Personal Training for Seniors

Michael is the author, producer/host of “The Elements of Being” podcast, Senior Fitness Specialist, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and has been personal training clients in Denver since 2005 (over 20,000 hours of one-on-one sessions). His comprehensive (individualized) personal training programs have helped seniors increase their level of independence, decrease pain/the risk of falling, lower cholesterol levels, and eliminate the symptoms resulting from diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, and more. 

Michael’s "Joint Protection and Muscular Endurance" philosophy and Fall Prevention Programs are based on the guidelines from the American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and American Geriatric Society. Utilizing a series of assessments and analyses, he develops adaptable personal training programs for his clients to complete pain-free in my comfortable, non-competitive personal training studio (a private facility...which means fewer people and more room). Without a doubt, Michael’s senior fitness clients achieve more muscle and bone strength, range of motion, and endurance without causing inflammation in their bodies (Read Michael’s personal trainer reviews below). Most importantly, they redefine themselves with new control and confidence over their physical and mental selves (and without over-the-top exercises- no gimmicks needed to achieve what they want).

WEIGHT LOSS DIET PROGRAMS

Michael will integrate the structure, education, and more within your Denver personal training sessions. The adaptive meal planning portion of the experience is collaborative and based on observation, your wants and needs, and current and desired lifestyles (not just handing out a simple meal plan). It’ll help you create a whole food foundation to steer your dietary choices (aka what you can get away with for those who still want to include meat in their diet). Additional services include:

Trip to the Grocery Store - How do you decipher between healthy and not at your grocery store? Michael will help you answer this during your trip with him to your grocery store in Denver. For 60 minutes, Michael will guide you through the breakdown of your choices and create the perfect list!  $94 (Normally $125)

Create a Weight Loss Kitchen – Creating a conducive environment for weight loss is the key to long-term success. Michael will help you reorganize your kitchen to trick your mind into weight loss and develop quick and easy cooking habits in Denver.  $94 (Normally $125)

Lifestyle Course (Limited Time Only with a Personal Training Package) – This comprehensive course covers the foundation of whole food plant-based eating and the unique ways to integrate a new structure into your daily life. Michael will discuss nutrition during your one-on-one fitness sessions (e.g., your current dietary patterns, choices, obstacles, and other observations). Each personal training client will receive weekly homework (activities), different meal plans with extensive resources, Dr. Fuhrman’s book “End of Dieting,” and other tools for sustainable change.

PERSONAL TRAINER Reviews

Susan, 64, Business

"Michael's workouts are always enjoyable because there's plenty of variety and it's never boring. I've lost 12 lbs and 6 inches around my waist! I feel great and enjoy the compliments I receive from friends and family. I would tell anyone starting to exercise to use a personal trainer as your springboard to a healthier lifestyle."

Jim, 54, Human Resources Director

"Michael has helped me overcome a previous physical injury and the natural physical downsides of aging. He has improved my flexibility and core strength and rehabilitated previous surgeries to the point of being able to play golf almost pain-free for the first time in years."

Sandee, 65, Retired Teacher

"Michael is a delight! HE is truly interested in your success and strives to help you achieve your goals. The hour goes by so quickly...I have been very satisfied with my results."

Belkis, 59, Business

"I discovered Michael Moody when I bid on a package he generously offered at a non-profit fundraiser, I went to the personal training sessions offered and signed on to continue seeing Michael. He is very thoughtful of your needs and has an approach that is very holistic-incorporating your personal physical and life goals (which includes discussions on your nutrition and your life). Michael is affable, knowledgeable, and professional in every sense and takes a different, more inclusive aspect to training and results-driven change (compared to other experiences with personal trainers). I am very pleased with noticeable results after two months of training..."
