Strong Over 60: Strength Training That Supports Real Life
There’s a common idea that once you hit your 60s, the goal is to slow down, be careful, and avoid anything that looks “too hard.”
But for many people, that doesn’t actually feel right.
You still want to travel. Carry groceries without thinking about it. Climb stairs confidently. Stay active, social, and independent. You don’t want to stop challenging yourself — you just want to do it smartly.
That’s exactly why we created Strong Over 60.
At Empower Every Body Fitness in Vancouver, we work with adults in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who want to stay strong, capable, and confident for the long run.
Strength After 60 Isn’t About Pushing Less — It’s About Training Better
As we age, strength, balance, and conditioning don’t become less important — they become more important.
Muscle mass, coordination, and joint health play a huge role in how confidently we move through daily life. When those decline, everyday tasks start to feel harder than they should. When they’re supported properly, life feels more capable and enjoyable.
The key isn’t random workouts or “just staying active.”
It’s thoughtful, coached strength training that respects where your body is now — and helps you keep moving forward.
Introducing Strong Over 60
Strong Over 60 is a 6-week, small-group fitness program for adults aged 60+ who want to:
Stay strong
Move well
Continue challenging themselves — safely and intelligently
This program is built around functional fitness: strength, balance, and conditioning that directly support real life. You’ll work on stronger legs and arms, better balance, improved endurance, and the confidence to move with purpose — whether that’s carrying groceries, climbing stairs, travelling, or keeping up with an active lifestyle.
Classes are welcoming, engaging, and fully coached. You’ll work hard, move with intention, and leave feeling accomplished.
No ego. No chaos.
Just smart training, good people, and progress you can feel.
What Makes Strong Over 60 Different
This isn’t a watered-down class — and it’s not a bootcamp either.
Each session is designed to support long-term health, performance, and confidence through:
Functional strength for legs, hips, core, and upper body
Balance and coordination to improve stability and reduce fall risk
Joint health and mobility to keep movement smooth and resilient
Cardiovascular conditioning to support heart health and stamina
Confidence under load, so daily tasks — and workouts — feel more manageable
Every exercise is adaptable and scalable. That means you’re always working at a level that feels appropriately challenging for you — not trying to keep up with someone else.
Who Strong Over 60 Is For
Strong Over 60 is a great fit if you:
Want to maintain — or build — strength, balance, and mobility as you age
Are new to fitness or already active and want to keep pushing safely

Value a supportive, social training environment
No previous fitness experience is required. We meet you where you’re at — and help you move forward from there.
