Why men and women over 40 can’t afford to skip the gym and how Body Torque can help
Once you hit your 40s and beyond, your body starts to send a clear message – use it or lose it, so skipping the gym is probably not a good idea. Furthermore, in New Zealand, men over 40 can face serious health risks, many of which are preventable through the lifestyle choices we make.
But the good news is, most of these issues do not need to define your future. With the right training, support, and environment you can not only protect your health, but thrive as you age. Here’s how Body Torque can help:

Our training focuses on building lean muscle, supporting metabolism, and improving cardiovascular health which are key ingredients in preventing lifestyle disease and staying strong.
Smarter movement for long-term joint & back health
Our expert coaches will help you train around any injuries or stiffness you might have and rebuild strength where it matters most. This will help you to move and feel better.
Motivation that lasts
Our fully integrated MyZone belts let you track your workouts in real time, earn effort points, and will help you to reach your goals. Whether you train in person or online, you’ll feel part of something bigger.
