Description

Today on *Girls Talk Healthy Aging*, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with Maria Gonzales, CEO of Club Fitness Greensboro, to explore how fitness evolves as we age. Maria's fitness journey began at just five years old when she was a competitive swimmer in Colombia. She dedicated a decade to the sport before transitioning to water polo at age 15. This early reinvention set the stage for a lifetime of transformation—both in fitness and in her career. Now, as a woman over 45, Maria shares how she has adapted her workouts, recovery methods, and mindset to align with her changing body. Maria's story is a powerful reminder that aging doesn't mean slowing down—it means training smarter. She candidly discusses the common struggle women face: focusing on what they used to be able to do instead of embracing the strength and abilities they have today. Through trial and experience, she has learned to listen to her body, adjust her fitness goals, and take on challenges that make sense for her current stage of life. Whether it's modifying workout intensity or prioritizing recovery, Maria emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and adaptability in a lifelong fitness journey. Beyond her personal fitness evolution, Maria's career path is just as inspiring. After moving to the U.S. at age 20, she took a job as a lifeguard at her local gym—a small step that led to an incredible rise to the CEO of that same club which is Club Fitness Greensboro. She attributes her success to relentless dedication, an unwavering work ethic, and her philosophy of always giving her best effort. Maria's journey proves that success—whether in fitness or career—comes from perseverance, passion, and a willingness to reinvent oneself. Tune in as Maria, Alli, and Shawna dive deep into the mindset shifts that help women stay strong, confident, and motivated as they age. Whether you're looking to refresh your fitness approach, take on new challenges, or simply be inspired by Maria's incredible story, this episode is packed with wisdom and motivation.
