BJ turned 50 and did what a lot of women do at that point. She read everything she could find about perimenopause, about what happens to muscle and bone in the decades after, and about why strength training kept coming up as the answer. She knew what she needed to do. The problem was doing it. The thought of walking into a gym was enough to keep putting it off, month after month.

Once she started, the beginner phase was shorter than she feared. Her deadlift became the lift that surprised her most, and when an injury along the way could have ended the whole thing, she trained through the recovery instead and kept building.

What she's chasing now is more specific than when she began. Balance, which she always assumed was fine until the exercises told her otherwise. And enough strength to hold up on the trails she wants to be running.

Starting was the hard part, and VAMOS took that part off her. The cubes mean she trains supported rather than watched, and when her injury happened her coaches went straight to her physio so she could keep training safely.
