Why does strength training matter for women over 40 and 50?

Strength, balance and mobility are what let you keep carrying groceries, luggage or grandkids, and keep playing pickleball, traveling, gardening and hiking. Without regular training, muscle and strength tend to decline with age, and everyday tasks start to feel harder.

Training with Taylor is about feeling strong, steady and confident for years to come, not chasing a number on the scale.

How does Taylor adapt training for your body?

Taylor’s greatest strength as a coach is her attention to movement. She watches how you move, notices where you compensate, and explains what your body is doing and why.

Every exercise can be adjusted to your ability, and technique comes first. Taylor builds a strong foundation before adding more weight, speed or intensity, so you progress safely.

What does a session focus on?

Each 1-on-1 session combines strength, mobility, stability and balance work, with coaching on technique throughout. Sessions take place in a private, fully equipped gym on Fourth Avenue in Hillcrest, without the crowds of a big fitness center. See The Program for how it all fits together.

How much does it cost?

Private 1-hour sessions cost $140 to $180 each, depending on whether you buy a pack of 20, 30 or 40 sessions. A Fall Fitness Special, running through the winter, offers 30 sessions at $95 each. Every client starts with a free consultation. Full details are on the Rates page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is strength training safe for women over 50?

For most women, yes. Strength training is safest when technique comes first and the load increases gradually, which is how Taylor coaches every client. If you have an injury, a medical condition or recent surgery, check with your doctor before starting, and tell Taylor so she can adjust each exercise.

Do I need gym experience to start?

No. Many of Taylor’s clients are returning to exercise or have never lifted weights. Taylor starts where you are, teaches good technique from the first session, and adjusts every exercise to your ability, so you can build strength and confidence at your own pace.

Where do sessions take place?

All sessions are private and 1-on-1 in Taylor’s fully equipped gym at 3969 Fourth Avenue in Hillcrest, San Diego, near Fourth Ave and Washington St. The studio is open 5 AM to 9 PM daily. Call or text (619) 869-1205 to book a free consultation.
