My story didn't start with fitness. It started with frustration
For years I fought my own body. Then I joined a boot camp at 46 and the weight gradually came off — but that's not the part that changed me. It was the first time in my adult life I felt strong. Capable. Like myself again.
I've spent the last ten years as a certified trainer helping women find that same feeling. And as I've gotten older, menopause rewrote the rules. Weight shows up differently. Recovery takes longer. What worked at 35 simply doesn't work at 55.
Learning a new framework for my own health — not fighting my body, but working with it — is exactly why I can meet you where you are.
That's why I created Bloom50 Collective: a space built specifically for women like you.
The photo on the right is the one I remember — not because of the number on the scale, but because it was the first time I felt strong.
Fitness after 50 isn't about chasing who you used to be. It's about discovering what you're capable of right now.
I, like many of us, have limitations or injury, and Kim is spot on with offering an adaptation of the exercise. Whether you're just getting started, maintaining, or looking for a challenge, these sessions are a great way to get on your way.
The approach
Why I built Bloom50
Most trainers hand you a workout. With certifications in personal training (NASM), nutrition (Precision Nutrition Level 1) and stretching and flexibility (NASM), I take a whole-person approach. We work together on movement, nutrition, and the habits that make real change stick — not just for a season, but for the long run.
Every week I lead in-person group training for women here in Mount Pleasant. In addition, I offer personal training — on your own or with a friend — as well as virtual one-on-one coaching.
Who this is for
You might recognize yourself here
- Menopause moved in and brought belly fat with it — and it does not respond to logic.
- Your doctor said “bone loss” and suddenly you're wondering if it's too late to do anything about it.
- You've always figured weights were for bodybuilders — not someone like you.
- You grabbed a railing going down the stairs last week and thought, when did that start happening?
If any of those landed, you're in the right place. Not one of them means you've left it too late.
You don't need to have it all figured out to start
You just need to show up. I'll meet you right where you are. Let's talk for fifteen minutes and see if we fit.
