Does this sound familiar?
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE FIT BEFORE YOU START.
Many people who come back to training after 40 feel uncertain about where they belong or what their body can still do. That is a starting point—not a reason to stay away.
“I haven't trained properly for years.”
“I've lost the strength and fitness I used to have.”
“I don't feel comfortable in normal gyms.”
“I want to stay strong and capable as I get older.”

Why SB40 — Strength Beyond 40?
TRAINING AFTER 40 DOESN'T MEAN TRAINING LIKE YOU'RE FRAGILE.
You can still train hard, learn new skills and make meaningful progress. Good coaching simply recognises that your training history, recovery, responsibilities, confidence and individual capability matter.
SB40 combines intelligent strength and conditioning with education, accountability and a plan you can actually sustain.

Capability is personal
STRONG FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE.
Being capable means different things to different people. It might be keeping up with family, returning to a hobby, feeling confident in your body—or taking on a challenge you once thought was behind you.
For us, one of those challenges became competing together. Your goal does not need to look like ours. The point is to build towards something that matters to you.
About Graeme
WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME.
I know what it feels like to become less capable. Years of physical work, rugby and significant knee problems had changed what I felt able to do. Structured strength training helped me rebuild confidence in my body, regain capability and eventually compete again.
I'm now in my mid-40s, a grandparent and completing my professional Personal Training qualification ahead of the SB40 launch. I created SB40—Strength Beyond 40—to help other people rebuild what they thought they had lost—and stay ready for the life they want to keep living.
The goal isn't to turn everyone into a competitor. It's to help you become more capable in your own life.
A better place to start
BASED AT TREAD FITNESS DARTFORD.
SB40 personal training takes place within TREAD Fitness Dartford—a welcoming, community-led training environment rather than an anonymous commercial gym floor.
You can receive individual SB40 coaching without already being a TREAD member. For appropriate clients, SB40 Complete offers a route into the wider class and community experience.
Common questions
BEFORE YOU TAKE THE FIRST STEP.
What does SB40 mean?
SB40 is short for Strength Beyond 40—personal training and strength coaching based at TREAD Fitness Dartford. The name reflects our specialist focus on helping people from their 40s onwards become stronger, fitter, more confident and more capable.
Am I too unfit to start?
No. You do not need to get fit before working with a coach. We begin by understanding your current ability and choose an appropriate starting point.
What if I haven't trained for years?
That is exactly where many people begin. The early focus is learning, building confidence and creating consistency—not trying to prove anything on day one.
What if I have previous aches or injuries?
We'll discuss your history during the consultation and stay within a Personal Trainer's professional scope. Where appropriate, you may be asked to seek advice or clearance from a suitable healthcare professional before training.
Do I need to be a TREAD member?
No. SB40 1:1 Coaching does not require TREAD membership. SB40 Complete includes agreed class access and open gym when TREAD classes are not running. The TREAD Member Coaching price is for existing members who keep paying their TREAD membership separately.
Do I have to be over 40?
No. Strength Beyond 40 specialises in coaching people from their 40s onwards, but the service is not restricted by age. If the SB40 coaching approach suits your goals and circumstances, we're happy to have a conversation.
Is this only for very fit people?
No. SB40 specialises in helping ordinary people from their 40s onwards who want structured support to become stronger, fitter and more capable. You won't be expected to train like an athlete.
What happens during the consultation?
It's a relaxed conversation about where you are now, what you want to achieve, what may have stopped you before and whether SB40 is genuinely a good fit. There is no obligation to join.
Where are you based?
Coaching takes place at TREAD Fitness in Dartford, Kent.
What if I'm over 50 or 60?
The “40” is a starting point, not a cut-off. Coaching is based on you as an individual—your ability, experience, goals and circumstances—not assumptions about your age.
Do I need previous gym experience?
No. Everything you need will be explained and coached. Asking questions is part of the process.
