MEET ELISA/ FOUNDER OF THE AGE STRONG PROJECT
Aging Is Inevitable.
Giving Up What You Love
Doesn't Have to Be.
I've spent more than 23 years helping people keep doing what they love, build confidence, and stay connected. But my passion for aging strong started long before I became a coach.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
At seven years old, I was doing Jane Fonda workout videos in my living room. Nobody asked me to. I just loved moving. (You can ask my mom!)
But it was a few years later, as a shy teenager volunteering at the National Senior Games, that something really stuck with me.
I watched people in their 80s competing in volleyball with confidence, determination, and pure joy.
They weren't sitting on the sidelines of life. They were still playing.
That experience changed the way I looked at aging, and it's stayed with me ever since.
I didn't know it then, but those early experiences would help shape the work I do today by staying curious on what was possible.

I still greatly admire her.
WHY I CREATED THE AGE STRONG PROJECT
We're not just traiining for the gym.
We're training for life.
Because strength means more when it helps you keep doing the things you love.
After more than 23 years of coaching people of different ages and abilities, I've seen firsthand how easily we begin to accept losing strength, mobility, and confidence as an inevitable part of getting older.
But I've also seen what happens when people start moving with intention, building strength, and discovering what their bodies are still capable of.
💙That's why I created The Age Strong Project.
I wanted to bring together everything I've learned about movement, performance, and aging into an approach that helps people build strength, move with greater confidence, and stay engaged in the activities that make life meaningful.
Whether that's running, playing pickleball, hiking, traveling, or simply feeling confident in everyday movement, the goal is the same.
