Healthy Aging
Lisa’s Story
From Osteoporosis to Stronger Than Ever at 65
Lisa began training with Nicole at age 62 after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. Her goal was not simply to exercise—it was to build strength safely, improve balance, and protect her long-term health.
- Progressed from osteoporosis to osteopenia
- Improved strength, balance, and mobility
- Remained injury-free throughout training
- Built greater confidence in her body
“Control Lab is the best investment I have made in myself, my health, and my longevity.”
Starting Point
When Lisa started training with Nicole three years ago, she was 62 years old and had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Her goals were to build strength, improve balance, increase mobility, and protect her long-term bone health while staying safe and avoiding injury.
The Goals
- Increase strength
- Improve balance
- Enhance mobility

The Biggest Obstacle
Strength training can feel intimidating with osteoporosis. Lisa wanted to get stronger without risking injury, making proper coaching, alignment, and technique essential.
The Experience
Over the past three years, Lisa has trained consistently with Nicole, whose attention to alignment, form, and movement quality gave her the confidence to push herself safely.
“Nicole is so maniacally focused on proper alignment and form! This has ensured that no matter how hard she pushes me—and trust me, she pushes me—I have been able to consistently show up and work out.”
The Results
- Transitioned from osteoporosis to osteopenia
- Increased strength, balance, and mobility
- Stayed completely injury-free throughout training
- Feels stronger, healthier, and more confident
- Loves the physical changes, especially her arms and back

Pre & Postnatal Strength
Kelsey's Story
Strong Through Every Season
From marathon training to pregnancy with twins and postpartum recovery, her coaching evolved alongside every stage of life—creating structure, confidence, and a foundation for lifelong fitness.
- Successfully trained throughout a twin pregnancy
- Returned confidently during postpartum recovery
- Improved strength and body composition
- Built lasting skills around movement and recovery
“I felt confident, strong, and supported every step of the way.”
Starting Point
When Kelsey joined Control Lab 4½ years ago, she was already active but wanted more structure and purpose in her workouts. She wanted a coach who was knowledgeable, approachable, and willing to meet her where she was.
The Goals
Her initial goal was consistency, overall wellness, and building strength. Along the way, those goals expanded to include:
- Training for a marathon
- Staying strong and healthy throughout pregnancy
- Building strength after having twins
- Working toward unassisted pull-ups
- Creating a foundation for lifelong fitness
The Biggest Obstacle
Pregnancy and postpartum brought entirely new challenges. Training safely while pregnant with twins required thoughtful modifications without losing momentum.
Victor adjusted every workout to meet her body’s changing needs, helping her stay safe while continuing to build strength and confidence. She entered delivery feeling strong and prepared and returned to exercise postpartum with confidence.
The Experience
Over the past 4½ years, Control Lab has provided more than workouts. Every session has been challenging, educational, and personalized. Whether working through an injury, learning proper movement, or improving recovery, Kelsey has always felt supported and heard.
“I always feel challenged and get a great workout, but I also feel like I’m always being heard and helped if I have an injury or something that needs to be worked through.”
The Results
- Feels stronger than ever
- Successfully trained throughout pregnancy with twins
- Returned stronger during her postpartum journey
- Improved body composition through strength training
- Increased confidence in the gym and everyday life
- Learned skills in exercise, mobility, recovery, and long-term wellness
