Key Benefits

Periodized Programming That Prevents Plateaus

Your program cycles through accumulation, intensification, and deload phases so your body is always adapting. This structured approach prevents the stalling that happens when you repeat the same routine month after month.

Technique Coaching on Every Major Lift

Trevor provides hands-on cueing for squat depth, deadlift hip hinge mechanics, pressing paths, and bracing patterns. Proper technique means heavier loads with less joint stress over time.

Real-World Strength and Functional Capability

Multi-joint, multi-plane exercises build strength that transfers directly to daily life. Loaded carries, rotational work, and single-leg variations develop the balance, coordination, and core stability that make everything outside the gym feel easier — from navigating subway stairs to playing with your kids.

Improved Balance, Coordination, and Joint Health

Functional movement training challenges your proprioception and stabilizer muscles. Better balance means fewer injuries, better athletic performance, and more confidence in your body. Training through full ranges of motion keeps joints healthy and mobile.

Measurable Progress You Can Track

Every session is logged. You will see your squat go from 95 pounds to 185, your deadlift climb, and your pressing improve. Objective numbers keep motivation high and guesswork out of the equation.

Who This Is For

Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause-related changes
Women who want to build bone density and prevent osteoporosis
Women looking to regain strength and confidence after 40

Frequently Asked Questions

Is strength training safe for women over 40?

Yes — strength training is not only safe but strongly recommended. The National Osteoporosis Foundation and ACSM both recommend progressive resistance training for women over 40 to build bone density and prevent osteoporotic fractures. A 2017 study in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research found that high-intensity resistance training improved bone density at the hip and spine in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. Trevor programs appropriate loads and progressions for your fitness level.

Can personal training help with menopause-related weight gain?

Resistance training is one of the most effective strategies for managing body composition during menopause. It preserves and builds lean muscle tissue, which raises resting metabolic rate. Combined with Trevor's nutrition guidance, clients typically see improved body composition — less body fat, more lean mass — within the first 8-12 weeks of consistent training.

Will I be training alongside younger, more experienced clients?

No. All sessions with Trevor are private, one-on-one. Your program is designed specifically for your body, goals, and experience level. There is no competition and no intimidation — just focused coaching tailored to you.
