Certified Master Personal Trainer, Certified Master Health Coach, Certified Menopause Health and Fitness Specialist at KAM Fitness and Nutrition

Boston, MA, USA
Fitness over 60

+2 more

My career in the fitness industry began in midlife. I took a professional pivot after 2 decades in sales and marketing, to pursue my passion for exercise and nutrition. In the past 15 years, I've added to my initial certification to become a NASM Certified Master Personal Trainer and a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Health Coach with a specialization in Sleep, Stress, and Recovery. My personal challenges with the menopause transition led me to take a deep dive into the science and how the changes in hormones affect body composition, muscle strength, bone health, and motivation challenges. I became a Certified Menopause Health & Fitness Coach, educator, and course creator dedicated to empowering people through midlife transitions with evidence-based protocols and compassion. I design inclusive, evidence-based programs that translate complex health science into clear, approachable support. I combine my lived experience and education to build connections in the fitness space through speaking engagements with peers and people seeking credible resources. My work centers on body-neutral messaging, expert collaboration, and practical tools that help people feel strong, confident, and empowered.

Heath Jones

Exercise scientist, Founder and CEO and former military medic at Active & Ageless

Sydney NSW, Australia
Exercise scientist
Health Over 50s

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.

Business Strategy

+2 more

Wendy Cheung, Co-Founder, Fluid X Wendy Cheung is the visionary Co-Founder of Fluid X, a company at the forefront of dynamic fitness solutions and instability training. Her journey into this innovative field began during the challenging times of COVID-19 lockdowns. With gyms closed, Wendy initially turned to aqua bags, treating them as traditional weights. However, a deeper dive into their potential revealed a transformative insight: the true power wasn't in filling the bags to capacity, but in embracing the unpredictable, shifting nature of water. This "live weight" effect uniquely challenges the body, training smaller, often neglected stabilizing muscles, leading to greater overall strength, a significantly stronger core, and the ability to lift heavier with reduced injury risk. Driven by this discovery, Wendy immersed herself in extensive research and collaborated with coaches and trainers globally, refining methodologies and gathering critical insights into the nuances of fluid dynamics in fitness. This commitment to practical, science-backed application led to the development of Fluid X's accredited coaching courses, now approved by leading organizations such as NASM, AFAA, and ACE. Wendy's expertise lies in making functional strength accessible and effective. She champions aqua bag training as a versatile, indispensable tool for anyone looking to build true resilience, stay stronger, and be fully prepared for the demands of everyday life, ensuring optimal movement and well-being. Wendy is passionate about sharing insights into innovative training techniques, functional fitness, and empowering individuals and professionals to unlock their full potential through intelligent, adaptive movement.

Back when I was an 11 year old punk kid my dad would get me in the home gym. And on weekends kick me in to line In the gym and at local sports. He’d say you didn’t get up early to come here and give a half ass effort. Leave it all in the gym. Years later when I competed in Speed Skating, we applied the same principles: we left it all on the ice. When I was selected for Ninja Warrior, that was part of my nightly pre competition prayer. Asked for the strength to leave it all on the course. Whether I was skating at local competitions or on National TV. Leaving it all…. means you give every ounce of effort you can, to give the best performance you can give. Whatever it is you do, whatever job you have… at the end of the day, leave it all there. The road leading up to Ninja Warrior was the most physically grueling part of my career. Got it handed to me the whole time. But I’m grateful to go to bed satisfied I left it all on the course.
