Still Doing Group Classes After 35? Here’s What You Need to Know
Elite athletic performance is absolutely possible after the age of 35. But, the training looks a lot different than it did at 25yrs old.
Why 35-Year-Old Athletes Can’t Train Like They’re 25 Anymore
And why that’s not a bad thing—it just means it’s time to train smarter.
At 25, you can go hard, bounce back fast, and not think twice about that extra pickup game or bootcamp class. Your joints don’t complain (yet), and you can live off protein bars and coffee and still somehow feel fine.
At 35? It’s a different story.
Why Good Genes Won’t Save You—and Why You Don’t Need Them Anyway
We get this question a lot in the gym; 'How Much Do Genetics Matter for my Fitness Goals?'
Short answer: yes, your genetics play a role—but probably not as much as you think.
Things like body type, metabolism, and how your body stores fat can be influenced by your DNA. But the reality? Most of your results come down to your daily choices—not your genes.
6 Nutrition Rules You Can Break—and Still See Results
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the “rules” around eating healthy… you’re not alone.
Don’t eat after 7pm.

Track every bite.
It’s a lot—and honestly, most of it just adds stress without delivering real results.

The Scale Lied to You. Here’s the Truth.
We’ve all been there—you step on the scale, check your progress photos, or take your measurements, hoping to see a big win. And when the numbers move in the right direction? It feels amazing. But when they don’t? Suddenly, all your hard work feels pointless.
But here’s the thing: your results—whatever method you use to track them—are just data. And that data is one of the most powerful tools you have to move forward.
The Instagram Fitness Lie You’re Not Being Told
Every day, it seems like another twenty-something in a completely different stage of life pops up on my feed, confidently telling me exactly what my almost 40-year-old self needs to do to look just like them in their perfectly curated selfies. Do this new workout. Drink this trendy supplement. Just follow their routine, and everything will fall into place.
Does Your Training Translate?
You put in the time. You push through the workouts. You hit the weights, grind through the reps, and walk out of the gym feeling accomplished. But here’s the real question—does any of it actually translate to your life outside the gym?
Speed vs. Strength: Which One Matters More for Young Athletes?
When it comes to athletic success, two words get thrown around a lot: speed and strength. Some coaches say speed is king, while others emphasize strength as the foundation of all movement. The truth? Both are essential for young athletes looking to perform at their best.
Your Age Is Only as Old as Your Joints Feel
There’s a shift that happens in training as we get older. At some point, it stops being just about aesthetics and starts being about longevity, function, and feeling good every single day.
Can Creatine Support Overall Health Beyond Strength Training?
When most people think of creatine, they associate it with building muscle, enhancing performance, and strength training.

Emerging research suggests that creatine may also support brain function, energy levels, and overall health in ways you might not expect.
Simplify Your Week: The Magic of Meal Planning and Crockpot Cooking
