Strength Training That Respects the Aging Body

As we get older, two big threats show up: osteopenia and sarcopenia — loss of bone and muscle. We fight back with smart, joint-friendly resistance training that helps you stay mobile and strong.

  • Functional movements that matter in real life, like squats, pushes, and carries — not flashy gym stuff
  • Built-in modifications for stiff joints and sensitive areas, so you can move safely at any fitness level
  • Slow, steady pacing to support recovery and avoid injury — no rushing, no pressure
  • Workouts using dumbbells, resistance bands, or just bodyweight — always doable at home
  • Special focus on hips, knees, ankles, feet, and hands — where aging tends to hit the hardest
  • Real-world results: better balance, fewer aches, and confidence in everyday movement

Everything
You Need to Succeed

I built this program with one clear goal: to give you everything you need to build strength, stay mobile, and feel great in your body — without needing a gym or expensive equipment.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve helped thousands of people over 55 get stronger, move better, and stay independent. This program brings that same guidance into your home — at a fraction of what personal training would cost.

Whether you’re just getting started or picking things back up after a break, BuildStrength will meet you where you’re at — and help you make real progress, safely and confidently.

let’s get started…

Here’s What We need to work on…

Let’s be real—aging hits hard. But it doesn’t have to knock you down. Most workouts focus on looks. This one? It’s about staying strong where it actually counts.

💪 MAJOR MUSCLE GROUPS

We strengthen the shoulders, upper back, arms, chest, core, hips, and legs to build the kind of total-body strength that makes everyday life easier.

🤲🏻 HANDS & FOREARMS

Grip strength matters. You’ll train the muscles that help you open jars, carry groceries, swing golf clubs or tennis racquets, and keep doing what you love.

🦶🏼FEET & LOWER LEGS

Strong feet are essential for walking, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance. We target the muscles that keep you moving with confidence.

⚡️ HIPS – MOVEMENT POWERHOUSE

Weak hips = wobbly movement. We build hip strength to improve agility, walking power, and the ability to get up and down from the floor with ease.

👫 POSTURE

Good posture isn’t just about looks—it’s about strength. We train the muscles that hold you upright, reduce fatigue, and prevent the slump that aging often brings.

🔗 CORE & STABILITY

Core-focused exercises protect your spine, improve balance, and make daily tasks like reaching, twisting, or getting out of a chair safer and easier.

Three types of resistance

(Watch these video demos)

Dumbbells

Resistance Bands

Body Weight

Simple, effective, and easy to scale — dumbbells are a great way to build full-body strength without bulky equipment or complicated movements.

Joint-friendly and travel-ready, bands offer smooth resistance that’s easy on the body but surprisingly effective at building strength and stability.

No equipment? No problem. Your own body can be one of the best tools for improving strength and functional movement — anytime, anywhere.

This is the heart of the program. These full-body workouts are just 30 minutes long and can be done with dumbbells, resistance bands, or bodyweight—no bulky machines, no gym required. I’ll help you choose the path that works best for your body and schedule.

Three weekly full-body strength routines of 30 minutes each will have you feeling much stronger in six weeks.

I genuinely believe that smart, full-body strength training is the most powerful way to stay fit, capable, and confident as you age.

Hi. I’m Drew.

I’ve been a yoga teacher and fitness trainer for over 25 years. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I shifted mostly online. These days, I still work with a handful of in-person clients and small groups—which I love—but I also love reaching more people online. People like you, who want age-appropriate workouts that actually feel designed for you. And mine are.

I’ve seen firsthand—through my clients and my own body—what aging can do. Frankly, it sucks. But the good news? We can do a lot to stay ahead of it.

Over the years, I’ve learned what really works. We need strength training to combat muscle and bone loss. Balance work to prevent falls. Low-impact, steady-state cardio to keep the heart and lungs strong. And mobility work to reduce aches and move more freely.

What I’m most proud of? Many of my clients have stayed with me for years—some over a decade—because my programs get results without wearing people down.

Whether you’re a guy, a gal, or working out as a couple, resistance training builds the foundation for a powerful, pain-free life. While men may need heavier weights than women, we all need basic resistance training to stay strong.

QUESTIONS

You’ll need a set of light to moderate dumbbells or a set of resistance bands—depending on which workout path you choose. No bulky machines or fancy gear required. Every workout is designed to be done safely at home. The program includes guidance for obtaining bands or dumbbells. It’s easy to get them. They aren’t expensive and they don’t take up much space.

No, absolutely not! This program builds functional strength—not bodybuilder bulk. Women typically gain lean muscle, better posture, and more energy without ever looking “too muscular.”

Let’s be honest—by the time we’re 55+, it’s pretty common to have overall aches and pains, and joints that don’t move like they used to. I’ve got my own challenges too, including a hip replacement. That’s why it’s so important to work around limitations, not avoid movement altogether. This program includes guidance and smart modifications to help you build strength safely—even if a joint needs a little extra care.

Six weeks is the perfect window to build momentum, develop consistency, and start seeing real change—without feeling overwhelmed. It’s long enough to see progress, but short enough to stay fully committed. Once the six weeks is over you have full access to the workouts for life. So you can easily repeat the workouts as long as you like.

You’ll do three strength workouts per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), and optional mobility sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sunday is your rest day—or a chance to repeat your favorite stretch.

Recovery is part of the process. Rest days help your muscles rebuild and reduce injury risk. You’ll come back stronger and more energized for the next session.

Absolutely. This program was specifically designed for adults 55+ and includes scalable exercises for every level. You’ll get strong without putting your body at risk. It’s NEVER too late to begin strength training. I’ll guide you every step of the way.

No problem. You have lifetime access to the program, so you can pause, restart, or move at your own pace. Life happens—and this program is built to work with you, not against you.

These are short, targeted sessions that can be done anytime. Use them as an add-on to your regular workouts or as a gentle alternative on days when you need a break. They’re designed to be flexible and easy to fit into your schedule.

You’ve probably seen plenty of 10-minute workouts online—but that’s usually not enough time to truly build strength. On the flip side, we don’t need to grind it out for an hour either. Thirty minutes is the sweet spot—long enough to challenge your muscles and make real progress, but short enough to fit into your day without feeling like a burden.

Your workouts should be something you look forward to, not dread.

That said, one of the best ways to build strength is by moving your body daily. That’s why I created Movement Snacks—quick, 2-minute exercises you can do between workouts or on low-motivation days. They don’t replace your full workouts, but they’ll help keep your momentum going. Movement Snacks are included as part of your program.

People come to me because they’re looking for fitness that fits THEIR STAGE OF LIFE—

—Something designed by someone who truly gets what this stage of life feels like. And trust me, I get it because I’m right there with ya!

Aging brings its own set of challenges. The body doesn’t bounce back like it used to. Some days you feel stiff, slower, maybe even discouraged.

But here’s the good news: you still have so much potential.
You are not done. Not even close.

I’ve felt the same frustrations myself, but I also know this—nothing has a bigger impact on your future than how strong and capable you are today. Strength isn’t just about muscle. It’s about freedom, confidence, and living life on your terms.

Time is not standing still, my friend. Every day is a chance to build the future you want. You can do this. And there’s no better time to start than right now. CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED.
