We sit down with Michelle Fain and Courtney Osterfelt from Captain CrossFit to talk about their groundbreaking new program designed specifically for women ages 45–65. Their three-month “Level Up” class is helping women build muscle, improve balance, sleep better, and gain confidence during one of the most misunderstood stages of life.
We dive into:
- Why muscle loss accelerates during perimenopause
- The truth about “bulking up.”
- How protein and fiber make a bigger impact than cutting calories
- Why the community might be just as important as the workouts
- Real-life wins — from better balance to box jumps after surgery
This isn’t about shrinking yourself. It’s about getting stronger, more resilient, and more confident in your body.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by the gym, confused by internet advice, or like you were supposed to “just suffer through it,” this episode is for you.
It’s time to Level Up.
