ABOUT JANET MCCONNELL:
Janet McConnell is a certified personal fitness trainer, competitive bodybuilder, and an advocate for healthy aging who’s redefining what it means to thrive in later life. At 68, she brings both lived experience and professional expertise to her mission: empowering individuals to build strength, resilience, and cognitive vitality through fitness and wellness. With a certification from the American College of Sports Medicine, Janet’s approach focuses on the transformative power of strength training as a key to maintaining independence and mental clarity, especially as we age.
Janet’s journey in fitness began with her own desire to challenge conventional beliefs about aging. This passion led her to competitive bodybuilding in her 60s, proving that it’s never too late to push boundaries and exceed expectations. Her book, Elements of Aging Well: My Journey So Far, shares her insights, offering readers practical guidance on maintaining both physical and mental health through the aging process.
In addition to training, Janet is a speaker who inspires audiences to see aging as a phase rich with potential. Through workshops, seminars, and social media, she advocates for a proactive approach to wellness, helping others cultivate habits that support vitality and longevity. Her work bridges the gap between conventional fitness and holistic wellness, offering a realistic, sustainable model for aging well.
Janet’s message resonates with anyone looking to take charge of their health at any age. She believes that by building strength—physically and mentally—we set the foundation for a life filled with purpose, energy, and independence.
Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to redefine aging by empowering people to build strength, resilience, and confidence through fitness. I’m passionate about showing others—especially those in their later years—that aging can be a time of vitality, growth, and joy. Through strength training, wellness coaching, and speaking, I inspire individuals to see themselves as capable, regardless of age. My mission is to shift the narrative around aging from decline to opportunity, helping people embrace proactive wellness habits that support a life filled with independence, purpose, and physical and mental well-being.
