Equipment You Cannot Find Elsewhere
The Gravity Training System delivers over 200 exercises that strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and protect your joints. Unlike traditional gym equipment that compresses your spine and stresses your knees, this system uses your bodyweight on an adjustable incline for safer, more effective training.
Personal Training That Understands Your Body
Women over 40 face unique physiological changes that most personal trainers overlook or simply do not understand. Declining estrogen levels accelerate muscle loss, reduce bone density, and shift where your body stores fat. Standard high-impact workouts designed for younger bodies can leave you exhausted, injured, or frustrated with minimal results.
At TSquared, we design every program around these realities. Strength training becomes even more critical during perimenopause and menopause because it stimulates muscle stem cells that estrogen previously regulated, helps maintain bone density during the years when women can lose up to 10% of bone mass, boosts metabolism to counteract hormonal weight gain, and improves insulin sensitivity to reduce diabetes risk.
Our approach accounts for fluctuations in energy, the need for adequate recovery time, and the importance of building lean muscle mass without the joint strain that can sideline your progress. You train smarter, not harder, and you see results that last.
The Gravity Training Advantage
Most Vancouver gyms rely on traditional weight machines and free weights that put significant stress on aging joints. The Gravity Training System takes a completely different approach, and it is why our clients achieve better results with less risk of injury.
- Low-Impact, Joint-Friendly Design - You train using your own bodyweight on an adjustable glideboard that provides full back support and eliminates spinal compression. Your knees, hips, and shoulders work through natural movement patterns without the jarring impact of traditional exercises.
- Over 200 Exercises in One Machine - From strength training to Pilates-inspired movements to cardiovascular conditioning, the system adapts to every goal. This variety keeps workouts engaging while ensuring your entire body gets trained effectively.
- Adjustable Resistance for Any Fitness Level - Changing the incline instantly modifies resistance from 1% to 62% of your bodyweight. Beginners start comfortably, and as you get stronger, we increase the challenge progressively without adding heavy plates or risking injury.
- Multi-Plane Movement Training - Real life requires moving in three dimensions, not just up and down. The Gravity system trains your body through forward, lateral, and rotational movements that improve balance, coordination, and functional strength for daily activities.
- Core Engagement in Every Exercise - Your abdominal and back muscles activate automatically to stabilize your body on the moving glideboard. You build core strength without dedicated ab exercises that strain your neck and lower back.
- Fast, Observable Results - The combination of constant muscle engagement, efficient movement patterns, and progressive resistance means most clients report improved posture, increased strength, and better balance within the first few weeks of training.
How Strength Training Transforms Women Over 40
Counteract Muscle Loss
Women can lose about 1% of muscle mass per year starting around age 40, leading to a 30% strength loss by ages 50 to 70. Regular strength training reverses this decline by stimulating muscle protein synthesis and preserving the lean tissue that keeps you strong and independent.
Build Stronger Bones
he menopause transition is a precarious time for bone density, with up to 20% of a woman's bone loss occurring during this period. Weight-bearing and resistance exercises signal your body to deposit more calcium in bones, reducing osteoporosis risk.
Manage Menopause Symptoms
Research shows strength training can help reduce hot flashes, improve sleep quality, and stabilize mood. Exercise regulates cortisol and supports thermoregulation, addressing symptoms that many women find most disruptive.
Boost Metabolism and Energy
Muscle is metabolically active tissue that burns calories even at rest. Each pound of muscle requires about 35 calories daily to maintain versus only 2 calories for fat. More muscle means a faster metabolism and more energy throughout your day.

Starting personal training can feel intimidating, especially if you have not exercised in years or have never worked with a trainer before. Here is exactly what happens when you begin at TSquared, so you can walk in feeling prepared and confident.
Initial Consultation and Goal Setting

Whether your goal is weight loss, increased energy, better mobility, or simply feeling strong again, this conversation shapes your entire program. You will also complete a brief health questionnaire.
Postural Assessment and Movement Screening
Troy evaluates your posture, balance, and how your body moves. This reveals any imbalances, areas of tightness, or weakness that we need to address. Many women discover issues they did not realize were affecting their daily comfort.
