Midlife Personal Training for Women | Lynn Montoya Fitness
Strength isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Old-school strength training with a modern twist—
backed by science to build muscle, burn fat and boost metabolic health at any age
Train smart. Age strong.
The New Midcentury Standard: Strong, Capable, Designed to Last
At 40, they tell you to slow down. At 50, to be careful. By 60? You’re herded into some watered-down “senior” workout that wouldn’t challenge a toddler.
Here’s the truth: midlife strength training isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about building strength that lasts.
Joints don’t wear out from use—they wear out from neglect. And muscles don’t disappear with age. They vanish because nobody told you to pick up something heavy and keep going.
This is strength training designed to last.
Built for midlife. Backed by science. Delivered with purpose.
“Aging happens, but weakness doesn’t have to! If you want to be the woman who’s lifting grandkids, traveling, and moving like a boss at 80, you’ve got to build that strength now. I promise you, it’s not as hard as you think!” ~ Lynn
Why My Training Is Different—And Smarter
I’ve built my entire approach around one thing: helping women get stronger, move better, and feel good again.
I’ve lived through the hormone shifts, the sleep issues, and the slow creep of muscle loss. I’ve also learned how to reverse it.
Every session—whether in-person or virtual—is personalized to your body, your schedule, and your goals. I make the workouts tough enough to matter—and satisfying enough that you’ll actually want to finish them.
Within weeks, you’ll feel stronger, more capable, and more alive. Stay with it, and you’ll stay strong for the long haul.
And Why Strength Training Is essential After 40…
Muscle loss starts early
Starting in your 30s, you lose 1–2% of muscle every year—a process called sarcopenia. By your 60s, that loss accelerates. Less muscle means more joint pain, more injuries, and more weight gain (even if you’re eating the same).
Strength Fades
Starting in your mid-30s, strength declines about 1.5% a year. Over a decade, that can mean losing a third of your strength — making stairs, chairs, and everyday tasks harder.
Power Declines
Power fades even faster, about 3.5% per year. That’s your ability to move quickly and forcefully, which affects things like catching yourself when you trip or carrying groceries in one go.
Endurance Drops Off
Your cardio capacity shrinks about 10% per decade—so you tire faster and bounce back slower, even from everyday tasks.
Here’s the good news: it’s never too late! Clinical trials show even frail adults over 75 can build significant muscle in just 8 weeks. Imagine what’s possible at 50—with the right training, you can slow down the aging curve, keep doing what you love, and feel good doing it, for decades to come.
Want to keep your muscle, power, and confidence?
That’s what my training is built for.
“I wanted to exercise regularly, but I knew I needed more than what I was doing at home—and I was craving some connection, too. I started with Lynn’s spin class and was nervous I couldn’t keep up, but she met me where I was and always made me feel like I was doing great. Within weeks, I could finish a full class—and actually wanted to sweat.
Since then, I’ve joined her small group strength classes and worked with her one-on-one. I’ve lost weight, my stamina’s up, and my back feels so much better—thanks in part to her tip about using a foam roller. Her weekly health tips helped me lower my cholesterol, and I genuinely look forward to seeing my workout crew every week.
Lynn has your back—and she wants you to thrive.” ~ Kathy
