Pursue Your Passions with Confidence
For as long as health and strength fitness has been around, the spotlight has long shone on younger demographics, but it's time to celebrate the vitality and potential of individuals aged 50 and beyond.
As you enter this stage of life, you’re poised for a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, adventure, and rediscovery. Your best years are still to come!
Pursue Your Passions with Confidence
Shaping the Forefront of Fifty and Fit!
Our mission is to pioneer the boundaries of possibility, regardless of one's starting point. With just half the care and guidance typically afforded to younger individuals, you can achieve feats you never thought possible.
​
Strength training is key to preserving or regaining functionality as we age. Imagine never worrying about kneeling or standing, carrying groceries upstairs, or clearing snow from your driveway.
​
Moreover, strength training enhances bone density, core strength, and balance, reducing the likelihood of falls and fortifying the body against any mishaps.
​
Join our team and experience empowerment, confidence, and sustained energy throughout the day why connecting with a community united by shared aspirations.

OUR EXPERT COACHES
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Led by passionate, experienced trainers, our programs offer a supportive and encouraging environment where you can safely and effectively pursue your fitness goals.
Derek Gelato - Coach/Owner
With nearly two decades of experience as a personal trainer, Derek is deeply committed to helping others build strength and function while always prioritizing safety. His dedication extends to his own training, as he continually works to enhance his physical capabilities, viewing this as a crucial element in refining his skills as a coach.
​
The only thing that rivals Derek’s passion for strength training is his family life. As the father of two incredible boys whom he adores, it’s likely that you’ll hear a story about them from time to time. :-)
Jojo Bastow - Coach
Coach Jojo has been passionate for health and fitness for most of her life. For the last decade she has been dedicated to the industry as she finds it continuously rewarding and inspiring. The relationships mean the most to her. One of the things Coach Jojo finds most fulfilling is being a part of members and clients achieving the goals they set for themselves.
Outside of the gym, Coach Jojo has three young children. They enjoy hiking, camping, and pretty much anything that has to do with the outdoors. Coach Jojo also has a lot of fun crafting, as well as a huge passion for healthy cooking and baking.
Jordan Scrom - Coach
Did someone say hard work and dedication? Coach Jordan is not one to ever back down from a fight - no, literally, Coach Jordan is a Professional Mixed Martial Artist! As he strives to be the best he can be, he needs to understand the ins and outs of Strength Training, as well as the safest and most effective practices.
Coach Jordan is also extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, an invaluable resource when looking to develop better habits.
Anne Hobday - Coach
Passionate, kind, and full of inspiration, Coach Anne can’t help but create joy wherever she goes! Always challenging herself in new ways to grow and expand her knowledge base, one of the things she loves most is helping people see and experience what their potential is.
Whether it’s dancing, running around with the kids or your dog, or going for a spontaneous hike in the woods, Coach Anne believes that with the right Strength Training routine, the possibilities are endless. Outside the gym you can find her practicing yoga (did we mention she has multiple Yoga Teacher Certifications?!), Strength Training, hiking, running or even paddling on her paddle board!
