It’s Never Too Late to Get Stronger

I’m too old to start now.” “I’ve never done strength training before.” “What if I’m not fit enough?”

These are the stories we tell ourselves but here’s what the science says:

A study from McMaster University (2014) showed that adults in their 70s and even 80s can gain strength, mobility and independence with just 12 weeks of guided strength training.
In fact, one of the study’s lead researchers said:

“Muscle is like a renewable resource — it responds to training at any age.”

Whether you’re 35 or 65, your body can adapt. You can feel better, move easier, and build confidence again. It just takes a clear plan, the right guidance, and a supportive environment.

WHAT WE SEE EVERY WEEK AT EXCITE:

In our gym, it’s not unusual to see:
- A 60-year-old lifting a barbell for the first time
- A client in her 50s learning to plank without back pain
- A former non-exerciser rediscovering what their body is capable of.

And they all started with the same mindset:
“I’ll give it a go.”

They didn’t wait until they were “fit enough.”

They just started — and that’s what made the difference.

YOUR INVITATION: FIRE STARTS MONDAY 21 JULY

The FIRE Program (Focused Intense Resistance Exercise) is a 10-week journey designed for everyday adults, not gym junkies.
We’ll guide you through the process with:
✔️ Small-group support
✔️ Expert coaching
✔️ A focus on real-world strength, not just reps

No shouting. No mirrors. Just real results.

Yours in health and fitness,
Coach Chris

WANT MORE ENERGY AND A SHARPER MIND? START HERE.

We all know that exercise is good for us. But what most people don’t realise is just how powerful strength training is for your mind.

Not only does lifting weights improve bone and joint health, it literally rewires your brain for better focus, mood, and memory.

A major study by the University of Sydney (2016) found that adults aged 55+ who strength trained just twice a week experienced:
- Sharper mental function
- Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression
- Lower risk of age-related cognitive decline

And this wasn’t just about feeling good post-workout. Their brain scans showed long-term structural improvements in areas responsible for memory and decision-making.

WHY IT MATTERS

If you’ve felt mentally foggy, low on energy, or a bit “off” it might not be just stress or age. It could be your muscles sending the message.

Muscle isn’t just for lifting things. It plays a key role in your metabolism, hormone balance, and daily energy.

More muscle = more vitality.

And unlike endless cardio, resistance training provides long-lasting benefits, even 24–48 hours after your session ends.

REAL PEOPLE, REAL RESULTS

In our FIRE program, we’ve seen clients aged 40 through to 65 say things like:
“I can think more clearly during work meetings.”
“I sleep better, and I don’t hit the 3pm energy crash anymore.”
“I just feel more like myself again.”

That’s what happens when you train with intention and support.

YOUR NEXT STEP

🔥 Our next round of FIRE (Focused Intense Resistance Exercise) kicks off Monday 21st July.

Over 10 weeks, we’ll coach you through safe, proven strength training, no matter your current level, so you can move better, feel energised, and take charge of your health.

You’ll get:
- Individual support
- Small-group sessions
- A clear plan for results

Why Strength Training Is Your Body’s Secret Weapon (At Any Age)

As we get older, staying strong becomes less about vanity — and more about vitality.

By the time we hit our 40s and 50s, our bodies naturally begin to lose muscle mass — a condition known as sarcopenia. Left unchecked, this loss affects balance, metabolism, joint health, and even independence in later years. But here's the good news: this process is completely reversible — with the right kind of training.

That’s where strength and resistance training comes in.
A major study from Harvard Medical School (2019) found that strength training in adults over 50 improves muscle mass, bone density, and physical function, and reduces the risk of falls by a staggering 34%. Even just two sessions per week can significantly improve mobility and confidence.

And it’s not about lifting heavy weights or “bulking up”. It’s about:
- Moving better
- Building joint support
- Reclaiming strength you didn’t know you’d lost

At Excite, our members tell us:
“I can carry groceries more easily. I’m sleeping better. I don’t ache like I used to. My back is best it's felt in ages!”

That’s what strength training really offers: freedom.
You don’t need to be fit to start strength training. You just need to start.

YOUR NEXT STEP
Our next 10 Week FIRE (Focused Intense Resistance Exercise) program starts Monday 21st July. It’s designed for real people, especially those aged 35–65 who want to feel stronger, more capable, and in control of their health.
- No experience needed
- Individual support and coaching
- Small, friendly training environment

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start — this is it. And we’ll guide you every step of the way.

The Story behind Excite

Chris has been very successful in business throughout his life, but his passion is helping people achieve their dreams through health and wellbeing. When you have your life in balance with good health through fitness and nutrition, anything in life becomes possible.

How did this transition happen from corporate CEO to Excite Health and Fitness?

Well, some time in the early 2000’s, I was 15kg more than I am now, my mates were telling me I was a prime candidate for a heart attack, my wife was worried about me…but I motored on…working long hours, and not having much perspective in life.

Then the penny dropped. Not sure why…something to do with not fitting into clothes anymore, how I just felt unwell, but really it was wife and family – they needed me and I wasn’t doing my end of the bargain.
