(Over 40s)
Personal training for over 40s
Your forties are when the habits of a busy career start to show. The good news is that strength training works brilliantly at this age, and it doesn't need hours in the gym.
(Why it matters now)
Strength is the best investment you'll make in your forties
From around 40, most people slowly lose muscle unless they do something to keep it. You might notice it as less energy, a thicker waist, a back that aches after a long drive or a golf swing that's lost its zip.
Strength training is the most direct way to push back. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend muscle-strengthening activity on at least two days a week for every adult. Two well-planned sessions can do a lot.
"You're busy, you value your time, and you want training that fits around your life."
(What we work on)
Training for the life you actually live
Strength and muscle
Compound lifts taught properly, built up gradually, so you get stronger without getting hurt.
Body composition
Lose body fat and keep the muscle, with training and nutrition working together.
Energy and fitness
Conditioning work that leaves you with more energy for work and family, not less.
Desk-proofing
Mobility and posture work for hips, backs and shoulders that spend all day in a chair.
(Common worries)
You don't need to be fit to start
Prime PT is built for people who aren't gym regulars: busy professionals who've put themselves last for too long. Plenty feel self-conscious about walking into a gym at all.
That's why it's private. Nobody's watching, there's no queue for the bench and no one to compare yourself with. We start where you are.

What clients say
Real reviews from Prime PT clients, word for word from Google.
I have trained for many years in various sports. Glenn’s knowledge is superb and his sessions are delivering what I asked ☺️.
Glenn is super relaxed and makes you feel at ease, whilst also keeping you motivated and focussed.
His gym is a lovely environment and it’s a privilege to work there with him.
Glenn is truly motivated to help you find what works for you. Whether that’s online or in his fantastic home gym where there is everything you would find in a public gym. Looking at what you eat to find the right balance for you and what your body needs. We are not all the same and Glenn tailors everything for you.
Personal, friendly but professional - felt really supported which was importantly to me as I have never been to a gym before and was nervous about not knowing what to do. Have realised now that I definitely do not like ‘mountain climbers’!
(Questions people ask)
Common questions
Starting something new always comes with questions. If yours isn't here, call or WhatsApp Glenn on 07770 613423.
How often should I strength train in my 40s?
The UK Chief Medical Officers advise strength activities on at least two days a week for all adults. For most of my over-40 clients, two focused sessions a week plus daily walking is the sweet spot.
Is it harder to lose weight after 40?
It can feel harder because muscle mass tends to drop with age and busy lives push activity down. Building muscle and eating enough protein help a lot. Fat loss still comes down to a sustainable calorie deficit, which is why nutrition is part of every plan.
I haven't trained for years. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Plenty of people come back to training after 10 or 20 years away. We start with the basics and add load gradually.
Can I train early before work?
Yes. Early morning and evening sessions are the norm here, because most clients are working full time.
