Daune Turner stands on a platform after achieving a California state squat record in the Ladies of Iron competition. She is wearing black exercise t-shirt and shorts and smiling.

Her Story

Daune’s work is rooted in a simple belief: strength training, approached with an athlete’s mindset, has the power to extend independence and improve quality of life.

She became an athlete in her 40s, and that shift fundamentally changed how she approaches health and self-care — from valuing effort and delayed gratification to understanding the importance of movement, recovery, nutrition, and stress management. That perspective now shapes how she coaches every client.

Her Philosophy

Training is not about perfection — it’s about showing up consistently and doing your best to care for your body. Daune believes that prioritizing strength and movement today is one of the most powerful ways to support independence and health for the future.

Strength is not just physical. It’s mental, emotional, and deeply personal.
