(Over 50s and over 60s)
Personal training for over 50s
I started my own transformation at 52, so I know what it feels like to begin again in your fifties. It isn't too late. Muscle and strength respond to training at any age.
57
52(Proof it works)
Started at 52, stronger at 57
I came to this after 30 years in an office. Over five years of steady training and better eating I lost 5 stone and built lean muscle.
That's my own result, and everyone's different. What I learned along the way is that progress in your fifties and sixties comes from a plan that respects where you're starting from, and from turning up week after week.
(What we focus on)
Strength that keeps you independent
Muscle and strength
The single best thing you can build for later life. Carrying shopping, lifting grandchildren and getting up off the floor all get easier.
Bones and joints
Progressive, joint-friendly loading that respects old injuries and stiff mornings.
Balance and mobility
Work on balance, hips and shoulders so everyday movement feels easy again.
Protein and recovery
Practical nutrition with protein as the priority, because recovery needs more support as we get older.

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.
Is it too late to start strength training at 50 or 60?
No. Muscle responds to strength training at any age. I started at 52. The key is starting at the right level and building up gradually.
Is lifting weights safe for my joints?
Done well, strength training usually helps joints by building the muscle that supports them. We start light, choose movements that suit you and progress slowly. If you're seeing a physio or GP, I'll work around their advice.
Can strength training help my bones?
The UK Chief Medical Officers advise strength activities at least two days a week to help slow the natural loss of muscle and bone density that starts around age 50. Training is part of the picture, alongside your GP's advice.
What if I have a health condition?
I hold a Level 3 Exercise Referral qualification for people with existing conditions and a Level 4 qualification in diabetes and obesity. We talk it through at your free consultation.
