Gavyn Berntsen, founder of Fit Life After 40

Meet your coach. Hi, I'm Gavyn.

I've dedicated my career to helping adults over 40 get stronger without beating up their joints or living in the gym. After losing 20kg myself, I know how powerful it is to feel capable in your own body again.

Today I co-own New Zealand's only fitness studio built specifically for people over 40, and I've helped more than 1,000 people build strength that lasts. I'm a Functional Ageing Specialist and nutrition coach, a former New Zealand police officer, and a bit stubborn about the idea that your best years are behind you. They are not.

Train with me in Lifelong Strong

Your strongest years aren't behind you.

Train smarter, stay supported, and keep doing the things you love.
