The over 40 Fitness Myths

Being in great shape isn’t luck—it’s a formula.

Just walking more and lifting light weights is NOT the answer.
So what’s the solution? Train Smarter.

At Fit Over 40, we recognize that the way you train in your 40s or 50s isn’t the same as in your 20s. Our program is designed for older adults, focusing on joint-friendly, low-impact exercises that build muscle while minimizing the risk of injury.

  • Low-Impact, High-Results: No high-risk movements like burpees or box jumps—just smart, efficient exercises to strengthen your body while protecting your joints.
  • Time-Efficient Workouts: With 30-minute sessions three days a week, we maximize your results in a short amount of time, perfect for busy schedules.
  • Core and Posture Focus: In addition to building muscle, our workouts enhance core strength, posture, and overall mobility, no more forward shoulder role and helping you stay functional and pain-free.

We do not leave the ground doing burpees or box jumps or anything that can be harmful to our joints, the wrists, knees, hips, or back. Our 30-minute program is developed for each client’s physical limitations, needs, wants, and goals.

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what works!

That’s the FIT OVER 40 formula.

That’s the FIT OVER 40  formula.

One of the primary benefits of having a personal trainer is the customization of your workout plan. Everyone has different physical limitations. Some of us have new hips, knees, shoulders backs. No two bodies are the same, and neither are their fitness needs. A professional personal trainer assesses your current physical limitations, fitness level, your objectives, and designs a workout plan tailored specifically for you. This personalized approach ensures that every exercise you perform is safe and effective and aligned with your fitness objectives.

Staying motivated can be tough, especially when you’re going through this thing called “Life”. A personal trainer provides the accountability you need to stay on track. Knowing that you have a scheduled session with your trainer can be a powerful motivator to stick to your fitness routine. Moreover, personal trainers are skilled in keeping you motivated, helping you push through those moments when you feel like giving up.

Proper form and technique are crucial to avoid injuries and achieve optimal results. Most, not all personal trainers are experts in exercise science and can guide you on how to perform exercises correctly. This not only helps in preventing injuries but also ensures that you’re getting the most out of each workout.

In today’s fast-paced world, efficiency is key. Personal trainers maximize your workout time by creating sessions that are safe, efficient and effective. They focus on exercises that target multiple muscle groups, improving your overall strength, core strength, flexibility, balance and cardio vascular endurance. This is particularly beneficial for busy professionals who need to make the most out of their limited time for workouts.

Certified personal training with over 30 years of experience 

There’s a reason you don’t want to go to just any trainer if you’re over 40, overweight, and looking to get in shape. Most trainers put you on the same workout routine regardless of your age and ability. 

Doesn’t matter if you’re young, old, male, female… They have their off the shelf solution, and that’s what you’ll get. They aren’t doing it on purpose. They just don’t know any better.

I created a fitness routine that solves this called 5-20-5. (It only takes 30 minutes a day!).It’s customized to your needs, wants and physical level.

Hello, my name is Chris Ownbey

I’m a 50-year-old personal trainer with more than 30 years in the industry. I specialize in personal training for Men and Women 40+ in a Private one on one Studio located in North Dallas.

As we get older our reasons to exercise have changed, our workouts should change too. And the big box gyms are not for everyone. They can be confusing and intimidating.

Come for a meet and great with me, free of charge so you can start feeling better, having more energy and loving the way you look again.

I would like to connect, answer your questions and tell you how I can help.
