Manhattan · Women 40+

Strength training for women 40+ in Manhattan.

For women 40+ navigating perimenopause, menopause, pain, injury, or a body that no longer responds the way it used to.

I am Alejandra Belmar — a Functional Medicine Health Coach and strength trainer with more than twenty years of experience working with women. I am based in Brooklyn, and I travel to women in Manhattan for private sessions. Private work is also available in my Brooklyn studio and virtually.

How private work begins

We start by understanding your body.

The assessment is approximately 90 minutes and includes questions completed in advance. We look at your history, goals, symptoms, movement, balance, strength, breathing, coordination, and the patterns relevant to what you are experiencing.

I take time to organize what I learned rather than forcing a recommendation before the session ends. Then I suggest the most useful way forward based on your goals, what the assessment suggests you need, your schedule and location, and your resources.

This is coaching, movement assessment, teaching, and progressive strength training. It is not medical diagnosis, physical therapy, or psychotherapy — and when care goes beyond my scope, I collaborate with licensed clinicians.

Also working with women in Brooklyn and online.

Navigating perimenopause or menopause? Strength through the transition, in Manhattan.

Where do Manhattan sessions take place?
I travel to you for private sessions in Manhattan, and we confirm the place when we schedule. If travel is difficult, private work and Reconnect to Strength are also available virtually.
What does private work in Manhattan cost?
Rates vary by location and format. The initial assessment has one consistent fee; current rates and availability are confirmed before scheduling.
Can I combine in-person and online training?
Yes. After a private assessment, some women continue with a monthly private meeting and one Reconnect to Strength class each week. Training for Longevity pairs in-person Saturdays with Reconnect to Strength classes online.
Do I need strength-training experience?
No. Group training suits women who can participate safely with modifications. If you have never exercised, are returning after surgery, a significant injury, a fall, or a long period of inactivity, or have a complex medical history, I may recommend an assessment or private work first.
