Your Doctor Said Something That Scared You. You Know It’s Time to Change. But Where Do You Even Start?
High blood pressure. Unexpected weight gain. Energy that’s just… gone. If you’re between 35 and 65, your body is telling you it needs more than a generic gym programme, it needs someone who actually understands how it works at this stage of life. That’s exactly who I coach. And I’ll be there every single week, not just the first one.
You’ve Tried Before. So Why Hasn’t It Worked?
You joined the gym. You showed up. You were ready. But then, you walked in and didn’t know what to do with the equipment, so you stuck to the treadmill. Every session. For months. And nothing really changed.
Or the gym gave you a generic programme. Nobody explained it. Nobody checked in. And when your back started aching or your knees started complaining, there was no one to ask.
Or life took over, a demanding job, the kids, the family, and training was the first thing to go. Or you started strong, felt good the first few weeks, and then motivation disappeared. Because there was nobody there when it got hard.
You didn’t fail. The support wasn’t there. People between 35 and 65 don’t need more effort. They need the right method, built around their body, their health, and their real life, with someone who actually shows up every single week.
What Most Coaches Get Wrong About People Over 35
But your body at 40, 50, or 60 is not the same as it was at 25. You may have a back that flares up after sitting at a desk all day. Knees that remind you of that old injury every time you go up stairs. Shoulders that haven’t moved freely in years. Flexibility you didn’t notice losing until bending down became an effort. Strength that used to feel natural now feels out of reach.
And on top of that, a demanding career, a family that needs you, a schedule that leaves almost no room for anything else.
When you finally make it to the gym, the last thing you need is to feel lost, handed a sheet of exercises with no context, no correction, and no one checking if you’re actually okay. When week 6 arrives and motivation drops, or you miss two sessions because work was relentless, or the kids needed you, or your back is acting up again, there’s nobody there. So you stop. Again.
"That’s not coaching. That’s a template with your name on it. I do the opposite."
Every week I look at what’s actually happening in your body and your life, and I adjust. Your back pain, your stiffness, your energy levels, your schedule, your progress. You are never left to figure it out alone.
How Real Coaching Works
It’s not magic. It’s not motivation. It’s method + constant presence.
Every start of the week
You receive your personalised training based on your feedback from the previous week. Not a copy-paste. Built around what your body told us, how your back felt, how stiff your joints were, how your energy was holding up.
During the week
You train following the programme. Log weights, how you felt, any stiffness, pain, or questions, all in the app. Nothing gets ignored.
Every weekend
You fill out a check-in form: weights used, progress photos, honest feedback. “Made it 3x this week.” “Back was tight on Thursday.” “Brutal week at work.” “Missed two sessions, the kids were sick.” All of it matters. All of it gets addressed.
Every Monday
I analyse everything. Adjust your training. Programme next week. You are never alone.
Every week (Online Coaching)
We have a 30-minute video call. Just you and me. We talk about what’s working, what isn’t, how your flexibility is progressing, how your strength is building, how your energy and sleep are holding up, and what life is throwing at you. Then I adjust.
"That’s how I know EXACTLY what your body needs, whether it’s rebuilding strength you’ve lost, restoring flexibility that’s been gone for years, or managing back pain that no one has taken seriously. It’s not guesswork. It’s applied science with a real person behind it."
Is This You?
Be honest with yourself. This programme is built for a specific person.
This Is For You If:
- You’re between 35 and 65 years old
- Your doctor has flagged something, blood pressure, weight, energy, metabolic health
- You feel something has to change, with or without a doctor’s push
- You go to the gym but mostly stick to the treadmill because no one taught you the rest
- You have back pain, joint stiffness, or old injuries that generic programmes always ignore
- You’ve lost strength and flexibility and want them back
- You started and stopped before because there was no support when motivation dropped
- You have a demanding job, a full family life, or both, and training keeps getting pushed aside
- You became a parent and never found a coach who understood what that does to your routine
- You’re ready to commit to the process, not just the idea of it
This Is NOT For You If:
- You’re looking for a quick fix or a 30-day transformation
- You can’t commit to training at least 3x per week
- You want a magic solution or fad diet
- You’re not willing to check in honestly every week
- You want a generic PDF with no real coaching behind it

Why 12 Weeks? Why Not 4 or 6?
