Even If It’s Been a While

Let’s be honest, starting a fitness program over 40 can feel like walking into a high school dance where everyone else already knows the moves.

Maybe it’s been a few years (or decades) since you stepped foot in a gym. Maybe your knees crack louder than bubble wrap. Or maybe you’re just ready to take your health more seriously but want to do it smartly and safely.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place. Here’s what you can expect when working with a personal trainer in Vancouver BC at TSquared Personal Training.

Spoiler: No grunting contests, no egos, and no punishing circuits. Just focused coaching, real results, and workouts that respect your body and your joints.

First, We Set the Foundation (Not Just Goals)

Before we ever touch a weight, we talk.

We’ll cover your:

  • Health history and current fitness level
  • Old injuries and how to work around them
  • Personal goals, whether that’s hiking without knee pain, playing with your grandkids, or simply staying active without hurting yourself

Our philosophy is simple, meet you where you are, not where someone else thinks you should be.

Then, We Move With Purpose

Your first session is part assessment, part workout, and fully customized.

What We Focus On:

  • Mobility and posture
  • Functional strength so daily life feels easier
  • Breathing, core activation, and safe movement patterns

We’ll never ask you to lift heavy on day one. Instead, we’ll help you move better, feel stronger, and understand your body in a whole new way.

Real Client Success Story: Alva (Age 24)

“When I came to TSquared, I had arthritis in my knees and lung issues. Troy designed a program that helped me rebuild strength gently, and now I’m doing exercises I never thought possible.”

Why Work With a Personal Trainer in Vancouver BC Over 40?
