Fitness coaching with a physical therapist can help you stay stronger, steadier, and more mobile as you age. It can reduce pain, improve balance, lower your risk of falls, and make everyday activities feel easier and more confident. 

The good news is, you don’t necessarily need to start physical therapy in order to start seeing positive results. That’s why I offer virtual fitness coaching for seniors, so you can start easy exercises today right in your own home. No trips to the gym or expensive equipment required! While the exercises may seem simple at first, they compound to build lasting strength that will keep your body flexible and active in the years to come.

You’ll get the same professional guidance and customized plan—without the commute, waiting room, or set appointment times.

The best path for you depends on your goals, needs, and how much personal guidance you want. 

Our online courses and programs are a great choice if you like to work independently with a clear plan to follow. 

1:1 coaching provides personalized support and guidance with frequent check-ins, custom adjustments, and accountability. 

When we meet for our free consultation, I’ll help you determine the right choice for you. Schedule a virtual consultation here.

No, you do not. Most of my clients begin with no equipment or simple items you already have at home, like a sturdy chair or countertop. If we want to add any other equipment, I’ll guide you toward affordable, space-friendly options. (I also have an Amazon storefront of my favorites that you can check out for ideas). 

Plan to start with just your phone or your laptop for video calls and access to your program.

Virtual physical therapy combines online coaching calls with customized, video-guided exercise plan you can follow at your own pace. I adjust your program as needed to keep you progressing safely from home, and you’ll have access to me through email or messaging between calls.

No technical skills required! We’ll keep things as simple as possible, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to access your program and coaching calls. If you can check your email or click a link, you’re all set.

Not for Staal fitness coaching or programs. If you have any serious medical concerns, I may recommend checking in with your doctor to ensure all the exercises are safe for you to practice. I can let you know if your state has any exceptions.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. All Staal services are self-pay, which means we can focus on what works best for you without the limitations of insurance coverage. However, I can give you a receipt to submit for potential reimbursement.

Because each program is customized to your unique goals, pricing varies based on the length of the program and how often we meet. Currently, pricing for 1:1 fitness coaching starts at $420.

In addition to 1:1 fitness coaching, I also offer affordable courses, free PDF resources, and training videos on social media. No matter your budget, I can help you find an option that’s the perfect fit. 

I work with older adults who want to improve their strength, balance, mobility, and confidence. Common goals and conditions I help with include:

• Improving stability/balance and reducing fall risk
• Regaining strength after injury, surgery, or illness
• Hip, knee, shoulder, neck/back, and foot/ankle pain that limits daily movement
• Stiffness or decreased mobility
• Postural changes and core weakness
• Building confidence to stay active and independent

I don’t treat pelvic floor issues (such as incontinence or prolapse), or elbow, wrist, and hand conditions. I also don’t provide emergency or acute injury care, wound care, post-surgical rehab in the immediate recovery phase, or specialized neurological rehab for conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. 

I also don’t do traditional telehealth sessions where we exercise together in real time. If I feel your needs are outside my scope, I can help you find the right provider.

1:1 coaching plans are available in 8, 12, or 16 week options. 

My online courses will range from 4to 12 weeks, depending on your goals and needs.
