Personal Trainer Basingstoke —
For the Over 40s
Feel stronger, move better, live longer.
After 40, recovery takes longer, excess weight is more stubborn to shift, and that joint stiffness in the morning wasn't there only a few years back.
But it doesn't have to stay that way.
At the Fit Coach, I can help you lose weight, build strength, move freely and manage pain — all backed by 30 years of proven results.

Everything changes after 40.
Your training should too.
Lose Weight
Weight becomes more stubborn to shift after 40. We use a smarter, sustainable approach that actually works.
Build Strength
Functional real-world strength that carries into daily life and keeps you independent longer.
Improve Mobility
Move freely again. Reduce stiffness and restore range of motion -- often from the very first session.
Manage Pain
Train safely around injury, sciatica or chronic pain. No guesswork, no risk.
Beginners Fitness
New to training? Explore beginner-friendly programmes designed for the over 40s, over 50s and 60s+.
After 40, most people don't need more motivation. They need someone who understands what their body is actually doing right now - and builds from there.
Not a generic plan. Not advice that ignores a decade of history. A programme that starts with you - where you are, what you're carrying, and what you actually want from the next ten years.
We start slow and build properly - learning to move well, getting comfortable in the gym, and putting a foundation under you that everything else stands on. Once that's solid, many clients move on to Strength Training.

Strength Training
Strength programmes built around what changes in your 40s, 50s and 60s+.
Already active and want more than random exercises and a step count? Strength training is the next step - and after 40, I'd argue it's essential.
You get stronger, but you also build resilience to fatigue and injury, protect your joints, and keep the muscle that keeps you capable.

Mobility & Flexibility
Stiff hips. A back that doesn't bend like it used to. Balance that isn't what it was. Mobility work isn't a separate programme - it's built into everything I do with beginners and strength clients alike.

Rehab
Injury doesn't mean stopping. It means training differently until you don't have to. I work with clients recovering from pain, surgery, and old injuries that never quite healed.

Healthy Eating
Losing weight, maintaining it, or building muscle - what you eat matters as much as how you train. Nutrition guidance is built into coaching where it's needed, not sold as a separate add-on.
