Helping Men Get Fit and Stay Fit Over 40

older man exercise

Are you still training as if you were twenty, but finding it doesn’t work the way it used to:

  • You’re flat out with work and family, and you can’t get to the gym every day

  • You don’t recover as fast as you used to – you wake up sore the next morning

  • Even worse, you get niggling pains and injuries which won’t go away

 

Or did life get in the way so much you gave up training altogether?

Now you’d like to start again, but it’s not that easy:
 

  • You can’t find the time to train enough to make a difference, or keep it up during the busy weeks

  • Getting out of bed in the morning is hard enough, let alone getting to the gym

  • With your body the way it is, the risk of injury is real

It’s time to train smarter, not harder!

And if you start by training smart, later you’ll be able to train hard too – without racking up the injuries.

 

It’s time to look after your body and coax the best out of it instead of pushing it to perform with no care for the future. You’re not old, but you’re old enough and wise enough to know that the long-term counts.

 

With the right program, you can
 

  • lose the belly fat and the back pain

  • tone up the muscles

  • have the vitality you need to stay on top of your game
     

Whether you’re kicking a ball with the kids or leading a marathon day at the office, it all starts with peak health and fitness.

Client Testimonial

Although I was running and cycling, I was struggling to maintain my ideal weight. I wasn't supplementing my cardio with weight training, which is important to maintain lean muscle as you age.

I instantly liked Luke during my introduction to Odyssey. He is extremely knowledgeable on overall requirements to achieve your goals (Sleep, dietary requirements, hydration, as well as weight training) this wasn't what I expected with a PT. I've tried a couple of PT's previously and was disappointed in their lack of overall fitness and wellness understanding, as they were mostly focused on exercise and weights alone. Once we started, Luke put me on the correct path of diet and exercise to build up my muscles and become a better and safer runner. Working on the right muscles helps me avoid running injuries and improves my balance to avoid falls. He really gets what is needed for each individual and doesn't just put you on a routine program. It is customised for what is needed to achieve your goals.

My running quality has improved, and the muscle gains and weight loss that I've acheived are visible every time I look at myself in the mirror (love it!). I've also cut out my snack craving by simply just eating more protein (who knew?)