Because your body at 35, 45, or 55 doesn’t respond to crash programmes. It responds to consistency, patience, and the right stimulus, week after week. Here’s what actually happens:
Phase 1 — Weeks 1–4: The Learning Phase
Your body is relearning how to move. We’re rebuilding patterns that got lost: posture, mobility, basic strength. If you have back pain, stiff joints, or flexibility that’s been gone for years, this is where we start addressing it properly. This phase builds the foundation everything else rests on.
Phase 2 — Weeks 5–8: The Danger Zone
Where most people quit. Motivation dips. Work gets hectic. The kids get sick. This is exactly where our weekly video calls and check-ins make the difference between finishing and starting over again.
Phase 3 — Weeks 9–12: The Turning Point
Your body starts to genuinely change, not just aesthetically, but metabolically. Sleep improves. Energy returns. Back pain decreases. Flexibility increases. Strength grows in ways you can actually feel. Health markers shift. This is what you came for.
Phase 4 — Week 12+: You Have a Method
You don’t need to start over anymore. You know how to train. You know how your body responds. You have momentum, confidence, and a system that works for your life, not someone else’s.
Not ready to commit to 12 weeks yet? Start with Hybrid or 1-on-1 for one month, no long-term lock-in. Most people who start for a month renew because they feel the difference.
Real People. Real Results. Real Change.
“Patricia has been a fantastic trainer. Very supportive, generous with her time and programmes are well posted and easy to follow. My posture has developed greatly and I’ve overcome all back pain now. I was able to participate in Ireland’s Fittest Family this year and reach the semifinals, and Patricia’s training was a huge reason for that success. I recommend her highly.”
Client, Ireland
“I started training with Patricia about 3 months ago and it’s been such a positive experience, my goal was to lift weights, get stronger and ultimately tone up/lose some weight. I’ve definitely achieved some of those goals and I’m looking forward to continuing to make progress with all that I’ve learned. Patricia is a pleasure to work with... The app was really easy to use and track progress. I would highly recommend working with Patricia.”
Client, Ireland
“I was going to the gym 5 or 6 times a week for a couple of months and seeing little progress, so decided to get Patricia as my personal trainer. In the 4 months since I have lost 10kg, 2 inches off my waist, and most importantly, gotten my high blood pressure under control and back to normal levels. Would highly recommend Patricia.”

Who Will Coach You
Patricia Vidal, Performance Coach
Naas, Kildare, Ireland
"Hiya! I’m Patricia Vidal, and my mission is simple: to help people between 35 and 65 get stronger, move better, and feel like themselves again, especially those who’ve been let down by generic programmes that never accounted for their real life."
I’m originally from São Paulo, Brazil, and hold a 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education, with specialisation in Sports Training. I’m also a mum of two, including a newborn, so I know firsthand what it means to have a completely full life and still try to make training happen. I get it. Not as a talking point. As a lived reality.
Why am I different?
Most coaches give you a programme and hope you follow it. I adjust yours EVERY week based on what your body is actually telling me.
Most coaches ignore back pain, stiff joints, and old injuries. I build around them, and work to resolve them.
Most coaches disappear at week 8, right when motivation drops and life gets hard. I show up more.
My promise to you: You will never be alone in this process.
In Online Coaching: every week, 30 minutes just for us, to check in, adjust, and keep you moving forward. In-person (Hybrid & 1-on-1): you see me live, get real-time corrections, and leave every session knowing exactly what you’re doing and why.
Is The Investment Worth It?
Let’s be honest about what you’ve already spent, in time, in failed attempts, in programmes that gave you nothing.
What you receive:
- • Personalised training adjusted EVERY week (value: €50/wk)
- • Individual 30-min video call every week (value: €40/call)
- • Complete weekly check-in and analysis (value: €30/wk)
- • Unlimited support via app + WhatsApp (value: €20/wk)
The alternative cost
- • Physiotherapist: €70/session → 12 weeks = €840+
- • Nutritionist: €80+ consultation → 12 weeks = €960+
- • Traditional PT: €50–70/session (2x/wk) = €1,200–1,680+
- • Gym membership alone: €0 coaching + back still hurting = most expensive of all
€37.50 per week. Less than two takeaways. More valuable than every programme you’ve started and stopped.
