Prime Strength Method online coaching spots are now open šŸ””

This is one-to-one custom coaching for women who are redefining themselves after 30.

Not an app subscription.
Definitely not a PDF or course you forget about in a week.

Starting over every few months because nothing sticks?
Following a training program with zero accountability?
Not knowing what your body actually needs anymore?

This is the fix.

With Prime Strength Method you get:
→ 1:1 onboarding call
→ Weekly check-ins with me
→ Daily chat and whatsapp support 
→ Training updated monthly
→ Nutrition built for your goals
→ Form checks so you’re lifting safely

Not for you if you want sugar coated coaching or a quick fix plan you never touch again.

Ready to sort your training, nutrition and mindset out?

I know what it feels like to:
Hate the second you walk into a gym (been there!)
Try every diet and quick fix, and watch none of it stick (don’t recommend!)
Not know what your body actually needs anymore (ugh!)
Do it all alone with zero accountability (online training completely changes the game now!)

This was my reality for years.
What changed was learning the actual tools, real strength training and real nutrition, not more cardio and starving myself, with the wrong foods.

Once I understood what my body actually needed, I finally had the power to change it.

That’s why I built a coaching method around exactly that: personalized programming, accountability and support that is specialized for women and nutrition that works with your body and life instead of against it.

If you’re reading this thinking, that’s literally me right now…

Just know you’re not too old, too busy, or too far gone.

You’re exactly at the right moment to become the strongest and most beautiful version of yourself.

Let’s figure out your next step together.šŸ«±šŸ¼ā€šŸ«²šŸ½ā¤ļø taken in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates by @train.with.paula

Want to see real results? 
Pinned this so you don’t need to keep scrolling.

These are some of the women I coach. Busy women over 35 with careers and families, who’d already tried the diets and the apps. They didn’t need another plan. They needed someone who’d actually hold them to following through.

A PT session is one hour of your day, and it’s a great hour. It’s where we lift and get your form right. But the real work happens in the other 23.

That’s why I coach online. So I can help more women around the world. 

Everything runs through my coaching app, but it’s not another subscription you’ll forget you’re paying for. It’s me on the other side, programming every piece of it for you.

What you eat when you get home late matters. So does how you train when I’m not standing next to you. That’s where results are made, and that’s where most programs leave you on your own.

The Prime Strength Method doesn’t.

You get a personalized program built for you and updated every month. You send me videos and I check your form, so you’re never guessing.

We set up your nutrition around your actual life, with enough food and macros that suit you, plus guidance on how to actually prepare and cook it so that you want to eat it.

We check in every week. I see what’s working and what isn’t, and we adjust before it becomes a problem.

I track your progress closely, not only the scale. So when the number doesn’t move one week, we have proof it’s still working.

Dalal changed her whole lifestyle over 10 months. Khulood lost the weight and has kept it off. They’re two of the women I’ve had the privilege of working with. The before and afters are more of them, quietly getting it done behind the scenes.

Most women don’t need me in the room every day. The women making the most change realize the power of a plan and accountability for the other 23 hours.

If you’ve tried it all and you’re ready to do it differently, this is for you.

Online strength and nutrition coaching for women over 35.

Monday comes and goes. Then it’s next month. Then it’s ā€œafter the holidays.ā€ And somewhere along the way you start believing it’s too late for you.

It isn’t.

I didn’t compete in anything until I was 32. I’m 44 now, I’m stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been, and in 13 days I’m racing my third HYROX, my first one solo. This was Friday: run, ski, bike, row, a new station every 2 minutes. Hard, and I loved every second of it!

You’re never too old to start. But you will be if you keep postponing it and looking for excuses.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need one decision, and you need to make it now.

If you’re ready, DM me ā€œSTARTā€ or tap the link in my bio, and we’ll do it together.

I’m not training to look younger. I’m training to stay strong, fast and independent for as long as possible.

Because the real goal isn’t to take up less space. It’s to keep doing everything I love for decades to come. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼ā¤ļø

Train for the life you want to keep.

24 days out. šŸ”„

The workouts are getting harder now. Not just physically but mentally.

Today was one of those sessions where I knew exactly what was coming, knew it was going to hurt… and still had to walk into the gym and get it done.

Alone. On a tight schedule. No one beside me to push the pace or tell me to keep moving when my legs were heavy.

And maybe that’s exactly what I need right now.

Because this part of the preparation isn’t only building fitness. It’s building resilience. The ability to stay composed when I’m tired, uncomfortable and my brain starts looking for an easier option.

Transition. Move. Find the cadence. Trust your legs. Keep going.

I’m genuinely loving this training cycle and having a coach I trust completely. The sessions are challenging me in ways I needed physically and mentally and every week I understand a little more what we’re building.

October 24 is getting close. šŸ‘€

For now… head down and keep doing the work. šŸ‘‘šŸ”„

Today’s work:
2K easy run
Then 2 rounds:
50m sled push
500m run
50m sled pull
500m run
50m burpee broad jumps
500m run
50m sandbag lunges
500m run

5–6 min rest between rounds.

Putting my new adidas Adizero Dropset Pro to work!

Life changes. My reason to show up never does. šŸ¤

Some days I train happy. Some days I train sad. Some days I feel unstoppable, and some days I’m just trying to hold myself together.

Through every chapter of my life, every high and every low… training has always been there.

It’s more than a workout. It’s my therapy, my escape, my strength, and sometimes the only place where everything makes sense.

I don’t train because life is always good. I train because life happens.

And no matter what life throws at me, this is one thing I know will always be part of who I am.

For as long as I live, I’ll keep showing up. For myself. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

And if you’re watching this thinking it’s too late to start, that you’re not fit enough, strong enough, or ready enough… think again.

