“Emma is extremely knowledgeable about exercise and movement and is focused on helping people of the age of 45. Emma has helped me to have more confident my everyday activities as well as pushing my limits in my workouts, as she taught me techniques that were customized to my age and condition. Workouts are through very focused videos. I only worked with her for three months, but feel years younger thanks to my increased agility.”

Emma helped me continue my rehab from shoulder surgery and physical therapy to a moderate game plan to get me back on track. You will be very happy with the results and her dedication. Thanks Emma”

Tom Katsiaficas

“Working with Emma has been the best investment that I could have done for myself. There’s such a vast amount of information on how to eat/exercise that I needed help narrowing down the exorbitant amount of details. She prescribes specifically designed exercises (to help improve weaknesses and enhance strengths). She creates and implements perfect amount of delicious macronutrient ratios to fit a healthy lifestyle. All of this has ultimately changed my life forever. It was exactly what I was looking for, plus way more. It’s been a very positive and productive experience!”

FAQ

  • Q: What makes these fitness programs suitable for adults over 40?

    A: I've carefully designed these programs to meet the unique health and wellness needs of adults over 40. This program is specifically designed for adults over 40 who are new to fitness or returning after a break. It's ideal for those who want to start building a foundation in balance, strength, and general health, particularly if you have had mobility or balance challenges.

  • Q: What are the prerequisites for joining?

    A: There are no specific fitness prerequisites for this program, however, I do ask that you complete the level placement survey on my homepage if you have not already done so. This program is crafted for beginners, so no prior experience in exercise or fitness routines is required. I do recommend consulting with a healthcare provider before starting any new fitness regimen, especially if you have any health concerns.

  • Q: Is there any required equipment for this program?

    For this program, you'll need an aerobic step, resistance bands, light dumbbells or a similar weighted object, and a sturdy chair. While I provide specific product recommendations within the program, feel free to use any suitable alternatives you have access to. For the aerobic step, a stable household step with handrail support can also work. The key is choosing equipment that's comfortable for you, ensuring a safe and effective workout. Avoid using unstable or cushioned furniture to maintain proper form and safety.

  • Q: How is this program structured?

    A: The Beginner Functional Fitness program is an 8-week course that focuses on mastering functional movement patterns. We start by teaching the foundational movements and gradually increase volume each week — meaning more repetitions or sets — to build your strength and proficiency. The progression prioritizes volume first, allowing you to become comfortable and confident with each movement before moving on to more complex exercises. The course features a combination of highly detailed "teaching" videos, which provide thorough instruction on form and highlight common mistakes, and "practice" videos. These practice videos are designed for you to work alongside after learning the movements, ensuring continuous reinforcement of critical form reminders. This approach ensures a solid foundation in functional fitness, tailored to mature adults embarking on their fitness journey.

  • Q: How are these programs personalized for each participant?

    A: While the programs are premade, I've developed them to accommodate diverse fitness levels and objectives that are common in adults over 40. When you choose a program, you'll fill out a comprehensive survey that helps pinpoint the plan that best aligns with your fitness status, medical background, and personal health goals. This way, even though the program is premade, it's still targeted to your needs.

  • Q: I’m new to formal fitness programs. How do I know which program is right for me?

    A: I understand that starting a new fitness regimen can be daunting, which is why I've put a system in place to guide you. The initial survey you complete is instrumental in identifying the right program for you. It considers your current fitness level, any existing health conditions, and your ultimate wellness goals. Based on your responses, you'll be directed to the program that is most suited to your situation.

  • Q: What qualifications do you have in fitness and nutrition?

    A: I am a NASM-certified Personal Trainer, nutrition coach, and a specialist in functional aging through the Functional Aging Institute (FAI). Additionally, I hold certifications in stretch and flexibility coaching and am a qualified virtual trainer. Currently, I am furthering my education with graduate studies in Exercise Science, with a concentration on exercise physiology and protocol development. Through the FAI, I also have numerous specific certifications in working with clients with joint replacements, kettlebells, as well as having my certification for Tai Chi.

  • Q: Are there flexible payment options for these programs?

    A: Absolutely, I believe that investing in your health shouldn’t be a financial burden. That's why I offer various payment plans to accommodate different budget needs. You have the option to pay in full for the complete program or select a payment plan that's spread over the duration of the program.

  • Q: What kind of support can I expect from these programs?

    A: While these programs are designed to be self-guided, I ensure that all the necessary resources you need to succeed, including detailed program guidelines, exercise descriptions, and nutritional advice (if applicable), are at your fingertips. However, for clients who need more hands-on support and accountability, I recommend exploring my 1-on-1 training options.
