Functional Strength & Mobility 50+
Move Better, Feel Stronger & Stay Balanced
Move Better, Feel Stronger, and Trust Your Body Again
Stiffness, aches, and loss of mobility don’t have to be part of aging. My coaching helps adults 50+ build lasting strength, flexibility, and balance—without high-impact workouts or one-size-fits-all fitness plans.
Using a blend of functional strength, mobility work, and mindful movement, we’ll create a tailored approach that meets you exactly where you are—so you can move with confidence, reduce pain, and regain trust in your body
This isn’t about extreme poses or intense training. It’s about moving in a way that feels good, supports longevity, and allows you to enjoy life on your terms.
Why Functional Strength & Mobility Coaching?
Most adults 50+ start to notice everyday things getting harder — getting off the floor, carrying groceries, walking up stairs without pain or stiffness.
That’s where Functional Strength & Mobility Coaching comes in: A personalized, low-impact approach that helps you feel stronger, more stable, and confident in the movements that matter most.
✔ Improve strength, flexibility, and balance – So you feel more in control of your body
✔ Increase mobility and stability – So you can move confidently and prevent falls
✔ Reduce stiffness, aches, and joint pain – and regain ease in your everyday life
✔ Build calm & focus – With gentle & mindful movement integrated with the breath to support nervous system health
✔ Stay active and independent – Whether that means getting off the floor, keeping up with grandkids, or aging with strength
You don’t need to be flexible. You don’t need to be fit. You just need the willingness to start.
How Tailored Coaching Works!
This isn’t just a workout class — it’s a personalized coaching experience designed around your body, goals, and movement needs. Here’s how we’ll work together

1. Assessment & Goal Setting
We start with a conversation about your current strength, mobility, and lifestyle — so I can understand what matters most to you.
-
2. Customized Plan
I design a plan based on where you are now, using a blend of functional strength and mindful mobility practices tailored to your goals. Every movement is modified for your comfort, challenge level, and needs.
-
3. Private 1:1 Sessions
We meet virtually for guided sessions that build lasting strength, improve balance, and support confident, pain-free movement — with expert guidance every step of the way.
-
4. Ongoing Support
You’ll get email access between sessions for quick guidance, answers, or a custom video—so you’re never left stuck or guessing.
As you grow, your plan grows too. This is about building progress that lasts.
Real Stories, Real Results!
See what’s possible with personalized coaching that meets you exactly where you are.
When Emma first started, she felt stiff, off balance, and unsure how to move safely. Now, with personalized strength and mobility coaching, she moves with ease, feels more confident in her body—and carries a deep sense of calm into her daily life.
Mooneen never thought of herself as athletic—but at 78, she’s stronger and more confident than she was at 65. With personalized coaching, she’s doing planks, improving posture, and inspiring those around her. It’s never too late to feel better in your body—and grow stronger, inside and out.

You’re not just getting stronger—you’re building the foundation for a more grounded, calm, and confident life. This work supports your nervous system, reduces stress, and helps you feel good inside and out.
When I was 19, my father had a massive heart attack at just 53 years old—the same age my grandmother was when she passed from heart failure. That moment changed everything and became the reason I’ve dedicated my life to helping adults 50+ live longer, healthier, and more purposeful lives.
With a Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology and deep experience in functional movement and rehabilitation, I’ve helped hundreds of older adults regain strength, mobility, and confidence—often surpassing what they thought was possible.
My coaching is science-backed, supportive, and completely customized to your body and lifestyle—so you can move better, feel better, and stay independent as you age.

Hear directly from Nancy, one of our long-time clients, as she shares her advice for adults considering personalized coaching after 50:
-
Not at all. Most clients start as beginners. Whether you’ve never lifted weights or haven't stretched in years, I’ll meet you exactly where you are—with step-by-step support.
-
Virtual coaching is easier than most people expect. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer and a bit of space to move. I’ll guide you live, demonstrate exercises, and give real-time feedback just like I would in person.
Many of my clients actually prefer it — no commute, no stress, and you can stay consistent even while traveling.
🔹 Want to see what it’s like?
Here’s a video of my 78-year-old client, Mooneen, sharing her experience with virtual coaching: -
That’s exactly why this approach works. Everything is personalized. I work with people dealing with arthritis, back pain, joint replacements, and more—using safe, effective strategies to improve mobility and reduce pain over time.
For example prior to my client Emma starting with coaching - her back hurt so much she was bent nearly in half and could no longer walk without a cane. Now she is moving with confidence again!
-
Most clients start with 2-3 sessions per week for the best results, but I tailor the frequency based on your goals and lifestyle.
-
Nope. Many clients start with just a chair, yoga mat, or towel. Over time, we might add light hand weights or resistance bands—but I’ll guide you on what (if anything) is needed as you progress.
-
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all workout. It’s personalized coaching for your body, your goals, and your long-term health. You’ll feel the difference in how supported, seen, and capable you feel.

Staying Strong at 78—With Virtual Coaching That Works!
“I wasn’t sure how virtual coaching would work at first, but honestly—it’s been absolutely wonderful. Joel watches every movement I make and gives me immediate feedback on what to adjust. It’s just like being in person, and I’ve actually found it even more convenient.
I’m stronger now than I was in my 60s, and I never imagined doing some of the things I can do now—like push-ups, planks, and lifting 20-pound weights. It’s not just about strength—it’s about having someone who truly knows what your body needs and helps you get there safely and effectively. I would recommend Joel to anyone.”

Getting Up Off The Ground With Ease at 77!
"Before working with Joel, I got to the point where I was walking at a 90 degree angle. I tried classes, but they didn't work for me, because I had too many aches and pains!
Then I found Joel and I cannot believe the change in a year...At one point the doctor wanted me to get off a chair and I said "no way". Well now Joel has me doing it 20 times without touching the arms of the chair and I'm so grateful.
Now If I fall I can get up and I have some muscles!”