The biggest limitations are often the ones we create in our own minds. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.

Drop me a DM. Let’s break those barriers together and build a stronger version of YOU. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼ā¤ļø

Some truths are uncomfortable. But if you want different results, you need different habits.

Your body is changing. Your approach needs to evolve with it.

Less extremes. More strength, consistency and accountability.

Stop starting over. Start building something sustainable. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

Save this for when you need the reminder. šŸ“Œ taken in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates by @train.with.paula

Se siente extraño publicar algo así en redes sociales.
El duelo es demasiado personal y demasiado grande para resumirlo en un post. Pero tampoco me sentía bien desapareciendo unos días y después seguir publicando como si nada hubiera pasado.

Su partida ahora es parte de mi vida. Y seguir con mi vida, mi trabajo y mi entrenamiento también es parte de seguir adelante. Pero antes, quería dejar un espacio aquí para mi papá. šŸ¤

Mi papá era una persona muy especial. Y digo especial en todos los sentidos šŸ˜…. Era complejo y nuestra relación también lo fue. No fue perfecta, pero era nuestra.

Estos días, viendo los álbumes familiares, me costó encontrar fotos con él. Al principio me dio tristeza… hasta que recordé por qué:

Mi papá siempre estaba detrás de la cámara. šŸ“ø

Amaba la fotografía. Nuestra casa prácticamente es una galería de fotos que nos tomó durante toda nuestra vida. Era fan de sus hijas.

Era inteligente y curioso. Leía muchísimo, amaba el ajedrez, el squash, jugar al truco con sus amigos, entrenar y cuidarse.

Amaba la música y tenía una colección increíble de LPs. Me gusta pensar que mi amor por la buena música lo heredé de él. šŸ¤

Y su sentido del humor… šŸ˜‚ Los que lo conocieron saben. Humor negro, a veces completamente inapropiado, pero hacía reír a la gente como pocos.

Y después estaba mi mamá.

Mi papá estaba completamente enamorado de ella. Su relación tampoco fue perfecta, pero nadie puede negar cuánto amaba ese hombre a mi mamá.

Como todos, tenía sus defectos. Había partes de él que podían ser difíciles, pero había una historia detrás. Vivió momentos muy duros y etapas caóticas que también moldearon quién fue.

Estos días entendí algo: cuando alguien se va, uno puede elegir con qué se queda.

Y yo elijo quedarme con lo bueno.

Con el hombre detrás de la cámara. Con su inteligencia, su música y sus chistes inapropiados šŸ˜‚. Con el papá que amaba fotografiar a sus hijas. Con el hombre que amó a mi mamá. Y con todo lo que me enseñó y que, de alguna manera, hizo que yo sea quien soy hoy.

No necesito pretender que nuestra historia fue perfecta para quererlo.

Era mi papá.
Lo vamos a extrañar muchísimo. Descansa en paz, pa. šŸ¤ Te amamos por siempre. taken in San JosĆ©, Costa Rica by @train.with.paula

New training cycle. New coach. New focus. šŸ”„

And in my head, I’ve got 2 HYROX races to look forward to, Abu Dhabi & Dubai. šŸ‘€

The goal is pretty big, so I’m not saying it out loud because I refuse to jinx it šŸ˜‚
But if you know me closely… you probably already know exactly what I’m talking about. šŸ˜

This new program is all about seeing how much I can grow, push my performance and find another level.

AND… we’re keeping 1 CrossFit day a week because apparently I still want to keep practising for the love of monkeys šŸ’šŸ˜‚
I’ve done CrossFit for way too many years to completely let it go.

Yesterday looked like this šŸ‘‡šŸ»

āš”ļø POWER
Every 2 min Ɨ 6
3 seated box jumps
3 power cleans @ 111 lbs / 50 kg

šŸ‘ TEMPO DEADLIFTS
4 Ɨ 6
1 sec pause at the top
3 sec on the way down
2 sec pause on the floor

šŸŽÆ WALL BALL BUILD
Every 75 sec Ɨ 5
20 wall balls @ 14 lbs / 6 kg to 9 ft

šŸ’ CROSSFIT TOUCH

3 rounds:
10 cal SkiErg
10 toes-to-bar

Rest 90 sec

3 rounds:
10 alternating DB hang snatches @ 35 lbs / 16 kg
10 burpees over DB

Rest 90 sec

3 rounds:
10 cal row
10 pull-ups

Rest 90 sec

3 rounds:
10 alternating DB hang clean + jerks @ 35 lbs / 16 kg
10 burpees over DB

Very excited to see what this new cycle can bring in terms of growth, strength and performance. šŸš€

Also training in my favourite @adidastraining outfit šŸ˜ Because obviously looking cute while suffering is part of the program šŸ˜‚

And of course I forgot to record the wall ball workout… which was actually the easiest part AND the one I enjoyed the most. Typical šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

NO TIME FOR BREAKFAST?
YOU STILL HAVE TIME FOR THIS. šŸ‘€

ā€œToo busyā€ doesn’t mean you have to skip breakfast or grab whatever is closest.

This takes me 5–10 minutes, it’s packed with protein, keeps me full, and I can take it with me on the go. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ„Ŗ

Nothing fancy.
Nothing complicated.
Just a little preparation and a breakfast that actually supports your goals.

Because eating well doesn’t have to take hours — you just need a few easy options that WORK. šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

šŸ“Œ Save this for your next busy morning
šŸ‘Æā€ā™€ļø Share it with someone who is always ā€œtoo busyā€ for breakfast
āž• Follow for more realistic fitness & nutrition tips

And if you want help making nutrition work around YOUR schedule and goals, send me a DM or hit the link in my bio. šŸ’Œ by @train.with.paula
