Welcome to 50 Plus Fitness Christchurch
When Fitness Starts to Slip Away
​
You Didn’t Mean to Slow Down — It Just Happened
​
Life got busy.
Work got demanding.
Fitness used to fit in easily, but over time, priorities shifted.
The long hours, the meetings, the family commitments — they all added up, and your own wellbeing quietly slipped down the list.
​
Now, you’re noticing the signs: your energy isn’t what it used to be, getting out of bed feels stiffer, and strength that once came naturally takes real effort.
​
You’ve Tried to Get Back on Track — But Nothing Sticks
​
Maybe you’ve joined a gym, gone for walks, or tried home workouts.
But without structure, it’s hard to stay consistent. Motivation fades, and it’s easy to give up when you don’t see results right away.
​
And those fitness spaces filled with younger, high-intensity crowds? They can feel overwhelming, not motivating. You want something that meets you where you are — not a class that leaves you sore, frustrated, or feeling out of place.
​
The Real Issue: Losing Strength and Confidence
​
From your 30s onward, muscle loss and slower recovery start creeping in — and by your 50s or 60s, you feel it.
​
This isn’t about laziness or lack of willpower; it’s biology. Without the right kind of exercise, you lose muscle, balance, and endurance — and that can limit how you live, move, and feel every day.
​
If nothing changes, that slow decline continues. Everyday activities start feeling harder, energy dips lower, and it’s easier to let things slide.

Mission Statement
“My purpose as a personal trainer goes far beyond what I’ve learnt in courses.
​
It’s about creating a ripple effect in people’s lives — starting with the individuals I work with, extending to the health benefits they gain, and flowing into their quality of life, their families, and even future generations.
Fitness isn’t just about strength or stamina, it’s about legacy — helping people live better, longer, and setting an example to those around them to do the same.”

​I believe that women over 50 need to focus on their health and wellness. My coaching gives them time to learn about ways to improve fitness and have more movement in their lives – and make it fun too!
​​​
This is different as it also includes physical movement. No fancy diets in this programme, or calorie restricting and quick weight loss numbers as we know it does not work. Learn ways to manage how you eat and the sensible ways to control your food.
​​
Move more to fight those ageing health problems. Unfortunately men have this notion that everything is ok, but most times its about sharing experiences. Exercise is one way of bonding and sharing your thought and concerns.
