EXPERIENCE THE IDEAL PROGRAM FOR MIDLIFE METABOLISM DESIGNED
TO MAKE YOU STRONGER, HEALTHIER, MORE MUSCULAR, AND
ULTIMATELY LEANER INTO YOUR 40'S AND BEYOND
Without doing a bunch of “calorie burning” workouts, sacrificing your muscle, or doing a bunch of work in the gym with nothing to show for it.
Look Like You Train is an ongoing community of support and group coaching program that serves an underserved population of women who are going through the over-40 hormonal and metabolic changes as they enter perimenopause and menopause.
Simply put, during this phase of life, you need to be more intentional with the way you train, fuel, recover, and manage stress. What used to work for you is no longer going to work. In fact, what you used to do for weight loss will likely push you further in the wrong direction with more weight gain, belly fat, energy and fatigue issues, etc.
Your muscle becomes increasingly more important, your workouts should develop your metabolism, and you should know how to eat and properly recover to get the most out of each session.
This is also the time to prioritize your metabolic engine and the health of your metabolism. This is the cornerstone of the process we use with our 1 on 1 clients. We’ve found that shifting the focus away from calorie-burning workouts and emphasizing the size and strength of your metabolic engine through proper training while healing from various metabolic stressors during this stage of life, our clients are able to achieve their fat-loss and look-like-you-train goals with much less resistance.
Youthful energy again…
Reduction in the over 40 / perimenopausal belly fat
The ability to sleep through the night...
Getting stronger while losing weight
And they LOOK LIKE THEY TRAIN...
IF YOU WANT TO TRAIN FOR THE SPORT OF LIFE SO YOU CAN FEEL
YOUR BEST AND LOOK YOUR BEST WITH EACH PASSING YEAR...
THEN LOOK LIKE YOU TRAIN IS FOR YOU.
LOOK LIKE YOU TRAIN IS ROOTED IN 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO WORK ON AND DEVELOP YOUR PHYSIQUE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY POSSIBLE
Before enrolling in Look Like You Train, many women fall into the trap of thinking that they need to:
Work up a sweat during each workout
Burn as many calories as they can in the gym
Constantly do more volume or work out 6-7 days per week
Which leads to less muscle mass, a loss of strength, a weaker metabolism, and worse body composition.
Look Like You Train is designed to take all of the proven principles that we use for our 1:1 clients and deliver it in an affordable, community-based program that targets your muscles effectively, helps you get the most out of each session, and actually delivers the physique you desire.
This is a complete, transformational experience that will help you understand your individual needs when it comes to navigating stress, healing your metabolism from years of dieting, and building your metabolic engine so you can feel more energetic, get stronger, and watch your body composition improve the way you want it to.
This is especially effective for women in perimenopause and menopause.

WHY DOES LOOK
LIKE YOU TRAIN WORK?
Outside of our experience and track record for helping women just like you achieve their physique goals, we also leave no stone unturned.
We understand the hormonal and metabolic changes that you’re experiencing in perimenopause and menopause…
We know the reason as to why you might be training 5-7 days per week without seeing results…
We know what it’s like to have a “calorie burning” mindset in the gym…
And we built Look Like You Train with only the ideal principles for winning the game of life as you reach your 40’s and beyond. Many of our group coaching clients in Look Like You Train look and feel better now than they did in their 20s and 30s.
The same principles that are 1 on 1 clients are using that are helping them feel better and look better than they have in years without restricting themselves or doing hours of cardio are the same principles we’re using in this program.
It’s rooted in the 5 M pillars that we use for all of our clients.
WHAT ARE THE 5 M’s?
Mindset - This is the underpinning of everything we do. You need the ability to be disciplined, the ability to remain focused on your goal, and the ability to be consistent. Without this, nothing else matters. We have a proprietary method for helping you keep the promises you make to yourself and build more self trust.
Metabolic Health - Often the most overlooked and important aspect of any physical transformation. This is about stress management, sleep routine, proper nutrition, mindfulness, recovery, and truly taking care of your body.
Meals (NOT Macros) - We believe that understanding meals is more important than being able to track macros. It’s not just about being able to plug some numbers into a calculator. It’s about understanding the meals that work best for your body and having the ability to create structure with built-in flexibility for true sustainability. We'll introduce you to our unique Food Substitution Calculator as well as our Meal Card Method. While Look Like You Train does not offer 1:1 nutrition coaching [reserved for 1-1 coaching], we do have detailed nutritional templates for you to follow.
Movement - This is truly one of the most underrated aspects of health and body composition improvements. You don’t have to do hours of cardio each day (or any cardio for that matter). It’s just about moving your body on a daily basis. What does that mean for us? It means we walk and we walk every day. This isn't for fat loss but it makes everything else work better for fat loss.
Muscle Matters (not calorie burning) - This is our training philosophy. We build our workouts to prioritize building more muscle and getting stronger, not to burn more calories. This is like the metabolic gift that keeps on giving because the benefits of this style of training compound over time and last forever.
ANYONE CAN FOLLOW A PROGRAM. YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER PROGRAM.
What you need is education, community/a home base, and support in a way that allows you to improve your quality of life while you perform better in the gym, feel more energetic outside of the gym, and shape your body the way you want. The mission is to look like you train and to feel good doing it.
That’s what you’ll get from Look Like You Train - a mastering of your midlife metabolism.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
The Bare Minimum:
- Adjustable Bench (flat/incline)
- Dumbbells (variety of dumbbells that are sufficiently heavy enough (for you) to allow you to progress, get stronger and use heavier dumbbells over time because you WILL get stronger.
- Resistance Bands (variety of band tensions)
Improved By:
- Cables / Pulleys / Functional Trainer (the most versatile add to any home gym)
- Barbell
- Trap Bar
Optimal:
- Commercial Gym (adds access to Leg Extension, Leg Curl, Leg Press/Hack Squat, more options, etc.)
When designing outcome-based programming, the loading parameters (applied principles, sets, reps, rest) are decided and then exercises chosen to fit those objectives. Each round of programming is designed with a commercial gym in mind for those who do have access to a fully equipped gym but for every exercise, the appropriate at-home substitution is also provided and demonstrated for you.
We have many training in a commercial gym and many training at home. If training at home, check out this resource of gym items our community has purchased and recommended.
