Blue Barnett
“What really helped me get to epidemic height was all my home workouts. I already had a set of 7.5 pound dumbbells, and I was able to find a 20 pound set at Target (it was literally the last set available!).

“Jiu jitsu has become my mainstay of exercise – and has completely increased my strength, endurance and flexibility. I’ve been taking jiu jitsu classes consistently two or three times a week for almost a year now.”

Pam Jackson
“I live in Toronto, Canada, so when the weather cooperates, I paddle five days a week with the Makako Outrigger Club. It’s still my passion, but strength training is now my priority to build muscle and maintain bone health.”

Cumber Myers
“For years after that, I attended various fitness classes around New York City. Then, a friend I met at Barry’s Boot Camp introduced me to my current gym, Tone House. It was there that I discovered how much I enjoyed strength training—and I knew I wanted to get stronger. It wasn’t until my 40s when I finally started a regular strength program.”

Pamela Coyle
“I actually started working with Amanda Lim, a mid-life strength coach. Over time, the instruction, consistency, and focus on proper form and nutrition changed my routine and my body. I visibly saw more muscle definition, my body fat decreased, I felt more empowered in my daily activities, and I was more confident.”

Rebecca Goat
“I was diagnosed with functional neurodegenerative disorder (FND), a chronic condition caused by changes in the way brain networks communicate.
Even though my body felt different every day, I remained committed to moving in ways that worked for me – and my hard work paid off. After several months of continuous training, I felt empowered in my abilities to move through life well despite my disability.

Chilita Hall
“At first, switching from running to resistance training was hard on my knees. I had driven them into the ground (literally) from all the mileage, and they were stiff and swollen. After a month of less running and more strength training to build my lower body, my knee pain was completely gone.”

Neha Verma
“Trust me, there are times when I’m tired or bored and don’t want to exercise, but I’ve developed the discipline to stick to my goals. Some days it’s lifting heavy, some days it’s walking 10,000 steps and preparing meals for the week, but counting and both keep me going.”

Marcia Allen
“I saw a woman on Facebook who had an amazing physical transformation after completing a 75-minute challenge. The challenge involved exercising twice a day for 45 minutes (one outside), eating healthy, drinking a gallon of water a day, reading 10 pages a day, and taking progress photos for 75 days.

Jane Dorman
“My cancer diagnosis and entering menopause required a conscious approach to fitness. What had worked for me for years was no longer producing the same results. What did I change? I didn’t stop training; I just slowed down.”
