You’re Never Too Old to Start Exercising

Let’s set the record straight: you’re never too old to start moving and exercising your body, getting stronger, or feeling proud of yourself for doing something that supports your well-being. At Reimagym, we believe deeply—like, deep in our glitter-covered, inclusive hearts—that every body at every age deserves the chance to feel good while moving their body and exercising.

“But I’ve Never Worked Out Before…”

Cool. That actually makes you one of our favorite kinds of people to work with. Most of our members were people who were turned off by fitness for many different reasons and came to us with little or no fitness background.

Somewhere along the way, fitness culture decided to make people feel like if they hadn’t started when they were younger, they missed their shot. We reject that entirely. Movement isn’t a competition or a race. It’s a relationship—and like any good relationship, you can start it at any time in life.

Strength Training Isn’t Just for the Young 

Here’s the thing: as we age, staying strong and mobile becomes even more important. Strength training helps with balance, confidence, bone density, joint health, and—let’s be real—feeling way more capable doing everyday things like picking up groceries or getting up off the floor without it turning into something that feels like a big hurdle. Additionally, here’s the empowering part, intentional movement and strength training can slow significantly improve confidence and strength and balance, even if you’re starting in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond.

And no, starting later in life doesn’t mean you’re “behind.” It just means your fitness journey has its own starting point, just like everyone else at the gym.  It looks different for everyone—and different is welcome here.

We Start Where You Are (Not Where Fitness Culture Says You “Should” Be)

At Reimagym, we don’t believe in “should.” We believe in showing up, moving how your body feels good moving, and celebrating every win—whether that’s lifting a weight, nailing your first deadlift hip hinge, or simply feeling more at ease in your body. We start your fitness journey where it’s best for you and grow with you from there.

If you’re imagining a loud, high-pressure gym with a bunch of neon tank tops yelling “NO PAIN, NO GAIN”—that’s not Reimagym. We’re the gym where people of all ages train side-by-side, cheering each other on, asking how your weekend was, and celebrating when someone learns how to plank without holding their breath.

Here’s What Happens When You Start Moving—At Any Age

  • You begin to trust your body more. Yay confidence!
  • Stairs get easier.
  • Balance improves-reducing fall risks.
  • Bone density increases.
  • Stability or mobility improves.
  • Picking up the 40lb kitty litter or pet food back gets easier.
  • Confidence sneaks in quietly and then suddenly makes itself at home.
  • You realize it was never about being “athletic”—it was about building a life where your body supports the things you love doing.

So, If You’ve Been Wondering Whether It’s Too Late…

Consider this your official invitation to throw that thought straight into the recycle bin.

Whether you’re 40, 60, or 80—we will meet you exactly where you are and move forward with you. No judgment. No asking you to do movements you’re not ready for. Just compassionate coaching, inclusive community, and a whole lot of cheering for things that matter.

Because at Reimagym, we believe that every age is a great age to start moving. And the best time to begin? Whenever you’re ready.
