DURRATION/TIME COMMITMENT

12 weeks, 3 workouts per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for sustainable progress without overwhelming recovery. Workouts are around 45 minutes of focused, efficient training — dynamic warm-ups, main strength/conditioning blocks, finishers, and targeted cool-downs for mobility and recovery.

FOCUS

Total-body strength (alternating lower pull/upper push and lower push/upper pull days), functional conditioning, core resilience, joint-friendly mobility, and the mental grit to stay consistent and capable at any age.

BUILD AND MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH
WHY DO THIS PROGRAM

Building on the success of last year's Preseason Prep 50+, this program serves double duty: an approachable entry point for anyone just getting started (or restarting after time off), and a smart "Postseason Strength" rebuild for hunters coming out of big-game season feeling beat-up but motivated to maintain gains.

Focus alternates between balanced pushes/pulls, lower-body emphasis, and recovery-focused elements to rebuild joint health, fight age-related decline, and ensure you're Always Ready — whether prepping for next season, recovering from the mountains, or simply staying capable for life's demands. Sessions emphasize controlled movements, smart progression, and modifications for all levels, so you build sustainably without burnout or injury risk. You'll finish stronger, more balanced, and with the functional toughness that keeps you in the game longer.

Meet Your Coach: Sarah Machino

A Division-1-soccer-player-turned-personal-trainer, Sarah knows a thing or two about what it takes to get stronger and become a better athlete. It’s all part of the training process – and one she is passionate about. When the Tennessee native isn’t crushing life in the mountains, she’s busy fostering mental toughness for all levels (from beginner to elite) by creating workouts intended to push you to your limits – physically and mentally – and make you stronger inside and out.

“Fitness should be treated as a means to conquer all of your passions — whether it be recreational, professional, spiritual, or your relationships,” says Sarah, who is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine and has certificates in Corrective Exercise and Performance Enhancement. 

“We can build our bodies and minds to gain confidence and toughness for any endeavor we choose!  But we have to take the first step. Even if we need our hand held a bit.”
