Exercise scientist, Founder and CEO and former military medic at Active & Ageless
I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.

Director | Personal Trainer | Yoga Instructor | Wellness Writer at Auburn Yoga & Fitness
I’m Gwenn, a freelance fitness-wellness writer, a level-4 ACE-certified* Personal Trainer (25 years), and a certified yoga instructor and coach in California. Physically active as a teen dancer, hotfooting it to the big fitness world was in plain sight. After certifying in personal training and group fitness, coaching in a few health clubs became master training turf for my future. Corporate fitness programs followed, which is where I found coaching elegance in the C-suite terrain. I was in two brilliant worlds of learning and teaching. I spent off-hours creating health and fitness newsletters. These broadcasts became my perfect 24/7 digital marketing tool, and I sometimes received the best compliment for any writer: “When is the next one?” In 2008, I opened a yoga-fitness center where I train clients in group and private sessions 4 days a week. Along with that, managing the business demands broader marketing recipes in website maintenance, landing page marketing, and more fitness newsletters, which are all self-executed responsibilities. Running a successful online fitness accessories store for 7 years enabled excellent website design training. My creative side carries outside my center’s four walls. I write about self-improvement, personal training, exercise, and yoga, where I am at peace (and at play!). Recently published articles/contributions include Fit&Well, AskMen, Eat This Not That, and Yell Wellness. I'm ready for more. If your wellness project banks on information with integrity -- and a bit of sparkle -- I might be your gal. Shall we chat? My expertise is: - mind-body - senior yoga - group fitness - yoga instruction - mobility training - strength training - women's fitness - personal training - functional training - post-rehab training - special populations - senior fitness and longevity ________________ Websites are: https://GwennJones.com https://AuburnYogaStudio.com Sacramento, CA, USA *ACE CPT (American Council on Exercise)
