Absolutely!

Many people believe that getting older means a natural decline in strength, but that doesn’t have to be the case. At RxGym Didsbury, we’re here to show you that strength can be built at any age, and our experienced coaches are ready to help you make it happen.

We’re passionate about empowering people in their 40s, 50s, and beyond to stay active, strong, and independent. Sedentary habits can lead to weakness over time, but taking action—even later in life—can bring remarkable improvements. With regular training, our clients maintain or even gain strength, allowing them to stay active and capable well into the future.

Strength Training Over 40: Three Essentials

1. Consistency is Key.
Building strength is all about creating momentum. Training consistently, 2-4 times a week, can lead to steady progress, but it’s important to stick with it. If you’re in Didsbury, Chorlton, Northenden, or nearby, we can help you build a routine that works for your lifestyle, even if you’re juggling a busy schedule.

2. A Plan Built for You.
Effective training is about more than just showing up. Our coaches at RxGym design personalised plans that focus on “progressive overload” (gradually increasing the challenge) and correct form. From small group training session to 1:1 personal training, we’ll make sure you’re doing the right things, the right way, at the right time.

3. Nutrition to Support Your Strength.
Nutrition is essential for strength training, especially as we age. Our coaches will guide you on how to fuel your body with the right balance of protein, carbs, and fats to support your goals. It’s about finding what works for you so you can perform your best and recover well.

Let’s Start Your Strength Journey Together!

One of the best things about strength training is that results can happen fast. As your brain and muscles start working in harmony, you’ll notice an initial boost in strength and energy. Over time, clothes fit better, movement feels easier, and you’ll feel more capable and confident in your day-to-day life.

And don’t worry—strength training won’t make you “bulky.” Building muscle happens gradually and leads to a lean, fit appearance rather than bulk. If strength is your goal, we’re here to make it happen with the right guidance and support.

At RxGym, our Small Group Training sessions are uniquely designed for each member. With are individualised tracking cards, programme, goal reviews, and dedicated coaching sessions, you’ll have everything you need to succeed. One of our clients put it best: “Joining RxGym has helped me feel stronger and more energetic—I’ve gained more than just physical strength!”
