Functional fitness coaching for women 40 + who want to make their MidLife Comeback! Real, functional transformation for the life you live, or to prepare you for the life your MidLife Comeback will bring.
In the fitness world, FX stands for Functional, here, I focus on functional strength, conditioning and nutrition.
What does “functional” mean?
Functional means it’s designed for real life, not just the gym.
• Functional Strength + Conditioning gets your body in shape to to support your life, while protecting your joints and building balance with each exercise so you can take on your daily physical demands with absolute ease.
• Functional nutrition looks beyond calories to address the root causes of your health symptoms. Instead of dieting, we focus on looking at food as fuel, treating your body as a fully interconnected ecosystem. By analyzing your unique biochemistry, lifestyle, and environment, functional nutrition uses food as targeted “medicine” to restore balance, optimize digestion, and shift you from surviving to thriving.
Food stops being the enemy and turns into fuel designed to make your unique body work at an optimum level.
It’s a level of fitness that translates directly into a higher quality of life – a real, functional transformation!!
Shift from looking at midlife as a crisis, and start looking at it as an opportunity to make your comeback!!
Someone told me that I shouldn’t use the word “midlife”, that women would be likely to avoid it, than resonate with it. I was really surprised to hear that – I believe “midlife” is something to be proud of, something each of us has achieved or even survived by the skin of our teeth.
I made my MidLife Comeback and am more comfortable in my body, and my mind, today than I ever have been.
Real, functional transformation isn’t just about how you look in the mirror or even how your favorite pair of jeans fit, they’re an added perk!! It is about how you feel and how your body operates on a daily basis – in the real world, in real life. My MidLife Comeback program combines functional strength, metabolic conditioning, and personalized, functional nutrition into one seamless ecosystem. No more guessing, just optimizing.
Midlife has a way of taking muscle before you’re ready to give it up. We rebuild it — training real, functional movement patterns that protect your joints, restore your balance, and prepare your body for whatever your day actually demands. This isn’t about looking strong in a mirror. It’s about being strong enough for your life.
No joint-crushing cardio, no burnout. I use smart, efficient conditioning that boosts your cardiovascular health, wakes up a sluggish metabolism, and gives you back the energy midlife tends to quietly steal. Less exhausted. More capable. Conditioned.
Stop restricting and start fueling. This is personalized, functional nutrition that works with your shifting hormones, not against them, to optimize digestion and give your body exactly what it needs to thrive in midlife, intuitively. Learn to listen to your bodies cues, No counting, no rules, no diet. Just food that actually works for you.
Your environment can be functional – it be the thing that makes or breaks your real, functinoal transformation. It’s the thing that surrounds us in our home, either positively or negative, it can influence our choices and behaviors, influencing what we do, how we behave, impacting our stress, anxiety and emotional state while define the baseline of how we feel.
Designing your environmental so that making the healthy choice requires zero decision-making or willpower.
Leveraging the brain’s visual dominance by keeping functional tools in your direct line of sight while hiding distractions.
Reducing the physical steps and "micro-friction" required to execute a healthy habit.
Using light, sound, temperature, and clutter levels to actively regulate the nervous system and manage cortisol.
Curating the immediate human environment—the people, voices, and media you interact with daily—to match the future version of yourself.
Identifying and neutralizing spaces, habits, or triggers that drain your willpower and spike your chronic stress.
Hi – my name is Lauren Marie.
At 40 something, part of my “putting myself back together” adventure was becoming a personal trainer, I wanted to be able to help other women find peace with their bodies and minds.
In 2023, I went all in and got 8 certifications, all listed on the About Me page if you’re interested.
I made my MidLife Comeback and am more comfortable in my body, and my mind, today than I ever have been.
I quit trying to bandaid everything and finally went to the root of the issue and learned how to get my body and my mind on the same frequency – my mind and body working together, on the same “channel” got me to a place of being comfortable in it for the first time in my life.
But a big piece of the equation was learning how to work with my mind and my body together.
I made my MidLife Comeback.
If I can do it – I know you can do it.
FX Fitness Coaching™ is what I built from my MidLife Comeback. It’s not theory. It’s what actually worked, tested on myself first — and how I coach the same functional strength, conditioning, and nutrition approach for women who want to do the same thing I did.
Transformation is not an end game. It’s not a quick fix. It’s not a temporary diet, starvation or temporary excessive workout plan.
It’s a launch pad for living a lifestyle you design and maintain.
There are several options within the MidLife Comeback program — you can focus on strength + conditioning, nutrition, or the all inclusive real, functional transformation option.
I like to offer different options because if you’re timidly stepping into this, real, functional transformation may seem overwhelming, an initial focus on strength + condition may not be as intimidating, and you can always up level to the transformation option whenever you’re ready.
Whichever option you choose, you’re not doing it alone. Every plan comes with real access to me — personalized training plans, functional nutrition guidance, and a growing library of guides built specifically for women making their own midlife comeback. No generic programs. No cookie-cutter meal plans. No message left on read. Just functional fitness coaching that actually fits your life.
I love learning, and I love writing. So I’ve decided to build a library, including short articles and maybe even a few ebooks for the longer topics.
