$19 for the seminar. Body composition scans and small group classes are free on the day.

Clear, practical next steps you can take
FitnessLab Nutrition Foundations with Rod — an easy, practical way to stay on track with your health and body composition goals
When your body changes the rules
Sleep gets patchier. Energy dips. Weight moves differently, and the training that used to work doesn't land the same way. None of that is a lack of effort — it's physiology, and once you understand it, you can work with it. The Big M is for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s at any stage of the transition. Hosted at our new FitnessLab Northbridge studio and intentionally capped at 30 seats, so the room feels supportive, specific and useful.

From our clients
I was able to do a photoshoot at 57 years of age while working through many surgeries and helping me back to being a fit strong 61 year old. I highly recommend Rod to guide anyone to reach their goals. His knowledge and experience in fitness and Nutrition is way beyond his years.
Dianne L.
4.5 weeks in with Rod at Fitness Lab and absolutely love the structure.
I knew at 53 I wanted a coach whom has the knowledge to look after my health, while building strong bones and gaining lean muscle. Fitness Labs progressive programming and nutrition makes consistency very easy.
Bronwyn M.
Absolutely love Fitness Lab! Have been a member for over a year and it has totally reset my attitude toward fitness and well being. Getting strong and feeling good is a long game and the team at Fitness Lab feel like a family rather than a gym. I am so grateful that I invested in myself with this team!
