Introduction
Updated 04/25: Hi, I’m Charlie — Your Expert Virtual Personal Trainer for 40+ Adults With over 30 years of experience training everyone from A-list Hollywood actors to high-level execs at Paramount, Netflix, and Amazon, I specialize in helping everyday adults look, feel, and perform at their best—especially women in their 40s to 70s. After the pandemic shifted the fitness world, I moved my entire training program online. Now, I work virtually with a small group of serious clients—guiding each one through a customized and rejuvenating fitness journey using Zoom, minimal equipment, and smart, proven routines that never overwhelm. My Method: Science-Based, Equipment-Optional, Heart-Focused Every session is designed around you—your goals, your space, and your body. I begin by checking your resting heart rate and then guide you through a smooth flow of: Gentle warm-ups that protect your joints and prepare your body Foundational strength movements like squats, bends, and stretches (often using just light dumbbells or body weight) Custom cardio bursts using your own equipment or bodyweight options like jumping jacks Targeted sculpting for your core, arms, shoulders, and back Cool-down and breathing that reconnect your body and mind, helping you leave energized, not exhausted We work in three progressive stages, always staying within safe limits. This is not a “bootcamp.” It’s a wellness-centered, professional approach designed for real people—especially women over 40—who want consistency, confidence, and results. What You’ll Need: A small, safe space in your home, hotel, or gym A smartphone or device with a camera (tripod recommended) Headphones or AirPods for clear communication Optional: light dumbbells, a stability ball, or any cardio machine you already have I highly recommend wearing a biometric device (like a smartwatch) during our sessions. I built an app and training platform that helps us monitor your heart rate in real-time—so I can keep you in your ideal training zone and help you see the results. Why Clients Love It: Professional, structured, adult-focused training Never yelling or pushing beyond healthy limits Clear guidance, constant support, zero confusion A calm but effective rhythm that fits your lifestyle I'm not in this to take on hundreds of people. I’m here for a few dedicated clients who are serious about investing in their health and want expert guidance without hype or chaos. Book a Session — Or Ask a Question First You don’t need a gym. You don’t need equipment. You just need a quiet corner and a willingness to improve. Visit my website or message me here. Let's build a fitness plan that’s as mature and reliable as you are. Let’s get started today. Charlie Dannelly II | Virtual Personal Trainer Author of “The Power of the Fitness Mind”

I am so grateful to have Charlie as my personal trainer! I found him through Thumbtack and I cannot be any happier. Charlie values his work and it shows. His attention to detail in meeting my goal is unmatched. He is full of science and experience-based information that he applies towards my workouts and he wants to see the results as much as I do. I really appreciate his comprehensive approach, which involves him overseeing my daily nutritional intake and water hydration. I train with him three times a week and it's been nothing but positive outcomes.

I found Charlie, on here after my close friend who was also my trainer passed away, and needed to find someone who gave me the same quality as he did. Charlie, works with my schedule, especially now that I'm in school. He is awesome to be around, he goes at my pace, I am lucky to have him. I will be a client of his for a long time. Am
