Hi, I’m Rebecca Whelan, a personal trainer, nutrition and fitness coach helping people 40+ across the US stop guessing and start building real strength and consistency, with a program I build around your actual life. Based in Niskayuna, NY and available everywhere online.
Ready to stop starting over? Let’s talk. Your first step is a free 30-minute call — by phone, Zoom, or in person. In 30 minutes you will get clear on exactly what has been getting in your way, what your body actually needs right now, and what a realistic path forward looks like for your life. We talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what getting there could actually look like. You leave with clarity whether you work with me or not. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real conversation.

Join 100+ people who get honest advice, monthly workouts, and practical tools every week. No perfection required.
Sound familiar?
You keep starting over and you’re exhausted by it.
Work, family, and life always seem to win.
Generic programs never stick because they weren’t built for your actual life.
I get it because I live it too. I teach fitness classes multiple times a week, run a home, and still have days where fitting in my own workout feels impossible. I’m not standing outside your struggle looking in. I’m right there with you.
What Makes this Different?
I build your program around your life. Your schedule, your body, and your goals. Not a generic template that worked for someone else.
When your fitness plan actually fits your real life, you stop falling off. You stop restarting. You start building momentum that sticks because I design it for you from day one.
My clients don’t just get stronger. They stop fighting themselves. Fitness finally feels like something that belongs in their life, not something they have to keep chasing.
Two Ways to Work With Me
Every path starts with the same real-life approach. This is built around your body, your schedule, and your goals, not a generic template.
The Vitality Transformations App
Self-guided training with monthly phases that evolve every 4 weeks, built-in habit coaching from Transformational Habits, and a live monthly group call where I answer your questions directly. Message me anytime — I reply within 24 hours.

App + 1:1 Training
Want more personalized attention? This is fully custom coaching, one-on-one, built entirely around you — whether we train together in person or over Zoom.
Not sure which one is right for you?
That’s exactly what the free Clarity Call is for. We’ll figure out together whether the app, 1:1 training, or something in between is the right fit — no pressure, no obligation, just a real conversation.
Don’t just take my word for it; take a look at what my clients have to say below.
