I’m a Certified Functional Strength Coach & Nutrition Coach working with men and women 35 and older providing tailored strength programs and individualized nutrition support. As we age, we face new physical and mental challenges and it feels overwhelming.
- Are you exercising but still gaining weight?
- Feeling overwhelmed on what to eat and how much to eat?
- Have you tried different fad diets (low carb, low fat, carnivore, vegan, intermittent fasting, etc) and continue to gain weight?
- Struggling with creating a nutrition and exercise plan that works best for you?
- Wondering what supplements you should buy?
- Wondering what’s the best exercise program to gain muscle?
There’s one answer to all these questions: IT DEPENDS. There’s no “one size fits all” approach. Your age, current lifestyle, family obligations, financial resources, environment and goals should be taken into consideration when mapping out your fitness and nutrition plan.
That’s where I come in. I’ve coached men and women of all shapes and sizes, with physical limitations and dietary challenges. My coaching isn’t based on trends, it’s based on the individual and science based methods. I take time to learn as much I can about you so we can develop habits and systems that work best to help support your nutrition and fitness goals.
If you’re open to a new approach, I’m ready for you.

Fitness Coaching
Train for the life you want to live! Strength training is an investment in your future self. As we age, muscle mass naturally declines. Strength training allows us to maintain and build muscle which is crucial for overall health and well-being. More muscle means:
- Increased Strength and Mobility: Muscle mass helps improve strength, balance, and mobility, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. This is critical for preserving independence as we age and for maintaining an active lifestyle.
- Enhanced Bone Health: Improved bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that affects many older adults, particularly women.
- Better Insulin Sensitivity: More muscle means better glucose regulation, which can help prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, a common condition in older adults.
- Improved Mental Health: Strength training and muscle-building exercises have been shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and boost cognitive function. These benefits help foster a positive outlook as we age.
- Increased Functional Capacity: Building muscle enhances the body’s ability to perform everyday tasks, such as lifting groceries, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair. This contributes to a higher quality of life and longer-term independence.

What Clients are Saying
I approached Mitra for personal training a few years ago after turning 40 and noticing my arms weren’t as strong as they once were. I was a reluctant, and at times, unmotivated client. Mitra was amazing. She would workout with me, explaining and modeling each technique as we laughed and powered through difficult routines with energetic playlists. Every workout was personalized, safe, and fun. She is both personable and knowledgeable, and I saw results.Thanks Mitra! -Amani D.
