Janet Salazar
Hi, I’m Coach Janet!
In my late 20s, I was the picture of unhealthy habits—smoking a pack a day, eating all the wrong foods, never exercising, and working nonstop. Fast forward a couple of decades, and I completely transformed my health, fitness, and life—and now I help others do the same.
After more than 20 years in the corporate world as an IT project and portfolio manager, I left to pursue my passion: Now I specialize in helping women 40+ balance hormones, lose stubborn belly fat, and feel in control again through simple, sustainable fitness and nutrition strategies.
My own transformation took me from zero fitness to standing on podiums in karate, bodybuilding, CrossFit, and now pickleball competitions. In fact, in my last CrossFit Open, I ranked 31st in Canada for my age group!
Today, I’m proud to be part of the over-60 club and a mom of four grown children.

The content is excellent, especially the parts about balancing hormones with nutrition. I only wish there were more follow-along workout videos instead of just explanations. Still, I learned a lot and I’d recommend it.
By Jessi Nj on 10/3/2025
Finally, someone who explains menopause without making it scary. Janet’s approach is practical and kind. I especially appreciated the meal ideas, they’re simple enough for me to follow without feeling like I’m on a diet

I’m 46 and didn’t think menopause applied to me yet, but I’m so glad I took this. The early symptoms made more sense after watching the first few modules. The flexible approach to exercise is realistic for my busy schedule.
By Monique Brunat on 10/3/2025
I liked how short the videos are. I could squeeze in a lesson during my lunch break, and by the end of the week I’d actually put the ideas into practice. I’ve started lifting weights again and my back pain is already better. Thank you

I’m 52 and was struggling with hot flashes, weight gain, and just feeling blah. After finishing the course, I’m eating differently and actually have energy again. Not everything clicked right away, but it gave me tools I can use every day.
By Brenda Ayala on 10/3/2025
Great overview of fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle for midlife women. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because some sections were a little too short, I wanted more detail. But overall, very helpful.
By Melanie Rose on 9/27/2025
I appreciate that Janet is in her 60s and actually gets it. So many fitness instructors are 25 and don’t understand menopause. Her tone is encouraging but not pushy. It feels like advice from a friend who’s been there.
By Dee Callicot on 9/27/2025
I joined because I felt stuck and tired all the time. The strength workouts are short but surprisingly effective. After 5 weeks I feel stronger and my jeans fit better. I’m not back to my 30-year-old body, but I feel like myself again.
By Mary Galy on 9/27/2025
I’m 54 and had given up on losing belly fat, but Janet explains WHY it’s harder at this stage and what to actually do about it. I’ve lost 2 inches around my waist so far, but honestly the biggest win is my sleep, I’m finally sleeping through the night.
By Σταυρούλα Βενιέρη on 9/27/2025
Janet's program is easy to follow and has given me the tools to take control of my health. I’ve lost inches and feel stronger than I have in years! I retook the course later on, and it was just as valuable, this time, I was able to apply the strategies with even more confidence and consistency.
