[quote=Anonymous]I poked around the website and it just looks like a bunch of basic weight machines?  The kind that you can find in any gym?  I don't know why you need to pay a premium for this sort of thing - you can go to any Golds Gym/Planet Fitness/LA fitness and find this stuff.  I'm not 55+, but I am 51.  I just started weight training 1 year ago and began with just pushing a bit of weight around on the weight machines.  The first couple of times I went, I used weights that felt pretty easy for 10 reps at a time.  After that, I started to slowly increase the weight up to the point that a set of 8-10 felt challenging.  I've been VERY SLOWLY upping the weight and am proud to report that after nearly a year (along with a bit of increased protein in my diet), I began to see progress.  I now am doing a mix of free weights, machines, curlbar, smith machine, assisted pull-ups.  You don't need a specific program or a pricey trainer.  If you have specific injuries or concerns, you would be better off with a few sessions with a physical therapist to work through those issues and then start lifting.  Go slow, start light, and move some weights around.[/quote]
