Nellie Barnett
“What really helped me get through the pandemic was all the exercises at home. I already had a set of 7.5 pound dumbbells, and I was able to find a 20 pound set at Target (it was actually the last set available!). Nothing was heavier or lighter. But these two sets really helped me create a balanced workout.

“Jiu jitsu has been an important exercise for me—and has improved my strength, endurance, and stamina. I’ve been consistently taking jiu jitsu classes two to three times a week for almost a year now.”

Pam Jackson
“I live in Toronto, Canada, so if the weather cooperates, I paddle five days a week with the MakaKoa Outrigger club. This is still my passion, but strength training is now my main priority to support muscle growth and maintain bone health.”

Kimber Myers
“For a few years after that I participated in several group fitness classes around New York City. Then, a friend I met at Barry’s Bootcamp introduced me to my current gym, Tone House. It was there that I discovered how much I loved strength training—and I realized I wanted to get stronger. It wasn’t until my 40s that I finally started a consistent strength training routine.”

Pamela Quayle
“I started almost working with Amanda Lim, a midlife strength coach. Over time, guidance, consistency, and focus on proper form and nutrition changed my routine and body. I could clearly see the definition of muscles, body fat decreased, I felt stronger in my daily activities, and I was more confident.”

Rebecca Vizi
“I was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND), a chronic condition caused by changes in the way brain tissue communicates.
Even though my body feels different every day, I’m still committed to moving in a way that works for me—and my hard work is paying off. After a few months of practicing consistently, I feel stronger all around and more confident in my ability to move well through life despite my disability.

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

Neha Verma
“Believe me, there are times when I’m tired or overworked and prefer not to train, but I cultivate self-discipline to stick to my goals. Some days it’s lifting weights, other days going to 10,000 steps and preparing food for the week, but both count and both help me move forward.”

Marcia Allen
“I saw a woman on Facebook who had undergone an amazing physical transformation by completing the 75 Hard Challenge. The challenge involved doing two 45-minute workouts a day (one outdoors), eating healthily, drinking a gallon of water daily, reading 10 pages per day, and taking progress pictures for 75 days. I decided to try it with some of my friends’ Facebook accounts.

Jane Dorman
“My cancer diagnosis and entering menopause required a better approach to fitness. What worked for me for years just didn’t produce the same results anymore. As for what I changed? I didn’t stop exercising; I just slowed down.”
