Why Vancouver Seniors Choose TSquared for Personal Training
Our downtown Vancouver studio offers everything seniors need to stay strong and independent, without the intimidation of crowded gyms or high-impact workouts designed for younger bodies.
Joint-Friendly Gravity Training System
Our Total Gym-based Gravity Training uses your own bodyweight on an adjustable incline, eliminating the joint stress of traditional weights. This approach is particularly effective for seniors with arthritis, previous joint replacements, or chronic pain conditions. You build real strength while protecting knees, hips, and shoulders.
Private Studio Environment
Train in a quiet, private space at 180 W Georgia Street, just 2 blocks from Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain. No intimidating gym atmosphere, no waiting for equipment, no feeling self-conscious. Just focused, one-on-one attention from trainer Troy Tyrell in a calm, supportive environment.
20+ Years Working with Adults Over 40
Troy Tyrell has spent over two decades helping adults build strength safely as they age. His expertise with postural analysis, mobility limitations, and age-appropriate exercise progressions means you're training with someone who truly understands senior fitness needs.
Combating Age-Related Muscle Loss
Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength with age, affects approximately 10-20% of adults over 60 and more than 50% of those over 80. After age 30, adults lose 3-8% of muscle mass each decade, accelerating to 15% per decade after 60. This muscle loss directly impacts your ability to climb stairs, carry groceries, get out of chairs, and maintain your independence.
The good news is that research consistently shows resistance training can reverse sarcopenia at any age. Studies demonstrate that seniors can gain 1-2% muscle mass per month and improve strength by 30-40% through consistent training. Our Gravity Training System provides the progressive resistance your muscles need to rebuild, using movements that match your current abilities while gradually challenging you to grow stronger.
Unlike aerobic exercise alone, resistance training specifically targets muscle preservation and growth. Walking and swimming are excellent for cardiovascular health, but they don't provide the stimulus needed to maintain and build the muscle mass that keeps you independent as you age.
Fall Prevention Through Strength and Balance Training
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency visits for adults 65 and older, with more than 25% of seniors experiencing a fall each year. Our training program directly addresses the physical factors that contribute to fall risk.
Lower Body Strength
Weak legs increase fall odds fourfold. Our program prioritizes quadriceps, hamstrings, and glute strengthening through exercises like incline squats and leg presses on the Gravity Training System. Stronger legs mean more stability during everyday activities.
Dynamic Balance
Balance isn't just about standing still. We train reactive balance through controlled movements that challenge your stability in multiple directions, improving your ability to recover when you stumble or step on uneven surfaces.
Core Stability
Your core muscles act as the foundation for all movement. We strengthen the deep stabilizers that support your spine and pelvis, improving posture and giving you a more stable base for walking, reaching, and bending.
Reaction Time
As we age, reflexes slow down. Regular strength training maintains the neuromuscular connections that allow quick responses when balance is challenged. Research shows exercise programs like ours can reduce fall risk by 35-40%.
What to Expect in Your Senior Personal Training Sessions
Every session is designed to be challenging enough to produce results while respecting your body's needs and limitations.
Comprehensive Initial Assessment (First Session)
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your current fitness level, mobility restrictions, health history, and personal goals. Troy will assess your posture, balance, and movement patterns to create a program tailored specifically to you.
Gentle Warm-Up (5-10 Minutes)
Each session starts with mobility work to prepare your joints and muscles. This includes gentle stretching, range-of-motion exercises, and light movement to increase blood flow and reduce injury risk.
Gravity Training Exercises (35-40 Minutes)
The main workout uses our adjustable incline system to target all major muscle groups. We start at an incline level appropriate for your current strength and gradually progress as you improve. Every movement is supervised to ensure proper form and safety.
Balance and Functional Training (5-10 Minutes)
We incorporate exercises that directly translate to daily activities, including movements that improve your ability to get up from chairs, climb stairs, and maintain stability while walking.
Cool-Down and Flexibility (5 Minutes)
Sessions end with gentle stretching to promote flexibility and recovery. This also provides time to discuss your progress and any questions about your program.
Senior Training Options and Pricing
We offer transparent pricing with no long-term contracts. Choose the training format that best fits your goals and schedule.
Small group sessions are capped at 5 participants maximum, ensuring you still receive personalized attention and form corrections while benefiting from the camaraderie and motivation of training with peers your age.

Today marks the day of my 1 year anniversary with T-Squared Personal Training. Troy is a fantastic and caring trainer. He put together a kick-ass program that works around my scoliosis. The results of training twice a week for the past year is that I've lost approx. 8 pounds and 7% of my body fat. My muscles are also more toned and my posture has improved tremendously. I would highly recommend Troy and T-Squared Personal Training if you wish to become stronger and more fit!

Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Personal Training
Is personal training safe for seniors with health conditions?
Yes. Our Gravity Training System allows precise control over exercise intensity, making it safe for seniors with arthritis, osteoporosis, previous joint replacements, heart conditions, or other health concerns. We recommend consulting your doctor before starting any exercise program, and Troy will adapt all exercises to your specific limitations and medical history.
How much does senior personal training cost in Vancouver?
One-on-one personal training sessions range from $85-$110 per session depending on package size. Small group training costs $40-$50 per session with a maximum of 5 participants, making professional training accessible at a fraction of private session costs. We offer multi-session packages for better value.
What if I've never exercised before?
Many of our senior clients come to us having never followed a structured exercise program. We specialize in working with beginners and will start at whatever level is appropriate for your current fitness. The adjustable nature of our Gravity Training System means we can begin with very gentle resistance and progress gradually.
How often should seniors do personal training?
Most seniors see optimal results attending 2-3 sessions per week, with at least one rest day between sessions for recovery. However, even one session per week can provide meaningful benefits for those just starting out or with limited schedules. We'll help you determine the right frequency based on your goals and recovery capacity.
Can personal training help with my chronic pain?
Many seniors experience reduced joint pain and improved mobility through our training program. Strengthening the muscles around painful joints provides better support and stability, often reducing discomfort. However, we're not medical practitioners, so we recommend working alongside your healthcare providers for pain management.
What should I wear to training sessions?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows free movement works best. Athletic shoes with good support are recommended. We provide all training equipment, so you just need to arrive ready to work.
