We’ve Walked This Journey Too
We’re Darla and Chris, a husband-and-wife team, certified personal trainers, and passionate advocates for health after 50.
After retirement, we gained weight, felt sluggish, and struggled with declining health. We knew something had to change. Through dedication and consistency, we transformed our own lives and now we’re here to help you do the same.
We believe discipline is built, not born. With the right support and guidance, you can feel strong, healthy, and independent at any age.

Carol, 84
Went from struggling to stand without using her hands to curling 10lb weights and moving independently
Donna, 58
A university professor who loved cardio but discovered the power of strength training. She feels stronger, leaner, and more confident
Dean in SATX
With First Coast Fitness, I learned how to eat more, lose 1–2 lbs a week, and follow a senior-friendly exercise plan. The guidance and support have been life-changing for my health.

You want to feel good again, but don’t know where to start.
You’re not alone and you don’t have to do this by yourself.
