Nancy Barbash—Owner

I’ve been helping people move, get stronger and feel better for more than 30 years. I became an ACE-Certified Personal Trainer in 1994, and after finishing my studies in Physical Education at Hunter College in New York City, I started my own training business. Before long, I was working with more than 300 clients, creating fitness and nutrition programs that were tailored to real people and real lives.

Over the years, I’ve worked with all kinds of bodies, goals and challenges—from pregnancy and orthopedic issues to injuries, illness and recovery. I’ve also worked with people who simply wanted to get stronger, move better and reach a higher level of fitness.

I have always been fascinated by how the body works and moves and, as my career evolved, how it changes as we age. I continued my education in areas including lower back health, kinetic anatomy, fitness nutrition and orthopedic rehabilitation.

But there was something I kept noticing: women’s health and fitness were not getting the attention they deserved. That realization led me to menopause coaching. I wanted to better understand what women experience during this stage in life, considering I was entering this stage as well. More importantly, how I could help women feel strong, capable and confident as our bodies change.

Now, as a Menopause Coaching Specialist, ACE-Certified Personal Trainer and Orthopedic Exercise Specialist, I bring all of that experience to you.

Let’s change the narrative from what we lose as we age to what we gain!
