<br>If you're looking for a female personal trainer who really gets what it means to be Midlife Fit, you've found her. As a woman over 50 myself, I know how important it is to get stronger (while protecting old injuries and preventing new ones), increase stamina (without workouts that leave you feeling sore and exhausted), move with more suppleness (while relieving aches and stiffness) and have the option of expressing on the outside the youthful vibrant version of YOU that you feel on the inside. <br>As our bodies and life priorities change in midlife, exercise is no longer a “nice to have”-- it’s a necessity to delay and even reverse the negative effects of aging which include bone, muscle and strength loss. But one-size-fits-all “busy work” workouts won’t cut it for us when it comes to maintaining and improving our health and fitness (this is especially true if you're hypermobile). Nope! For that, you’ll need a thoughtfully and strategically designed program, ideally, tailor-made just for you with nutritional, sleep and stress management support. <br> I've helped people who have never engaged with formal exercise before, executives who spend hours at their desk and in meetings, healthcare professionals who are on their feet all day, retired folks who want to remain active and former Division 1 athletes get fit and stay fit for the activities they want to enjoy now and well into the future. <br> I’d love to help you get Midlife Fit, too. <br> Areas of Specialty: * In-person Training at a Private Gym in Del Mar, CA Or Virtual Training Everywhere Else * Midlife Fitness Specialist for Active Women 50+ * Hypermobility Fitness Specialist * Nutritional Guidance to Fuel Training & Activities * Strength Training for Function, Health Span and Performance * Corrective Exercise to Restore Healthy Movement

What to Expect

One-on-one training with me in-person at a private gym in Del Mar, CA or over Zoom. Our initial session will include a movement assessment to go along with a comprehensive online client interview form (I'll send it before our first session) so I can learn about your health history, lifestyle and your level of physical fitness. Once I have this information, I'll design a program of safe and effective exercises selected for your fitness level that progresses you toward your goals. I'll coach you through appropriate strength, cardiovascular, mobility, balance and/or agility exercises and be available to support you through email and text between sessions.

Client Success Story

"I really appreciate the thorough movement screening Emiko did of my body upon our first meeting and the follow-up screening she did a few months later. Wow, what a difference! Sometimes it’s hard to see the progress you are making until you have something to compare it with. It’s such a good feeling to see all the hard work pay off! She has really helped me with my shoulder and knee issues. Even my doctor noticed my improvement and commented on it. <br>When I first came to her I could only do wall push-ups standing almost fully upright due to a lot of scar tissue surrounding my right shoulder. I am now able to do full plank push-ups at a 45 degree angle (to the floor) and I keep getting stronger. For the first time, I actually believe I will be able to do a full push-up on the ground! Emiko was always conscientious to adjust my workout routine to accommodate my injuries. I also used to suffer with low back pain, but Emiko used her 'booty training' knowledge to help me strengthen my butt muscles and the rest of my core and now my low back feels great! She is really good about knowing how much to push me and I’m always pleasantly surprised to learn that I am capable of doing more than I initially thought. It’s a real confidence booster!" <br> - Linda C.
