Our Background

In 2021, Next 50 emerged from the vision of Angel and Jordan, two passionate individuals realizing the struggle faced by fitness coaches in serving an often overlooked but vital demographic: the 50+ community. They witnessed firsthand how gym owners grappled with feelings of unpreparedness, knowing they needed knowledge to coach fitness classes safely for seniors, but finding themselves ill-equipped to address their unique needs. 

 

Angel, a skilled physical therapist, was disappointed by the prevailing fitness options for this age group. Many programs either overwhelmed seniors with intense all-ages classes, leading to injuries, or offered insufficiently challenging activities that did not promote real fitness change. She understood that people over 50 could engage in complex exercises like squats or deadlifts, provided it was carefully programmed to avoid injury. 

 

The painful truth was clear: these coaches—many desperate for extra income—deserved to teach confidently and create impactful transformations without financial stress. This injustice fueled Angel and Jordan's resolve to create a solution that empowered fitness coaches and the seniors they serve. 

 

Thus, Next 50 was born, developing a comprehensive training program designed by Angel, along with a subscription to functional fitness programming specifically tailored for individuals over the age of 50. Their approach was not only about fitness—it was about fostering a strong sense of community. As gym owners began to apply for the coach training, they discovered they could fill previously unused time slots in their facilities, reaching a new segment of the population that was eager for meaningful engagement and wellness. 

 

The results have been staggering. Participants in these programs have reported increased strength, higher energy levels, and improved bone density. They’ve gained friends and formed lasting bonds within their community, demonstrating that fitness is not merely about working out—it's about connection and empowerment. 

 

Next 50 champions the belief that every fitness coach should feel equipped and supported in serving the 50+ community. With a proven framework, gym owners can enhance their credibility, fill classes, and generate substantial revenue while transforming lives. The journey is simple: apply for the comprehensive coach training, complete the training to gain expertise, and implement Next 50’s ready-to-go fitness programming.
