Living Strong Fitness Studio

TRAIN FOR THE LIFE YOU STILL WANT TO LIVE

Living Strong is a longevity-focused fitness studio built around small-group training, personal attention and measurable progress.

Our classes are intentionally limited to just eight clients, giving you the energy of a group with the individualized guidance of a more personal training experience.

This is not exercise for appearance alone. It is intelligent training designed to help you build strength, preserve muscle, improve cardiovascular fitness and remain capable for decades to come.

MUSCLE IS YOUR LONGEVITY RESERVE

Muscle influences far more than strength. It supports glucose regulation, metabolism, bone health, balance, mobility and resilience during illness and aging.

Without intentional training, strength, power and lean mass can gradually decline—often before the change becomes obvious.

Living Strong focuses on the physical abilities that protect long-term independence:

• Strength

• Muscle mass

• Cardiovascular fitness

• Power

• Balance

• Mobility

• Coordination

• Endurance

• Confidence

We are not training only for today. We are building the body you will depend on later.

SMALL-GROUP TRAINING. MAXIMUM ATTENTION.

Living Strong classes are limited to a maximum of eight clients.

That means your coach can:

• Learn your abilities and limitations

• Monitor your form

• Modify movements when necessary

• Progress your exercises appropriately

• Help select the right resistance

• Track your improvement

• Keep you engaged and accountable

You receive the motivation and community of a class without disappearing into a crowded room.

Maximum Eight Clients

Every class is capped to preserve coaching quality and personal attention.

Individual Modifications

Exercises can be adjusted for your current fitness, mobility and experience.

Progressive Programming

Your training evolves as your strength, confidence and capacity improve.

Longevity-Focused Coaching

The goal is not simply to exhaust you. Every session is designed to develop abilities that matter outside the studio.

WHAT WE TRAIN

Strength

Build the capacity to lift, carry, push, pull and move with control.

Muscle Preservation

Use progressive resistance training to help protect lean mass through midlife and beyond.

Power

Train the ability to produce force quickly—an important but frequently neglected component of healthy aging.

Balance

Challenge stability, coordination and body awareness to support confident movement.

Mobility

Develop usable range of motion and improve the ability to move through everyday tasks.

Cardiovascular Fitness

Strengthen the systems responsible for delivering and using oxygen during activity.

Core Stability

Build the control needed to transfer force, protect movement and support daily activities.

Functional Capacity

Train for the demands of real life: stairs, travel, lifting, carrying, getting off the floor and keeping up with the people you love.

DESIGNED FOR REAL PEOPLE

You do not need to be fit before joining Living Strong.

Our studio is designed for adults who want to become stronger, move better and take a more intentional approach to aging.

Living Strong may be appropriate for:

• Adults beginning strength training

• Adults returning after a long break

• People over 40 focused on healthy aging

• Women navigating perimenopause or menopause

• Adults using medical weight-management treatment

Medical clearance may be required based on your history, symptoms or planned exercise intensity.

PERSONAL TRAINING

YOUR GOALS. YOUR BODY. YOUR SESSION.

Personal training provides dedicated one-on-one coaching built entirely around you.

Your trainer can focus on:

• Strength development

• Muscle preservation

• Balance and mobility

• Exercise technique

• Confidence in the gym

MEASURE BEFORE YOU GUESS

Living Strong can integrate objective testing to help establish your starting point and guide your program.

DEXA Total-Body Composition

Measure total and regional fat, lean tissue, estimated visceral fat and bone mineral.

VO₂ Max Testing

Measure how effectively your body takes in, delivers and uses oxygen during exercise.

Resting Metabolic Rate

Measure the energy your body uses at rest to support more personalized nutrition planning.

Strength and Mobility Assessment

Evaluate movement, balance, strength and functional capacity.

Testing is selected according to your goals and is not required for every participant.

DEXA + LIVING STRONG

The scale cannot tell you whether you are gaining muscle or losing it.

DEXA provides a more meaningful way to follow changes in:

• Total lean mass

• Arm and leg lean mass

• Left-to-right balance

• Total body fat

• Regional fat

• Estimated visceral fat

• Bone mineral

For clients using medical weight-management treatment, DEXA is especially valuable because weight loss can include both fat and lean tissue.

