About Coach Amy
Amy Freeman is Empower’s resident nutrition expert and one of our most trusted coaches for women training after 40.
Amy’s mission is to help people redefine what’s possible as they age — through smart training, nutrition, and mindset.
She didn’t grow up athletic, avoided gym class, and once believed fitness wasn’t “for her.” That changed after discovering endurance training, then CrossFit, where she learned firsthand how scalable strength training can be.

Lift Over 40 FAQs
Do I need lifting experience to join?
No. Lift Over Forty is designed for beginners and experienced lifters alike. Every session includes coaching, demonstrations, and progressions so you can learn safely and confidently at your own pace.
Is this program safe if I have injuries or limitations?
Yes. Coaching and individual scaling are central to this program. Movements are adjusted based on your needs, history, and comfort level — and you’ll never be asked to push through pain.
Is this CrossFit?
Lift Over Forty uses the principles of strength training, not high-intensity group workouts. Sessions are focused, controlled, and coached — with an emphasis on technique, strength, and long-term progress.
Will I feel intimidated?
Lift Over Forty is intentionally small and welcoming. You’ll train alongside women with similar goals, supported by a coach who understands the physical and mental side of training after 40.
