PERSONAL TRAINING

Working with the 50+ age (active adult) market is our speciality and we have been doing it for 28 years. Together we can help you get stronger and healthier so you can reach your wellness goals and live a full life doing whatever you choose.

We couldn’t ask for better clients or a better job!

For 28 years we have served the 50+ age market in Asheville and have had the privilege of working with over 3000 clients. Helping them be fit and strong enabling them to live their best lives as they age.

As a group of trainers we come from diverse backgrounds and interests, but share the same training philosophy and values. We are professionals in our field and each of us possess 2+ certifications with national organizations and numerous speciality certifications. We are constantly honing our “craft” so that we can provide our clients with a safe and precise fitness program to ensure their success. The majority of us have been together for 12+ years and together possess over 180 years of experience.

Over the years we have shared in many celebrations as our clients accomplished their goals: walking El Camino; biking through Newfoundland; ability to play soccer and other games with their grandchildren; hiking Macchu Picchu; the Dolomites and the mountains of Chile; paddling the Yukon Territories; building Habitat houses, creating magnificent gardens or just taking a walk thru their neighborhood. Sometimes clients come in the door feeling tired or stiff; yet always leave feeling better than when they came in. We couldn’t ask for better clients or a better job!

We love what we do and hope to have the opportunity of working with you too!

Testimonials

Emma brings energy, smiles, and detailed attention to her clients’ needs. Having worked with Emma frequently, I can attest to the hard work and great good humor she brings to every workout. Although I am her senior by (too darn many!) decades, she cuts me no slack on that account, while accommodating the demands of one or two balky joints. She offers a creative approach to specific joint issues and always has a substitute exercise to suggest if something doesn’t feel right. Workouts with Emma are both challenging and enormous fun!

Alice LeMaistre

I have worked with personal trainer Peggy Emory for seven years. She is always enthusiastic and cheerful, urging me to do my best every time I come to Training Partners. She carefully designs workouts that improve all aspects of my fitness—strength, cardio, balance, posture, and agility. She is sympathetic with the frailties of my “experienced” body, but at the same time she does not allow me to be lazy. My joints and muscles thank her. So does my heart. I hope to continue working with her for another seven years.

Phyllis Lang

Kelly has been my trainer for four years. She utilizes very innovative techniques to keep me motivated and moving toward my goals. She has been very flexible with me as my goals change. Most of all Kelly keeps me safe. I haven’t had an injury since working with Kelly which keeps me coming back to her!
