Movement & Training

Finding your best way to be physically active is as important as finding the right profession — maybe more. It gives you the pleasure of doing something truly good for your health, day after day, for

many years.

After age 50, muscle mass declines by about 1–2% per year — but muscle strength declines even faster, by 1–3% per year, with that rate accelerating the longer it goes unaddressed. Strong muscles protect our bones and ensure our functional independence.

 

A functional fitness program developed specifically for people 45+ is targeted at improving heart health, supporting pain-free joint mobility, developing confident balance to prevent falls, and supporting long years of independent living — so you can keep doing what you love: playing with your grandkids, enjoying sports,  and hikes with beautiful vistas.

​

​​​I educate clients on proper body mechanics and build personalized programs around their goals, movement preferences, schedule, and any limitations such as past injuries or chronic conditions — making the process feel approachable, not intimidating. No fancy equipment required. I work in the comfort of your home, my small studio, or remotely, with an emphasis on environment, safety, and individual pace.

​

Movement areas to support your vitality:

  • Breathwork & Movement Foundations

  • Strength & Resistance

  • Cardiovascular Conditioning

  • Balance & Posture

  • Mobility & Flexibility

  • Post-Rehabilitation Fitness

  • Chronic Condition Management (hypertension, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.)

  • ​Senior Fitness

​

​Training options:

  • Individual sessions — in-person or virtual — my full attention is on you, every session.

  • Semi-private small group training — in-person in Loudoun County or virtual for clients anywhere — groups of up to 5. You get close, personalized coaching plus the energy and accountability of a community, at a lower price point than one-on-one.

🗓️ New in January: Functional Fitness Group Classes on Zoom

Twice-weekly functional fitness classes, live on Zoom — subscription-based, starting January 2027.

Who it's for: Adults 45+ ready to improve their strength, balance, and mobility — from the comfort of home. No commute, no hassle. Groups capped at 5 participants to ensure individual attention and feedback.

Personal training sessions may be eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement. Ask me how.

Barbara and I have found a personal trainer who helps us meet our physical goals. She plans our sessions individually and makes adjustments to ensure our safety and track our progress. Her caring and professional training helps us reach our goals. Based on our experience we strongly recommend Tamara as a superb trainer.
