Introduction

Hi, I’m Joel Woldt, a Functional Strength & Mobility Coach specializing in one-on-one coaching for adults 50+ who want to move better, feel stronger, and stay independent for years to come. Aging doesn’t mean losing strength or mobility. But most fitness programs aren’t designed for the unique needs of older adults. My approach is different. Every session is fully personalized to help you build functional strength, improve mobility, and move with confidence—step by step. Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, get off the ground with ease, regain balance, or simply feel stronger in your day-to-day life, we’ll create a plan that fits your body and goals. Who I Work With: ✔ Adults 50+ who want to move better, feel stronger, and stay active without high-impact workouts ✔ Women over 50 seeking a personalized, empowering approach to movement ✔ Anyone recovering from stiffness, injuries, or chronic pain who needs a safe, effective plan ✔ Individuals looking for a strength- and mobility-focused practice with a mindful, supportive feel Why My Approach is Different: ✔ Move with Less Pain – Let go of stiffness, improve circulation, and restore natural movement ✔ Strength Without Strain – Build functional strength using bodyweight, light weights, and resistance bands—no gym required ✔ Mindful Movement – Sessions integrate breathing, nervous system regulation, and intentional pacing ✔ Step-by-Step Coaching – No extreme workouts, no confusing routines—just smart, personalized progress ✔ Real-Life Strength – We focus on movement that matters: standing up from the floor, walking stairs, lifting groceries, or playing with your grandkids Client Success Stories: Emma, 77, went from fearing falls to confidently getting off the ground on her own. Mooneen, 78, now holds planks and lifts weights with more strength than ever before. Georgina, 63, used to feel stiff and anxious—now she’s calm, mobile, and stronger than she ever imagined. Ready to Feel Stronger & More Confident? Let’s chat about your goals and create a plan to help you move with confidence and feel great in your body again. Not sure yet? Message me—I’d be happy to answer questions and help you decide if this is the right fit.

I met Joel at the beginning of an intensive training program in health and wellness coaching. These professional level classes continued for nine months with active participation required. I was able to truly get to know Joel — as a colleague and on a personal level. His credentials are far reaching with certifications in the fields of fitness, health coaching and yoga. It’s his skills as a coach which embrace everything he does. Joel is a wonderful listener. Whatever he is working with a client on his thoroughness reflects an empathetic nonjudgmental style. Never pushing, he slowly and patiently builds trust in an environment of compassion and integrity. I recently reached out to Joel for beginner yoga studies via Zoom. Once again, I was impressed by his measured interest and ability to hear beyond my words. Gentle Yoga with Joel helps me feel calmer and centered as I go through my day. His support makes goal setting and progress achievable. Ellen Zeisler, BS, MA, NBC-HWC

Joel has been teaching our Gentle Yoga Class here at Carlsbad Seapointe Resort for our adult and senior guests and they absolutely love and enjoy everything about his Gentle Yoga Class. He takes the time to understand each and every participant and has a special caring way to ensure that everyone feels capable of achieving a great and productive yoga experience. Joel's skill and knowledge allowed us to invite anybody no matter what age or ability level. He knew exactly what to incorporate. By the end of the classes, Joel has always been successful with making our guest feel relaxed and rejuvenated! On top of that I really appreciate Joel's excellent communication. He is easy to reach and talk to and speaks with meaning behind his words. Joel has been a pleasure and a huge benefit to our guests and Resort. We cannot thank him enough for his wonderful service!

Joel clearly has a deep understanding of the experience of the participant in his classes. His guiding dialogue shows an understanding of where minds might wander, where and when particular muscle tension might be experienced and ways to modify the practice for either greater comfort or greater intensity. His calm and relaxed confidence really adds a powerful dimension to the entire experience. I left feeling connected to myself and refreshed Simon M

I have been working with Joel for over a year. When I first started I wasn't sure what to expect or how I'd be feeling about all the work ahead of me. Honestly, I was overwhelmed. I knew that I was really tossing a mess of a individual at Joel. Joel is an amazing Life Coach. I use that term because every single time I met with Joel, not only was my body changing for the better but my heart and mind were also getting healthier. I would learn a new skill to use in my life. I never knew what to expect, but Joel never disappointed. It still amazes me how he can share an idea with me to use in my every day life and it would just resonate within my body and mind. It would give my life a new purpose and I couldn't wait to go out and practice my new skill. I quickly began to look forward to our meetings. I have become a better human being and not only for me but for others. I'm healthier in my mind, body and soul. This man is a true inspiration and for me a miracle that entered my life at the right time. This was a time in which, I felt lost and unsure that I would ever feel better. He never wavered and always has an unbelievable amount of energy. That energy is contagious and would make me want to work harder and harder. Even if I came with zero energy and was having a bad day, Joel could sense that and with compassion he would create my workout for that specific day. He has great awareness and will design the perfect workout for " that day" for you too. He makes me feel like I am his only client. That in itself, is so cool! I continue to learn and grow with Joel as my Life Coach. It's so hard to explain all he can offer you. Ya just gotta check it out. Last thought to share....Joel has a great sense of humor. For me, this is so important. To laugh and smile while you're working hard, is a true gift. One of many Joel has to share. Don't sit there and think anymore and wonder if you should meet up with Joel. Do it! I promise you will never regret this decision. He will treat you as an individual and establish your own workout that is set up just for your needs. He will change with you and listens to your requests each day. Thank you Joel for helping me find the new me.
