Let's Work Together
Movement Is Medicine
Personal training and online coaching for adults 50+ who are ready to build real strength, move better, and feel more capable in daily life.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Whether you want someone standing next to you in the studio, working with you outdoors in Miami's beautiful parks, or guiding you through a custom program from wherever you are in the world — I'm here.
I'm Ruth Henao, a Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA) with over 20 years of experience helping adults 50 and above build the kind of strength, balance, and energy that makes real life better. Not gym-performance better. Life better. Getting up easier. Moving with confidence. Feeling strong at 60, 65, and beyond.
Every client I work with gets a program built around their body, their history, and their goals — not a template. Not a class. A relationship.
In-Person Training
Indoor / Outdoor Locations
What the experience looks like:
We meet at my private studio in Coral Gables or at a location that works for you — one of Miami's parks, an outdoor space near your neighborhood, or wherever you feel most comfortable moving. Sessions are 60 minutes, focused, and fully personalized.
There's no intimidating equipment, no crowded gym floor, and no one-size-fits-all circuit. Just you, me, and a program designed for exactly where your body is today — with a clear plan for where we're taking it.
Each session includes:
✓ A full warm-up tailored to your current mobility and any joint sensitivities
✓ Resistance and functional strength training using bodyweight, free weights, or bands
✓ Real-time coaching on form, alignment, and breathing — the details that prevent injury
✓ A cool-down and stretching sequence for recovery
✓ A short check-in on how your energy, sleep, and nutrition have been since last session
This is right for you if:
✓ You prefer someone physically present to coach your form and keep you accountable
✓ You live in or regularly visit the Miami / Coral Gables area
✓ You want a session that's adapted in real time to how your body feels that day
✓ You've had past injuries or physical limitations and want expert eyes on your movement
Free consultation: Every new in-person client starts with a complimentary 30-minute consultation — in person or by phone — so we can discuss your goals, history, and what's held you back in the past. No commitment required.

Online Coaching
Work With Ruth From Anywhere in the World
How online coaching works:
Online coaching with me is not a pre-recorded course you work through alone. It's a real coaching relationship — delivered remotely. You get a custom training and nutrition program built for your body, regular check-ins, and direct access to me throughout the month.
You choose the format that fits your life. Some clients prefer weekly video calls (Zoom or FaceTime) where we talk through your week, review your form on video, and plan ahead. Others prefer a fully asynchronous flow — I send your weekly program, you complete it and send me a quick update, and I respond with feedback and adjustments. Most clients end up combining both, depending on what that particular week calls for.
What every online client gets:
✓ A fully custom monthly training program — adapted every 2–4 weeks as you progress
✓ Nutrition guidance aligned with the Body Wisdom Mediterranean protocol
✓ Check-in calls via Zoom or FaceTime (frequency depends on your package)
✓ Direct email access to Ruth for questions, adjustments, and accountability
✓ Access to all BodyWisdom.Fit digital resources including recipe library and exercise guides

Ruth's recommendation: Not sure which package fits you? Start with Essential for one month — most clients who try it upgrade to Premium within 6 weeks once they experience how much the weekly call changes their results.
Hybrid Coaching
The Best of Both — In-Person Sessions + Full Online Support
Why hybrid works best:
In-person sessions are where the magic of real-time coaching happens — your form gets corrected, your energy gets read, and your program adapts on the spot. But what happens between sessions matters just as much. Hybrid coaching wraps your in-person training inside a full online support structure: custom programming, nutrition guidance, and weekly check-ins between every studio session.
Clients on hybrid packages consistently see faster results than either in-person or online alone — because they're supported seven days a week, not just on training days.

SIGNATURE PRACTICE
MOTION MEDITATION
A 6-week mindfulness program available in Ruth's private Coral Gables studio. Motion Meditation is a unique fusion of yoga and Qigong — 45 to 60-minute classes designed to quiet the nervous system, deepen body awareness, and build the mind-body connection that makes all other training more effective.
Why Work With Ruth
The Best of Both — In-Person Sessions + Full Online Support
You're not a 25-year-old. Your trainer shouldn't treat you like one.
Most fitness programs — and most trainers — are designed around the athletic 20-something body. The programming assumes fast recovery, no joint history, no hormonal changes, and unlimited time and energy. That's not your reality. And working against your reality is why most fitness programs fail adults over 50.
I've spent over 20 years studying, coaching, and living inside the specific physiology of the mature body. I know how sarcopenia (muscle loss) accelerates after 50 and exactly how to train against it. I know how hormonal shifts after menopause affect body composition and recovery — and how nutrition strategy has to shift accordingly. I know that your joints have a history, and that history matters.
My certification through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) is one of the most rigorous in the industry. Combined with my background in nutrition, flexibility training, and mindfulness — through my Motion Meditation practice — you get a coach who sees your whole self, not just your workout.
What makes this different:
✓ Every program starts with a full assessment of your movement history, health background, and specific goals
✓ No two clients train the same way — your program is built for your body, not adapted from a generic template
✓ Nutrition is always part of the conversation — because training without eating right is like driving with the handbrake on
✓ I work with a small number of clients at a time so every person gets my genuine attention
✓ You'll hear from me between sessions — accountability doesn't stop when the session ends
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any fitness experience to start?
None at all. Many of my clients come to me having not exercised seriously in years — or ever. We start exactly where you are, assess your current movement patterns and any limitations, and build from there. The first few weeks are always about foundation, not intensity.
I have knee/hip/back problems. Can you still work with me?
Yes — in fact, this is one of the most common situations I work with. Every program I design accounts for your joint history. I modify exercises, avoid movements that aggravate existing conditions, and often use the training itself to reduce chronic pain through strengthening the supporting muscles around the affected joints. I always recommend you consult your doctor or physical therapist before starting, and I'm happy to coordinate with them if needed.
What's the difference between your online coaching and the digital programs (Awaken / Transform)?
The digital programs (Awaken and Transform) are complete, self-guided courses — everything you need is in the materials, and you work through them at your own pace. Online coaching is a live relationship: I build your specific program, we check in regularly, I answer your questions in real time, and I adjust your plan as your body changes. The programs are great for self-motivated, independent learners. Coaching is for people who want accountability, personalization, and a real human in their corner.
Can I switch between in-person and online if my schedule changes?
Absolutely. Many clients start with in-person training and transition to online when they travel or when schedules shift — and vice versa. We can adjust your package with one week's notice. Flexibility is built into how I work.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients notice improved energy and sleep quality within the first 2–3 weeks. Visible strength and movement changes typically emerge between weeks 4 and 8, depending on training frequency, nutrition adherence, and starting point. Body composition changes (fat loss, muscle definition) take longer — usually 8–12 weeks of consistent training and nutrition. I'll be honest with you about realistic timelines at our first consultation, because sustainable results matter more than fast ones.
Ready to Start?
The first step is a free 30-minute consultation — in person in Miami or by video call, wherever you are. We'll talk about where you are now, where you want to go, and what's gotten in the way before. No pressure, no pitch. Just an honest conversation.
If we're a good fit, we'll build your plan together and get to work. If I'm not the right coach for what you need, I'll tell you that too — and point you toward someone who is.
