We didn't write these rules — our customers did. They show up in review after review, from an active 67-year-old with an eighteen-month daily streak, to a 79-year-old who still swims eight-mile ocean races. If you're training past 60, or planning to be, this is what the people actually doing it agree on.
1
1. Consistency beats intensity.
Read enough reviews from our older customers and one phrase keeps appearing: 'part of my daily routine.' Not personal bests, not transformations — routine. There's real wisdom in that. Past 60, the body responds less to the occasional heroic session and more to the steady accumulation of good days. The habit that shows up every morning beats the programme that shows up when it feels like it.

2. Recovery is where the training actually happens.
A workout doesn't make you stronger — recovering from it does. The repair process runs on essential amino acids arriving in the blood, and this is where age quietly moves the goalposts: the signal that triggered repair easily at 40 needs to be stronger at 60, while appetite and digestion often head the other way. That's the gap our customers describe closing. One reviewer, 62, wrote that only twelve days in she could already feel her muscles recovering quicker. The aminos were doing what her reduced appetite made harder to do with food alone.

3. Be kind to the machinery.
One of our favourite reviews comes from a 70-year-old: 'I can exercise better and for longer. More importantly, it is gentle on my digestive system.' That last part matters more than most supplement companies admit. Heavy shakes and big recovery meals ask a lot of an older stomach. A light, 20-calorie drink that skips the digestion queue entirely asks almost nothing — which is a big part of why the habit sticks.

4. Strength is non-negotiable.
'At over 60, maintaining muscle mass is key — this has been a game-changer.' That reviewer is describing the combination our older customers use most: aminos daily for repair, creatine for strength work. Muscle is the retirement fund you can't start too late on — it's balance, independence, carrying your own bags. The training builds it; the aminos help make sure the building materials actually arrive.

5. Never accept the word 'slow down.'
The 79-year-old in our reviews didn't: '8-mile ocean swim this weekend. Felt good, no cramping, recovery is reasonable.' Nobody needs a supplement to have that attitude. But if the plan is to keep showing up — in the pool, under the bar, on the trail — it helps to give the body what it needs to keep saying yes.

8-mile ocean swim this weekend. Felt good, no cramping, recovery is reasonable given I'm 79 this year.
