Who I help
For women rebuilding confidence through strength.
« Gabrielle is incredibly reliable, always on time, down to the second! She’s calm, motivating, and encouraging, and she respects my limits while somehow knowing exactly when I’m making excuses! I honestly thought I would need a butt lift... until I met Gabrielle! She’s shown me what the right training and consistency can do. I couldn’t recommend her more! »
Catherine, 53 « To say that Gabrielle is a great coach would be a huge understatement. She’s an incredible motivator and highly skilled teacher. She surpassed all my expectations of what starting over in the gym would be. Her patience and understanding of what I needed to achieve was incredibly hopeful from the start. Her continued support and natural ability to make exercise an important part of my life again as I continue on my journey to eating right, staying healthy and happy. Thank you Gabrielle for helping me get my life back on track. »

Why strength training after 50
1 in 3
At least 1 in 3 women will break a bone because of osteoporosis.
2×
The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend that adults 65+ do muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week, plus activities that challenge balance.
34 trials
A 2024 review of 34 randomized trials (2,830 adults aged 60+) found supervised and unsupervised exercise both safe and beneficial. Supervision may add small extra gains, especially in leg strength; the authors call the evidence preliminary.
This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Training with me is not a treatment for osteoporosis or any medical condition.

“Strength is built one rep at a time.”
Meet Gabrielle
I learned to lift. So can you.
I learned to lift one rep at a time, and strength is what changed my confidence. Today I coach women who want the same thing: to feel strong in their bodies, at their own pace, with a clear plan and someone beside them. I come to your building's gym or your home, and we build strength that lasts, together.

See pricingCommon questions
When am I charged? Can I pay everything upfront?
As Québec law requires, never before your first session and with no deposit. Coaching programs use equal payments every 4 weeks. There is no pay-in-full option. Your card is saved at signing. Nothing is charged. Your bank may briefly show a card check of $0 or about $1, which is cancelled automatically. The price doesn't depend on how you pay.
Can you train me in my building's gym?
We train in your building's gym, at home with your body weight and what you already have (a sturdy chair, a counter, grocery bags), or at your own gym where its rules allow. If you'd like to buy equipment, I'll suggest a short, affordable list, with no obligation.
What's the difference between online and in person?
The method is the same; the support differs. In person, I am beside you. Online, you follow your app program with form-video feedback; Strong & Steady Online includes a weekly video session.
I've never lifted weights. Is this for me?
Yes. We start with screening and a Fitness Baseline, then adapt progressions to your starting point.
