Workouts for 55+
Does this sound like you?
You’ve tried working out in a large boot camp…but all the jumping and bouncing around isn't very fun on your joints.
You’ve tried things like pilates and yoga…but you know you need more strength work and some type of age-appropriate cardio/conditioning to help your cardiovascular system.
At BCS Fitness, we LOVE getting to work with folks 55+! We understand that no two clients are the same and the needs a client who is 25 is very different than someone who is 55+! This is exactly why we do not offer large-group fitness solutions.
What to grab an easy win? Sign up for a “28-Day Fitness Jump Start” to get the ball rolling. You start by meeting with a seasoned certified personal trainer 1 on 1 and then will move into a customized personal training program for the remainder of your four-week journey!

We’d be happy to chat and discuss if a customized personal training program at one of our two locations is right for you!
Advise to College Station Mom in her 40s
Maybe you can relate to this person...
A busy College Station mom in her 40s visited us last week to see if we might be a good fit where she is at in her health/fitness.
She has kids between the ages of 10 and 16 and her husband works out of town on a regular basis. The older kids are CRAZY busy with their afterschool activities and the younger ones still need a good amount of her attention.
She felt frustrated because she was always feeling run down and didn't have the physical or emotional energy to really be present for her kids.
She used to workout regularly when the kids were younger and loved how she felt and looked...but now their schedule demands have made it difficult to get back into the habit of working out. She'd tried apps and other drop-in class-based bootcamp, HIIT studios, and large groups...but they didn't provide the accountability and support she needed.
She was tired or feeling frustrated and rundown and decided to make a change!
SOLUTION (specific to her situation)
Given her hectic schedule, we made the personal recommendation to her to start off working with us in customized personal training 2 days per week doing strength training, mobility work, and smart conditioning. The hope would be to progress her to 3 days per week...but given her busy schedule, the most important thing is to get consistent and START.
She also talked with a nutrition coach this week to discuss losing a little extra body fat and is going to be making 2 small changes in her afternoon food routine that will pay big dividends in how she feels and looks!
We are excited about this unique solution for this busy mom...but what about YOU? What do you need right now to feel and look your best?
Reach out and let us start the conversation about what type of customized personal training program would fit you. Call/text us at 979-575-7871 to set up a simple 3-5 min discovery call to make sure we are a great fit for you!
Get Results, Not Injuries
Does this sound like you? You like to work hard, but your back/knees/etc also pay the price when you try to do the same workout you did back in college.
The problem is that the workout that was best for you at 25 is not the right workout for you at 35, 45, 55, etc. If you want to get results and stay in the game and not battle injury and inconsistency...you need a training plan that is more evolved than the one did years ago.
This recent quote from a client interview says it all...
"As I entered my 40's I discovered that all of the barbell work I was doing at my old box CrossFit was killing my back. I've really enjoyed how my coach at BCS Fitness works with me and helps me make progress in my mobility and strength without irritating my back like my old CF workouts did."
You can look, move, and feel better at any age and don't have to beat your body up to see positive change.
The right movements, the right intensity, the consistency, and a smart nutrition plan can do the trick. You DON'T have to go to extremes.

Focus On what you can control
If you want to finish the year strong, stay with your “Sphere of Control”.
That means focusing on things you CAN control, like:
Your workouts
The food you eat
Your consistency
Are these things exciting? Admittedly, no! But they’re what will help you reach those “bigger” payoffs without the journey feeling so… big.
For example:
Consistent workouts will help you boost energy and burn more fat
Doing regular breathwork or meditation will help you feel calmer (and maybe even reduce emotional eating)
And so on.
Are there things that are totally OUT of your control, like weather, global politics, and genetics? Of course. But it’s not worth your time to worry about them!
So, what 1-2 actions in your “control” sphere can you take to finish 2023 feeling healthier, stronger, and fitter than ever?
