Body Bayou

This summer, we’re excited to roll out workout programs for teens and pre-teens 🙌🏼

Whether your family wants to train together at our gym or your teen needs something structured to follow at home, we’re creating fun programs to help them work toward something meaningful this summer.

This isn’t just for athletes. This is for the teen who needs structure, confidence, discipline, healthy habits, and a reason to get off the couch and their 📱 and move their body.

Strength training teaches more than fitness. It teaches consistency, work ethic, confidence, and how to push through hard things.

If you’d want your teen involved this summer, comment “TEEN” or send us a message and we’ll get you the details when they launch 💪🏼

Rene is 53 and heading into Block 3 of our High Performance Program 🔥

Over the last 6 weeks, we’ve taken her full-body lifts and layered in more conditioning. Helping her not just get stronger, but become more athletic too.

Why this is important: As we age, muscle, balance, bone density, and cardiovascular health naturally decline if we don’t train them. Leaving many people incapable of performing every day tasks without pain, fatigue, or loss of balance.

Rene’s goal is simple: to continue to improve her power output, to keep inspiring other women, and prove that going after big goals doesn’t come with an expiration date.

If you’re in your 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s and you continue to struggle to make your health a priority, don’t wait until it’s too late. Let Rene’s capabilities inspire you to put yourself first now. Send us a DM to talk about your goals.

And don’t worry - everyone’s program looks different here at Body BaYou. We tailor each exercise to your goal and performance level. Don’t let that barbell intimidate you! 😉

3 THINGS I PRIORITIZE TO BUILD A STRONG LOWER BODY

1 — Compound lifts:

This is your foundation. Squats, RDLs, hip thrusts.
These movements load the glutes the most and give you the biggest return. If you’re majoring in band work and avoiding progressive overload, you’re leaving major results on the table.

2 — Stable machines:

When you’re not fighting for stability in your limiting factors (ex: low back in a back squat), you can actually take a set where it needs to go—close to failure. Your injury risk decreases, and you’re more likely to push your muscles as hard as they can handle. That’s where growth happens.

3 — High protein diet:

Training is the stimulus. Protein is the building material. If your intake is low, your body doesn’t have what it needs to repair and grow. So you stay stuck, even if your workouts feel hard.

If you’re struggling to grow muscle and get lean, send me a DM. I’d love to chat with you. ❤️

I’ve witnessed it so many times over the years. Women sit across from me frustrated, even in tears, realizing they’ve waited far too long to start focusing on themselves.

If more women understood these five important reasons to weight train, I truly believe it would remove much of the intimidation that keeps them from starting.

Weightlifting is the answer to most of the struggles women face as they approach 40 and beyond.

When these women sit across from me and I break it down for them, showing them the joy that is set before them through consistently getting stronger, something shifts.

They begin to see what’s possible.
They begin to feel hope again.
They realize the end is not near.

It’s a new beginning.

Stop putting yourself last.

Start building strength, confidence, and momentum.

Message me “STRONG” and I’ll help you take the first step.
