In-Studio Training: Private Fitness Training for Adults Over 40

Feel Strong, Balanced, and Supported—One Session at a Time

If group classes feel overwhelming—or you’re looking for a personalized, joint-friendly approach—my private fitness training is for you.

In my Silver Spring studio, I work 1-on-1 with midlife and older adults to help you:

  • Stay consistent without burnout
  • Rebuild strength and improve mobility
  • Ease joint pain and stiffness
  • Boost energy and stamina

What to Expect

Every session is tailored to your body and goals, using a mix of:

  • Pilates equipment (Reformer & Cadillac)
  • Strength training
  • Balance and flexibility work
  • Lifestyle strategies to keep you moving outside the studio

You’ll get full attention, expert guidance, and a plan that works for you—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

Is This Right for You?

This is a great fit if you’re:

  • Over 40 and looking for smarter, safer ways to exercise
  • Dealing with joint pain, stiffness, or past injuries
  • New to fitness and want a gentle, supportive start
  • Coming back after time off and want accountability

Next Step

I offer single sessions, packages, and ongoing support depending on your needs.
