The “new normal” for fitness after 40

If you’re over 40 and live anywhere around Newport News, you’ve probably noticed something:
Getting in shape isn’t as simple as it used to be.

Life gets busier, recovery gets slower, and “quick fixes” stop working.

But here’s the good news — our Coastal Strength & Fitness community is proof that fitness after 40 doesn’t have to mean slowing down. It just means training smarter.

What “training smarter” actually looks like

Most people think they need to work harder to get results.
Our members have learned that the real secret is consistency + strategy.

That means:

• Strength training two to three times per week to protect muscle and joints.

• Cardio that actually builds endurance instead of just burning calories.

• Nutrition that fits your real life — not a fad diet or cleanse.

This approach is why Coastal Strength & Fitness has become the go-to gym in Newport News for adults who want to look better, move better, and feel like themselves again.

Real people. Real results.

Last month, our Frequent Sweater board hit a record high — 134 members showed up for 12 or more workouts.

We had clients balancing work trips, kids’ activities, and packed schedules… and still finding time to move.
Because once you make it part of your week (and surround yourself with the right people), it becomes a lifestyle — not a chore.

Why local matters

Coastal isn’t a chain gym.
We’re local — right here in Newport News — and everything we do is built for this community.

Our members are your neighbors.
Our coaches live here, raise families here, and care about seeing you thrive here.

That connection is why people stay. And it’s why so many of our members say Coastal feels like home.
