This summer, we’re excited to roll out workout programs for teens and pre-teens 🙌🏼

Whether your family wants to train together at our gym or your teen needs something structured to follow at home, we’re creating fun programs to help them work toward something meaningful this summer.

This isn’t just for athletes. This is for the teen who needs structure, confidence, discipline, healthy habits, and a reason to get off the couch and their 📱 and move their body.

Strength training teaches more than fitness. It teaches consistency, work ethic, confidence, and how to push through hard things.

If you’d want your teen involved this summer, comment “TEEN” or send us a message and we’ll get you the details when they launch 💪🏼

Rene is 53 and heading into Block 3 of our High Performance Program 🔥

Over the last 6 weeks, we’ve taken her full-body lifts and layered in more conditioning. Helping her not just get stronger, but become more athletic too.

Why this is important: As we age, muscle, balance, bone density, and cardiovascular health naturally decline if we don’t train them. Leaving many people incapable of performing every day tasks without pain, fatigue, or loss of balance.

Rene’s goal is simple: to continue to improve her power output, to keep inspiring other women, and prove that going after big goals doesn’t come with an expiration date.

If you’re in your 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s and you continue to struggle to make your health a priority, don’t wait until it’s too late. Let Rene’s capabilities inspire you to put yourself first now. Send us a DM to talk about your goals.

And don’t worry - everyone’s program looks different here at Body BaYou. We tailor each exercise to your goal and performance level. Don’t let that barbell intimidate you! 😉

3 THINGS I PRIORITIZE TO BUILD A STRONG LOWER BODY

1 — Compound lifts:

This is your foundation. Squats, RDLs, hip thrusts.
These movements load the glutes the most and give you the biggest return. If you’re majoring in band work and avoiding progressive overload, you’re leaving major results on the table.

2 — Stable machines:

When you’re not fighting for stability in your limiting factors (ex: low back in a back squat), you can actually take a set where it needs to go—close to failure. Your injury risk decreases, and you’re more likely to push your muscles as hard as they can handle. That’s where growth happens.

3 — High protein diet:

Training is the stimulus. Protein is the building material. If your intake is low, your body doesn’t have what it needs to repair and grow. So you stay stuck, even if your workouts feel hard.

If you’re struggling to grow muscle and get lean, send me a DM. I’d love to chat with you. ❤️

I’ve witnessed it so many times over the years. Women sit across from me frustrated, even in tears, realizing they’ve waited far too long to start focusing on themselves.

If more women understood these five important reasons to weight train, I truly believe it would remove much of the intimidation that keeps them from starting.

Weightlifting is the answer to most of the struggles women face as they approach 40 and beyond.

When these women sit across from me and I break it down for them, showing them the joy that is set before them through consistently getting stronger, something shifts.

They begin to see what’s possible.
They begin to feel hope again.
They realize the end is not near.

It’s a new beginning.

Stop putting yourself last.

Start building strength, confidence, and momentum.

Message me “STRONG” and I’ll help you take the first step.

Taking GLPs? You need to know this!

If you’re in a calorie deficit from weight loss drugs, intermittent fasting or keto, you need to know this before it costs you 👇

Losing weight and losing fat are not the same thing. Oftentimes, we see weight loss on the scale and see success. But if you aren’t weight lifting (truly lifting weights close to failure) you aren’t signaling to your muscle mass to preserve itself.

This means - when on GLP, weight loss comes with the cost of muscle mass. It does not discriminate between the two. It does not tell your muscle to stay and tell fat to go. It tells everything to shrink…no matter the cost.

‼️Here’s why you need to know this:

If you aren’t actively pursuing muscle maintenance or growth through resistance training, you are losing muscle.

If you’re losing muscle, you’re setting your future self up for a confused metabolic system. Preserving muscle mass preserves your metabolism. When you don’t have it, your fat burning mechanisms “malfunction.”

This is why studies have shown when people come off of this weight loss drug, they gain the weight back 3x faster. Less muscle. Slower metabolism. Higher body fat %.

All that to say, if you’re in a calorie deficit - whether that’s through weight loss drugs, intermittent fasting, keto, etc - you NEED to resistance train to preserve or enhance your muscle mass.

Protect your muscle, it is the key to strength, longevity and bone density. And you need all of those things as you age.

Strong at 52 isn’t luck. It’s not good genes. It’s not some magic window she caught in her 30s. It’s years of choosing to show up for herself.

Strength at this age is built. Rep by rep. Meal by meal. Boundary by boundary.

And you don’t have to go extreme to get there. You just have to stop putting yourself last.

If you’re over 40 and you’ve been “meaning to” take better care of yourself, let this be your nudge. You’re not too old. You’re not too late. You’re right on time to start building the version of you that feels strong, steady, and capable for the next 20 years.

Let’s go!! Like…NOW!!

You’ve been told to eat less and less and move more and move. But no one told you that shrinking your weights means shrinking your results.

I’ve helped women realize the truth about what it takes to actually see results that they want. And it’s the opposite of what you’ve been taught.

Wha lies have you been told to believe?
