professional assisted stretching for flexibility & recovery.
Personalized guidance for women's health & hormones.
The changes your body goes through after 50 — menopause, bone loss, muscle loss, metabolism slowdown — all respond directly to strength training.
Women lose up to 20% of bone density in the years after menopause. Strength training is one of the only exercises proven to increase bone density and reduce osteoporosis risk.
Muscle burns 6-10x more calories than fat at rest. Building lean muscle through strength training for women over 50 reverses the metabolic slowdown that causes weight gain after menopause.
Regular strength training reduces hot flashes, improves sleep quality, stabilizes mood swings, and reduces the visceral belly fat that accumulates during menopause.
Women consistently report more energy, better mood, and dramatically improved confidence within the first few weeks of consistent strength training.
Strength training improves cognitive function, reduces brain fog, and lowers the risk of dementia. Your brain benefits as much as your body from resistance exercise.
Strong muscles act as shock absorbers for your joints. Women who strength train report less knee pain, less back pain, and better mobility than those who don't.
