If you’ve ever thought you’re too old, too out of shape, or unsure where to begin with strength training, this story is for you. Meet Christine, a BFT member at BFT Franklin Village.
“I joined BFT in late November after a year long weight loss journey and a weight loss of 40lbs. At 63 years old I knew there was a part of my health journey that was missing & BFT seemed like the right fit.”
After significant weight loss, this member realized that building strength, improving energy, and supporting long-term health required more than just cardio—it required a structured strength training program.
“As someone who had not formally exercised in over 30 years, boy, was I in for a surprise!”
“From my first class (Strength Endurance), where I expected to feel like a fish out of water, the trainers were right there to explain each of the exercises, what muscle groups we were working, helping to correct my form and offer encouragement.”
Starting strength training for beginners can feel intimidating, but expert coaching and proper guidance make all the difference—helping you build confidence while learning correct form and technique.
Real Results Beyond Weight Loss
“A short time later, the 8 week challenge was announced & I thought, why not? It has been life changing! I thought I wanted to focus on continued weight loss, but as the weeks, workouts and advice from coaches continued I realized I had more specific areas of focus. I learned my daily calorie intake was far below what I needed… I learned so much about the impact nutrition has on your life and will always be grateful for that.”
A well-rounded fitness plan combines strength training and nutrition, helping you fuel your body properly, build lean muscle, and improve overall health.
More Than a Gym—A Coaching Community
“Without the coaches, BFT would just be another gym. Their level of knowledge, compassion, understanding, encouragement, support & sense of fun has made my experience more than I could have imagined. This is an amazing community that I never knew existed and now feel 100% part of.”
With expert-led sessions and a supportive environment, BFT combines group strength training, accountability, and coaching to help members stay on track.
Just Start
“Last week I completed my 50th class & am now looking forward to 100! For anyone that thinks ‘I'm too old, too out of shape or uncomfortable in a group setting’ I would say, JUST DO IT. My best piece of advice would be, just keep showing up!”
