Get Stronger After 50 Without Beating Up Your Body.
Online coaching designed by a 62-year-old trainer who lived it, built a system around it, and is still getting stronger.
You’ve Been Lied to About Fitness After 50
You’ve Been Told:
“Just do more cardio to lose the gut.”
This burns muscle, not fat. You end up "skinny-fat" and weaker.
“You’re too old to lift weights.”
You’re not. You just need the right approach for your body.
“Eat less and move more.”
Starving yourself kills your metabolism and makes you miserable.
The Truth?
You don’t need to push yourself with endless cardio or starve yourself. And you definitely don’t need a 25-year-old trainer who’s never felt joint pain.
You need a system built for your body, at your age, by someone who’s actually done it.
The FiftyPlus Method: Build Your Armor
Here’s How We Do It.
Resistance Training — The Foundation
We build strength in a way your body can handle and build on. Movements that protect your joints and spine.
Mobility work that keeps you moving freely. Progressive loading that challenges you without wrecking you.
Intelligent, structured training that makes you stronger, reduces aches, and builds the resilience that carries into everything else you do.
Protein-First Nutrition
Most people over 50 are not eating enough protein. And when you are trying to build muscle, that is the single biggest thing holding you back.
The fix is simple: anchor every meal around protein. Not a meal plan. Not calorie counting. Just a clear, repeatable system that fuels muscle growth, keeps you full, and works whether you are traveling, eating out, or cooking at home.
You will learn how much you need, the best sources, and how to build it into your life permanently. Not a diet. A framework.
The Recovery Advantage
Most people think more is better. More sessions, more intensity, more effort. But at 50+, how well you recover determines how well you progress.
Sleep is when your muscles rebuild. Walking keeps inflammation low. Mobility work maintains the range of motion that keeps you out of the doctor's office.
This is not optional. It is the system that keeps you training consistently and getting stronger, while others stall and break down.
Why This Works:
Muscle is your metabolic engine.
It burns calories at rest, protects your joints, stabilizes your back and knees, and keeps you functional and capable for decades.
Build the muscle and everything else follows. Fat loss, energy, better sleep, more confidence.

Real Results from Real People
Craig specializes in the over-50 crowd, whose bodies are more fragile and prone to injury. He's very aware of my limits and how to work through them. Craig also educated me on diet and supplements to help maximize the training and improve my overall energy and health. I've been training with Craig for around nine months now. More mobility, less pain; it's like finding the fountain of youth! Training with Craig is the best investment I ever made!
Steve Goldstein
I had the privilege of working with Craig for 6 months, and the experience was truly impactful. During that time, I lost weight, gained muscle, learned a great deal about my health, and shifted my mindset around fitness and well-being.
I highly recommend Craig and Fifty Plus Fitness, especially if you haven’t been in a gym for a long time, feel unsure where to begin, or want a trainer who truly sees you as an individual rather than a program.
Cole Harvey
I am very happy to recommend Craig for his expertise and personalized fitness coaching he has provided to me.
Craig spent a good deal of time gathering information about my physical history, surgeries, nutrition, and prior surgeries to design a program to meet my needs.
I would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being. Craig creates a very safe and encouraging experience.
Laura Eversole
Craig is great. After getting back to it (I'm 56) after a long time, Craig listened to what I was saying, and created a plan that worked me back into the swing of things and got my body working again. He created a great program for me that combined active stretching and strength building in a fun (kind of, lol) and compact 1 hour session 3 times a week. After 5 weeks I am stronger, free from back pain, and have formed a sustainable and reasonable routine that gets results, and can be done quickly and efficiently. 100/100 would recommend.

Why Listen to a 62-Year-Old Trainer?
I’m not your typical trainer. I spent 30 years in marketing and brand strategy. I didn't get certified as a personal trainer until I was 59.
Why? Because I was tired of trainers who didn't understand what it's like to be over 50. Who've never felt chronic back pain. Who push the same no pain, no gain nonsense that sidelines people our age with injuries.
At 62, I'm stronger and leaner than I was at 32. Not because I found some magic protocol. Because I figured out what actually works for bodies like ours.
I built this program for myself first. Then I built it for people like you.
I'm not here to impress you with how much I can lift. I'm here to show you that it's not too late. That you can get stronger, feel better, and build the fitness habit that keeps you capable for decades.

FAQs
Common Questions About the FiftyPlus Fitness Online Program
I’ve never lifted before. Can I do this?
Absolutely. Most of my clients haven’t touched a weight in years (or ever). We start where you are and build from there.
What if I have joint pain or injuries?
That’s exactly why I built this program. We work around your limitations, not through them. Proper form and controlled movements protect your joints, not destroy them
Do I need a gym membership?
No. You can train at home or at a gym, either works.
If you want to train at home, I’ll provide you with a curated equipment list (dumbbells, resistance bands, bench) so you’re not guessing what to buy. You’ll have exactly what you need, nothing more.
If you have access to a gym, great. We'll design your program around whatever equipment you have available.
Your choice. Same results.
What if I can’t do 3 workouts per week?
Then this probably isn't the right fit. Consistency is the key. If you can't commit to 3 sessions/week, you won't see the results you want.
Is this online-only or can I train in person?
This is the online program. If you're in Fort Collins, CO, we can discuss in-person options separately.
What if I don't see results in 4 weeks?
Let’s be honest, real transformation takes time.
In 4 weeks, you’ll see:
- Improved energy and recovery
- Better movement patterns and form
- Initial strength gains
- Momentum and confidence
But losing 20 pounds or deadlifting 200 lbs? That takes longer.
This program is about building the foundation and the HABIT. If you follow the plan—show up for your workouts, hit your protein targets, and stay consistent—you will see measurable progress in 4 weeks.
If you don’t, we'll figure out why and adjust. But understand: this isn’t a quick fix. It’s a long-term investment in your health.
Most clients should continue for 12+ weeks because that’s when the real transformation happens.
Your Second Half Is Not a Decline.
It Is a Rebuild.
You have a choice.
You can accept the slow slide. The stiffness. The weakness. The growing gap between the life you want and the body that has to show up for it.
Or you can build the armor that protects you for the next 20 years.
Stop trying to be who you were at 30.
