Who is Parker Fitness coaching for?
Women over 50 who want to get stronger at home, feel confident in their bodies and have a real coach keeping them on track. Most clients are beginners or coming back after time off.
I'm a beginner. Is this for me?
Yes. Anne meets you at your current level and builds from there, with clear video demos for every exercise and form feedback along the way.
Is strength training safe after 50?
For most women, yes, and it is one of the best things you can do for your muscles, bones, balance and energy. Every plan is joint-friendly and modified to your body. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before you start.
I have achy joints or an old injury. Can I still do this?
Joint-friendly training is the heart of this program. Anne adjusts exercises, ranges of motion and load around knees, hips, shoulders and backs that need extra care.
What equipment do I need?
A yoga mat, a pair of light dumbbells, resistance bands and a suspension trainer. No gym and no heavy weights. Anne helps you choose what fits your space and budget during your Blueprint Session.
What is suspension training?
Suspension training uses adjustable straps anchored to a door, beam or ceiling so you train with your own body weight. You change the difficulty by changing your body angle, which makes it joint-friendly and easy to scale for any fitness level.
Are workouts live or on my own schedule?
Both. Your personal plan is done on your own time in the Parker Fitness Coaching App. You can also join small-group Zoom workouts with Anne, and your Blueprint Session and check-ins happen by video.
Do I need to live in Denver?
No. Coaching is fully online, so women join from anywhere. Anne is based in Denver, Colorado.
How much does coaching cost?
$197 per month. Your Blueprint Session is complimentary (a $297 value), and you can try coaching free for 7 days.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. There's no long-term contract. Coaching is billed at $197 per month, starting the day your coaching begins, and renews automatically on the same date each month.
