Functional Strength & Cardio: After 40
This program is specifically designed for adults 40+—a pivotal stage for protecting muscle mass and bone density. By blending functional strength training with heart-healthy cardio, we provide a comprehensive approach to "aging well" . Whether you are physically active, spend your day at a desk, or recently completed physical therapy, this program helps you move better and feel stronger.
The Experience
Join a certified trainer for a 45-minute small-group session (4–10 participants) featuring:
Functional Strength: Compound movements using body weight, resistance bands, and weights that translate to better everyday performance and injury reduction.
Targeted Cardio: Low-impact and medium intervals and agility drills—such as marching, modified jacks, and side shuffles—tailored to your fitness level to boost heart health and VO2 max.
Stretching Segment: Yoga stretching after a 40+ strength and cardio class focuses on reversing the muscle contraction and cardiovascular stress from the workout to promote faster recovery and joint longevity.

Directions:
Step 1: Don't Let the Signs Confuse You!The Street Sign: When you turn in from Village Center Loop Road, you will see a prominent sign for Pacific Trails Middle School. Turn into this driveway anyway!The Parking Lot: You will find yourself in a massive, shared parking lot utilized by both the middle school and Canyon Crest Academy (CCA). You are in the right place. Park anywhere in this main lot.
Step 2: Look for the 17,000 sq ft Rec Center: Look for the Pacific Highlands Ranch Recreation Center building. It sits right on the edge of the sprawling 5-acre grass community park field.
Step 3: Walk to the Concrete Overhang: I teach directly under the massive building overhang next to the covered patio/shade structures right by the edge of the park field. If you see the open green fields or the nearby playground structures, you are just a few steps away!
