Set for adventure

At 69, Tricia had a mission: ride horseback to Machu Picchu for her 70th birthday. After a back injury that shook her confidence, she came to Bodyset ready to take back control. With support from our Women’s Health team, she’s building strength, regaining trust in her body, and proving it’s never too late to chase something extraordinary.

“I had an accident at work in 2009 that left me with a crushed vertebrae. It changed everything. I had surgery to fuse my spine and insert a titanium cage, but for years after, I struggled to find the confidence to move again, let alone ride a horse.”

As the years went on, Tricia’s world became smaller. Her mobility declined, her motivation dipped, and the idea of adventure felt out of reach. But something shifted.

“My daughter inspires me. She travels the world and does things I never dared. One day, I just thought: why not me?”

Tricia had a Women’s Health Assessment at Bodyset and never looked back.

“The assessment was incredible. They looked at everything, identified my weak spots, and gave me a simple plan to strengthen my core. It wasn’t hours in the gym, it was targeted, doable, and effective.”

The result? Confidence. Not just in Tricia’s body, but in her whole outlook.

“With Bodyset’s help, I’m riding again. I’ve even got a tattoo, because I can! And I’m planning to go to Machu Picchu. I’m almost 70 and I’m finally living life like I’ve always wanted to.”

What would she say to other women?

“It’s never too late. Don’t hold back. Book a Women’s Health Assessment and just start. You won’t regret it.”
