Our philosophy
More than just exercises

At Redefining Age, our trainings shift the focus of fitness to a mindful, consistent, and long-term journey. We emphasize sustainability, self-reflection, and continuous, incremental improvement rather than instant, dramatic results.

How to get started

1. choose your package

Choose what type of training fits best with your current goals. Don’t worry—this is just a starting point. You can change the level of support or training focus later.

2. get your consultation

Meet with Susan live or virtually to discuss your goals, history, and lifestyle. This information plus other assessments will enable Susan to develop your personalized plan.

3. follow your plan

Your plan will be designed to help you build strength, confidence, and consistency — one week at a time. You will get the support you need at all points throughout the way.

4. momentum + results

Plans are designed to progress you gradually and safely. You will gain momentum from following the plan. Expect to see and feel results within a few weeks.

The training techniques
What to expect
Training: Strength & Stability
Arrive + Reset

We begin with a brief check-in and calming practice to shift from “life mode” into “training mode.” You’ll set a simple intention for the session—how you want to feel when you leave.Warm-Up

Warm-Up

This is not random stretching. We use purposeful movement to:

  • Prepare joints and posture
  • Activate the muscles we’re about to train
  • Wake up balance and coordination
Balance and Core Movements

Our approach emphasizes training that progresses your abilities from isometric stability to dynamic core movement.

Strength Training: The Main Course

You’ll train foundational movements that support stability, flexibility, and full-body strength. We often use simple techniques—like slower lowering, brief pauses, and steady breathing—to help you feel muscles working and build strength safely.

Cooldown + Integration

We bring the nervous system down, restore mobility and muscle length balance. We end our session restating your intention—so you leave grounded and clear.

Strength & Stability Training is for women who want to build real strength, balance, and energy—while feeling calm, confident, and fully present in their bodies. If you are new to working out or already have some experience with structured exercise, this approach is right for you.

The Emotional Resilience pillar is a guided, practical session designed to help you handle stress, change, and life’s challenges more calmly and confidently. Think of it as training your inner stability the same way you’d train your body for physical strength. It’s done through simple exercises that you practice repeatedly.

Training:
Emotional Resilience
Clear Intention

This isn’t therapy, and you won’t be asked to share anything you don’t want to. We begin by settling in—no pressure. You’ll choose a simple intention for the session (words like steady, capable, calm, brave).

Quick Emotional Check-In

We use an easy “weather report” to notice what you’re feeling and where your energy is today. The goal is awareness, not judgment.

Learn and Practice Nervous-System Tools

You’ll be guided through a few research-based techniques you can use anytime:

  • Breathing patterns that help your body downshift
  • Simple “name it” practices to reduce overwhelm
  • Quick resets that help you return to clarity
The Resilience Moment: Choice

You’ll learn how to recognize your early warning signs and choose a supportive response—without pushing feelings away or getting stuck in them.

A Take-Home Plan You Can Actually Use

You’ll leave with a short personal plan: what to notice, what to do when stress spikes, and what kind of support helps you recover faster.

Training: Purposeful Living
Welcoming, Inclusive Opening

We begin by setting a simple intention—peace, trust, clarity, gratitude—whatever you need most right now. You’ll always be invited to “take what fits and leave the rest.”

Grounding In The Present Moment

We use gentle orientation practices (like noticing what you see, hear, and feel) to bring you out of busy thinking and into the steadiness of the “right here, right now.”

Anchoring Practice

You’ll choose a simple anchor phrase that feels true for you—paired with slow breathing. It becomes a tool you can use anytime you want to feel grounded.

Checking In With Your Inner Compass

You’ll reflect on the values you want to live from—things like steadiness, courage, kindness, faith, simplicity, service, or joy. We translate those values into a small, realistic action you can take this week.

Closing Ritual + Carry Forward

We close with a brief gratitude or reflection practice, and a simple phrase you can return to when your life feels empty or unconnected.

This pillar is for women who want to feel more rooted in themselves and connected to what matters most. The vibe is soulful, but practical. You’ll leave feeling centered and supported, with grounding practices that fit into everyday life.

This is for you if …

  • You’re done with quick fixes — and ready for a sustainable routine that fits real life.
  • You want more energy, strength, and confidence (and fewer “I wish I didn’t feel like this” days).
  • You’re navigating midlife changes and want a clear plan you can trust.
  • You want accountability that feels supportive.
  • You’re ready to invest in yourself — with guidance that actually sticks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. We begin gently, at a pace that feels comfortable, and build strength gradually. There’s no pressure and no judgment. You’ll be amazed by how quickly your confidence grows.

That’s very common, and I design every workout with your limitations in mind. You’ll receive modifications, alternatives, and supportive coaching every step of the way.

This is normal — and you won’t feel this way for long. My coaching style is warm, supportive, and completely judgment-free. I celebrate your progress, honor your pace, and help you feel proud of every step you take.

That is okay. Many exercises can be adapted using a chair or standing position. You’ll be encouraged to work at a level that feels safe and appropriate for your body.

I have a Personal Trainer certification with a Senior Fitness specialization through the National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM).

Most women begin feeling improvements within just a few weeks. More noticeable physical changes typically appear between 6–12 weeks, depending on your consistency and goals.

Very little. Most clients start with a pair of light dumbbells, resistance band, sturdy chair, and a yoga mat (optional). If you don’t have anything yet, we can begin with bodyweight exercises.

If you have a diagnosed condition or concerns about exercise safety, I will likely ask you to get medical clearance first. We discuss safety issues during our first meeting. This ensures you feel confident and supported before starting your program.

Just schedule a free consultation. We’ll talk about your goals, your comfort level, and what you hope to feel in your body. If it’s a good fit, we’ll create a personalized plan and take the first step together.

Make this the moment that you
see what’s possible as you age.

Join us in seeing that this season of life isn’t the closing act.
Let’s redefine what it means to be strong, well, and deeply alive — at 60 and beyond.