The goal is not simply to become lighter. It is to become metabolically healthier and physically stronger.

VO₂ MAX + LIVING STRONG

VO₂ max testing establishes your cardiorespiratory baseline and helps identify more individualized exercise intensities.

Your results may guide:

• Aerobic base training

• Recovery intensity

• Moderate cardiovascular work

• Higher-intensity intervals

• Threshold training

• Progress reassessment

Instead of relying only on generic age-based formulas, we can use measured physiology to help make cardiovascular training more precise.

TRAINING DURING MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS

Weight-management medication can reduce appetite and body weight—but medication alone does not preserve muscle.

Living Strong combines progressive resistance training with appropriate nutrition support to help clients prioritize:

• Lean-mass preservation

• Adequate protein

• Strength

• Bone-loading exercise

• Functional capacity

• Sustainable fitness habits

Medication may change your weight. Training helps protect the body you want to keep.

TRAINING FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect muscle, bone, body composition, sleep and recovery.

A well-designed training program can emphasize:

• Progressive strength development

• Muscle preservation

• Bone-loading activity

• Balance

• Power

• Cardiovascular fitness

• Appropriate recovery

Programs are individualized according to experience, health history and goals.

WHAT A CLASS MAY INCLUDE

Every class is coach-led and may combine:

1. Movement preparation

2. Mobility and activation

3. Progressive strength exercises

4. Functional movement patterns

5. Balance or power development

6. Cardiovascular conditioning

7. Core stability

8. Recovery and cooldown

Exercises and intensity vary by class and individual ability. A smaller class does not mean an easier class—it means a more appropriately coached one.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

Your Living Strong experience begins with understanding where you are today.

Your first visit may include:

• Health and exercise-history review

• Discussion of goals

• Movement screening

• Baseline strength assessment

• Balance and mobility observations

• Review of injuries or limitations

• Class or personal-training recommendation

• Discussion of optional DEXA, VO₂ max or RMR testing

We then help you choose the most appropriate starting point.

PROGRESS WITHOUT PUNISHMENT

A successful workout does not need to leave you unable to move for three days.

Living Strong emphasizes the amount of challenge required to create adaptation while respecting recovery, experience and medical considerations.

Our approach is:

• Progressive

• Measurable

• Sustainable

• Individualized

• Technique-driven

• Appropriate for your current capacity

Consistency changes the body more effectively than occasional punishment.

MORE THAN A FITNESS CLASS

Small-group training provides structure, but community helps make that structure sustainable.

With only eight clients per class, you are known. Your coach notices when you progress, when an exercise needs modification and when you need encouragement.

You are not entering a room full of strangers following a screen.

You are joining a coached studio where your goals matter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to be fit before joining?

No. Exercises can be modified for your current ability. The purpose of joining is to build fitness—not prove that you already have it.

How many people are in each class?

Every small-group class is limited to a maximum of eight clients.

Is this the same as personal training?

No. Small-group training provides individualized coaching within a class of up to eight people. Personal training provides dedicated one-on-one attention.

Can I join if I have an injury?

Possibly, depending on the injury and your current restrictions. We may require medical or physical-therapy clearance. Fitness training does not replace rehabilitation.

Is Living Strong only for older adults?

No. It is designed for adults who want to protect long-term physical capacity. The earlier you build strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, the more reserve you can carry into later life.

Will strength training make me bulky?

Building substantial muscle requires specific training, nutrition, genetics and time. For most adults, progressive resistance training improves strength, function and body composition without producing unwanted size.

Can I train while taking a GLP-1 medication?

Often, yes. Resistance training and appropriate nutrition may be particularly important during medical weight loss. Your program should account for symptoms, energy intake, hydration and medical guidance.

How often should I attend?

The appropriate frequency depends on your baseline, goals, schedule and recovery. Many adults benefit from consistent strength training at least twice weekly.

Can I combine classes with personal training?

Yes. Personal training can address specific goals or movement needs, while small-group classes provide consistency and community.

Do you offer testing?

Yes. Optional services include DEXA body composition, VO₂ max, Resting Metabolic Rate and physical-performance assessment.

DON’T JUST ADD YEARS. BUILD THE STRENGTH TO LIVE THEM.
