Personal Training for People Over 40 in Basel – Get in Shape, Stay Strong

Starting at age 40, the body changes. Your metabolism slows down, recovery takes longer, muscles atrophy without targeted stimulation—and your joints start to act up more often. That’s not an excuse. It’s biology.

But here's the thing: With the right training, you can do more than just slow down this process. You can be fitter at 50 than you were at 30. Our clients prove it.

What Exercise Really Requires After Age 40

  • Mobility as an integral part of your workout: regain lost flexibility instead of becoming increasingly stiff

  • Nutritional Awareness: Your body is much less forgiving than it was when you were younger, so a healthy, balanced diet with enough protein is essential.

  • Smart Training Management: Targeted Stimulation, Adequate Recovery

  • Focus on Strength: After 40, Maintaining and Building Muscle Is More Important Than Ever

  • Choosing the Right Exercises: Meaningful Exercises Instead of Copying 20-Year-Old Influencers

Our Approach for Clients Aged 40 and Older

We understand the realities of an active life after 40: a full-time job, family, limited time, occasional aches and pains, or old injuries—knees, shoulders, back, hips. That’s exactly why our programs are efficient, well-thought-out, and designed for the long term. And they’re tailored specifically to your current fitness level.

What works for a 25-year-old will look different for a 48-year-old. We take that into account right from the start.

What You'll Get Out of It, Specifically

  • More energy—in your everyday life and for everything that matters to you

  • Fewer Back and Joint Aches Through Targeted Exercise

  • More Strength—Noticeable and Visible

  • Better Sleep Quality

  • A body that supports you—today and twenty years from now

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • I never used to feel like going to the gym, but ever since I took a few classes with Matthias, I've realized how important strength is. Matthias is always friendly, and thanks to his personalized program and encouragement, I now enjoy going to the gym. I highly recommend him.

    Ingela S.

  • Thanks to the systematic personal training, I've been able to build muscle, my back pain has almost completely disappeared—and I'm more confident than ever before.

    Miriam L., 40

  • Matthias is great at tailoring his training to individual goals. His customized program is just the right level of challenging and is really fun, even though I've never been a fan of the gym. Since I started doing strength training with Matthias, my back problems are a thing of the past.
