TRUE TRANSFORMATION
In their 80's, Michael and Rhoda were experiencing the impacts of age related decline.
Rhoda struggled with osteoporosis and couldn't stand upright. She experienced regular pain and needed a walker for support. Michael was feeling the impact of muscle mass loss, causing him to walk slower and note a decrease in his mobility.
They tried approaches like physical therapy or light resistance training. Nothing seemed to work.

UNTIL ONE YEAR AGO
Their daughter, Clare Johnston from The Honest Channel, interviewed a Starting Strength Gyms Coach to learn more about Starting Strength and how it could be used to build stronger muscle and bone.
Shortly after, her parents decided to begin online strength coaching with Starting Strength Gyms.

THE IMPROVEMENT WAS CLEAR
Clare documented her parent's journey with Starting Strength Gyms and showed the world how strength training successfully turned her parent's lives around.
After a year of coaching, Michael and Rhoda gained back what they previously thought impossible.

"Cannot Recommend Starting Strength Enough!"
I cannot recommend Starting Strength enough! I am a 61 year old who never played sports in my life and hated gym class when I was in school. I randomly watched a YouTube video (The Honest Channel) about an older couple, in their eighties who live in Scotland, using weights to rebuild strength. They were remote training with Chris Reis at Starting Strength Cincinnati!
I began 2 months ago and convinced my 66 year old sister to join me. I absolutely love it and I love the owner, the coaches and my fellow lifters. Bad aging things were starting to take me down but now I have the ability to fight back. I'm excited about the future and where strength training will take me.

"Starting Strength has changed my life."
After 3 years of membership, I think it's fair to say that Starting Strength has changed my life. After injuries in college sports in my 20s, and having kids in my 30s, I thought I'd never get my 20 year old strength back again, but I was wrong. Now in my 40s I'm stronger than ever, and it's made my life easier and more confident.
The approach -- science-informed good form with progressive overload -- works. The coaches have challenged me beyond what I thought I was capable of, but never in a way that pushed my limits or caused me to hurt myself. I don't know what I'd do without my SS gym.

"I'm AMAZED at the progress I've made!"
I'm AMAZED at the progress I've made!!! I was having trouble getting off the floor without holding onto something (I'm 55) have no grand children yet and when that day comes I want to be able to play with them freely so I knew I needed help. I randomly came across some of the stories on YouTube where people in their 80's were making incredible progress doing SS so I knew it would help me. I could barely do a squat with my own body weight when I started.
Now after 4 weeks I can squat 75lbs.
If you're on the fence about joining just try it! Your health is worth the money!!!
