How Laurel Hollow Residents Build Strength Safely After 40 with AB Fitness Personal Training
If you live in Laurel Hollow, NY, and you’re over 40, you’ve likely noticed a few changes in your body. Your joints might be stiffer in the morning, you may feel more tired after basic errands, and workouts that once felt easy now leave you sore or frustrated.
For many adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, this is the moment they realize something needs to change. But where do you turn?
-
A typical gym? Overwhelming.
-
Group fitness classes? Risky for joints.
-
Online programs? Generic and not built for you.
That’s where AB Fitness Personal Training comes in.
We specialize in helping busy adults over 40 build strength, increase energy, and feel younger — all in a safe, structured environment just minutes from Laurel Hollow. Our method is not about doing burpees until you’re dizzy or chasing the scale. It’s about feeling in control of your body again.
💪 Why Strength Training Is Essential After 40
You may not realize it, but around age 30, your body starts losing muscle mass at a rate of 3–8% per decade. This process is called sarcopenia, and unless you actively fight it, it speeds up with age.
By the time you’re in your 40s or 50s, this loss of muscle affects:
-
Your metabolism (you burn fewer calories)
-
Your posture and joint health (more back and knee pain)
-
Your energy and confidence
But here’s the empowering truth:
You can slow, stop, and even reverse this process.
And the most effective way to do it is with strength training — done properly.
At AB Fitness, we’ve developed a training system that’s specifically designed for adults over 40. Whether you’re brand new or just getting back into fitness, we’ll help you build strength safely — one smart step at a time.

👨⚕️ Why Our Coaches Are Different
The #1 reason Laurel Hollow residents stick with AB Fitness?
Our coaches.
We don’t just hire people who like working out. Every AB Fitness coach must:
-
Hold a nationally accredited personal training certification
-
Be CPR/AED certified
-
Complete our proprietary 12-week onboarding program, led by our founder (with over 20 years of experience and a background in physical therapy)
-
Undergo continuing education sessions monthly to stay current on injury prevention, nutrition, and more
Our coaches are trained to help adults over 40 work around injuries, limitations, and past setbacks. If you’ve got a bad knee, a sore back, or haven’t worked out in years — we’ve got your back.
“I came in with two bad shoulders and now I can do pushups without pain. The coaches know exactly how to guide you without hurting you.” — Michelle C., Oyster Bay

🛑 Why Generic Fitness Plans Don’t Work Over 40
There’s no shortage of apps, influencers, and 30-day challenges out there. But here’s the truth:
Most of them were never made for your body.
They assume:
-
You recover like you did in your 20s
-
You can jump into a workout without joint warmups
-
You don’t have old injuries or mobility limitations
-
You can follow a strict diet with zero life interruptions
That’s not real life.
At AB Fitness, we coach real adults with real responsibilities. We’ve helped teachers, lawyers, retirees, nurses, and stay-at-home parents all get stronger using our realistic, proven system.
