How I got leaner and stronger at almost 52 than I was at 40. 👉 swipe
Here’s what I need you to know before you scroll: I owned a gym for 15 years and still never felt like I looked or felt the part. Fifteen years surrounded by all of it and I was still stuck. So if you think the thing holding you back is that you don’t know enough, hear me: knowledge was never my problem either.
And I didn’t start when life was easy. There is no easy time.
I committed to a 24-week program right as I was losing my dad. I was flying to Arizona every month to care for him. Right after my 50th birthday, he passed.
I tell you that not for sympathy but because if you’re waiting for the season when everything calms down before you finally show up for yourself, that season doesn’t come. I started in the hardest chapter of my life. And it became the thing that held me together.
So what actually changed it? Not willpower. Not a detox or a 6-week miracle. And no it doesn’t require a stage. It came down to four things, all in these slides:
I finally stopped doing it alone and handed myself over to a coach. Even after 15 years in gyms, even as a coach myself I needed to be led. Even coaches need coaches.
I trained for strength — consistent, progressive, home or gym.
I ate more, not less — structure, not restriction.
And I gave it real time, in the middle of real life.
Because here’s the truth: you’ve already carried so much harder than this. This is just the first time it’s for you.
I’m almost 52. I compete because I love it and that’s my goal, not your requirement. What I’ll help you build is a strong, lean body you get to live in and love all year. For your actual life, not a stage.
If you’ve been telling yourself it’s too late, that you don’t know enough, that your best years are behind you, I’m telling you none of that is true. You might just be getting started.
Built to Last is my once-a-year group for women in midlife who are done starting over. 5 spots. We begin October 12.
DM me IRON if you’re serious about getting serious. We’ve got 100 days to lay a foundation before the rest of the world even starts.
Build with me. And this time, make it last.
