Our Programs

Three steps to get strong after 50.

New to exercise, or coming back after years away? You are in the right place. We start exactly where you are, in your home or your building’s gym, with a trainer who builds everything around you.

Not sure where to start? Your first step is a complimentary 15 minute consultation. No pressure, no pitch.

At Women’s Fitness Over 50, we believe the years after 50 can be your strongest. It starts with a complimentary 15 minute consultation, then a five session Strong Start, then private training that carries on after it, with the same trainer. Every step is built for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the years that follow.

Your trainer comes to you, to your home or your building’s gym, and brings everything needed. You will talk through your health history, any injuries or worries, and what you want to be able to do. Then you will try a few simple movements so we can see how you move today. There is nothing to pass and no experience needed.

Common Questions

Everything you’re wondering.

I haven’t worked out in years (or ever). Is this really for me?
Absolutely, and you’re in the majority. Most of our clients are returning to fitness or starting fresh after 50. Every program meets you exactly where you are and progresses at your pace.
I’m in perimenopause or menopause. Will this work for my body?
This is exactly who we’re built for. Our programming accounts for hormonal shifts, joint sensitivity, sleep changes, recovery needs, and the specific adaptations women 45+ require. Generic programs completely ignore them.
What if I have joint pain, injuries, or osteoporosis?
We work with these realities every day. Your program is built around your specific body and your history. We’ve trained women through knee replacements, hip surgery, back issues, and osteoporosis diagnoses.
What happens after The Strong Start?
Most women keep going with the same trainer and the same program, choosing how many sessions to plan ahead. You can see the options on the Strong Start page.
Do I have to commit to anything long?
No. You begin with The Strong Start: five sessions within 21 days. After that you choose how many sessions to plan ahead, and you can pause or cancel anytime with one email.
Do you train outside Manhattan?
We train in person in Manhattan, New York City. If you are outside Manhattan, send us a note and we will let you know what we can do.
Who are my trainers?
All coaches come from Type A Training, Manhattan’s leading in-home personal training service, operating since 2002. Every trainer is nationally certified (NASM, ACE, or NSCA), vetted, and brings specialized knowledge and ongoing education in training women through midlife.

I was coming off of a lower back injury. The dedication and care that went into my personalized workout got me back in shape while strengthening my core and alleviating all pain. Currently, I work with Sigal who has changed my body. I have muscles!!! Who knew?!?
