In-Home and Online Personal Training for Women Over 40 in Chesapeake, VA
Strength Training Built for the Body You Have Now
I’m a NASM-certified trainer. I work with women over 40 building strength from the ground up, in your home or online.
How I Train Women Over 40
Estrogen helps build and keep muscle and bone, and it drops through perimenopause. Every program I write is built to counter that loss, which shapes how the training is set up:
- Strength for everyday life: training built around the lifting and carrying you already do, like groceries into the trunk and luggage into the overhead bin.
- Recovery on the calendar: a planned lighter week every 4 to 6 weeks.
- More than heavier weights: progress that comes from tempo, reps, and sets, not just adding load.
- Nutrition guidance: food choices, calorie goals, and protein targets, so you keep as much muscle as possible while you lose weight.
- Check-ins that change the plan: what’s working, what isn’t, which exercises you love and which you loathe.

Deb Simpson
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
I work with women in perimenopause and postmenopause who are starting strength training from scratch or coming back after time off.
I build their strength training and nutrition guidance around the body they have now, so they get stronger, lose weight, and feel at home in their bodies again.
