About Parker Fitness

Hi, I'm Anne. I help women over 50 get strong at home.

I'm the founder of Parker Fitness, a wellness space that helps women build strength, resilience and confidence from the inside out. I've worked in health and fitness for more than 30 years. Now I coach a small group of women directly, with daily, personal attention.

Why I coach women over 50

So many women I meet have been told to slow down, go easy, or that it's too late to build muscle. None of that is true.

Strength is what keeps you independent, steady on your feet and doing the things you love. You don't need a gym or heavy barbells to build it. You need a smart plan that respects your joints, a few pieces of equipment and someone who checks in and keeps you going on the days you'd rather not.

My coaching blends joint-friendly strength training with breathwork and HeartMath techniques, because a calm nervous system recovers better, sleeps better and sticks with the plan.

My story

From elite athlete to your coach in midlife

My journey began as an NCAA All-American track athlete and elite pole vaulter. That sparked a lifelong passion for movement, mindset and performance.

I went on to coach Division I track and field. For more than 30 years since, I've blended science-backed training with heart-centered coaching, and helped thousands of clients transform their health through my online coaching.

Today my focus is women in midlife who want to feel strong, supported and connected to their bodies again. Whether you're just getting started or ready for more, I'm here to guide you and cheer you on every step of the way.

True strength begins within.

Denver mom and dog person

I live and train in Denver with my daughter and Willow, our Labrador, who supervises most of my workouts from the yoga mat.

I believe the best workout is the one that fits your real life, and that's what I build for every client.
