How Connie Became Stronger and More Confident in Her 70s

These women weren’t starting from perfect conditions. They were busy, tired, unsure.
All looking for something that finally made sense for their life.

CONNIE, 70 YEARS OLD

THE CHALLENGE
Approaching her 70th birthday, Constance wanted to improve her fitness and body composition but wasn’t sure what was safe, effective, or sustainable long term. She had specific goals, upcoming athletic events, and later faced a significant knee injury that made training feel uncertain.

TRAINING WITH TONY
Tony designed a fully personalized program based on Connie's goals, continuously adjusting her training over the years to match new challenges like Spartan races, the Senior Games, and injury recovery. When she became injured, Tony immediately restructured her workouts to maintain strength while protecting her knee — ensuring progress never stopped.

THE OUTCOME
Connie is now stronger and more fit than she was in her youth. Over more than three years of consistent coaching, she’s built strength, confidence, and resilience — even through injury. Beyond physical results, she gained trust in her body, confidence in her abilities, and a long-term training system she can rely on.
