50+ Fitness — FAQs
Age alone is not a disqualifier. Your starting point and progression should reflect your individual health and ability — that's exactly what we assess first.
Many adults over 50 train here safely with appropriate coaching and scaling. Anyone with medical concerns should consult their healthcare professional first.
Perfect — you'll learn basic patterns with a coach before any meaningful load is added.
