Terri Sparks: At 69, Outpacing 30-Year-Olds with Strength & RxD Power

When most people think of aging, they picture slowing down, losing energy, and watching life pass by. But Terri Sparks is here to flip that narrative on its head. At 69 years old, she has more energy, strength, and confidence than many half her ageβ€”and she credits it all to one thing: strength training at Results by Design Fitness (RxD).

This is the story of how Terri found her spark again, unlocked her inner powerhouse, and became the healthiest, strongest version of herself at nearly 70.


The Spark Behind Terri’s Transformation

Why She Chose RxD Fitness

Terri was looking for more than just a gymβ€”she wanted guidance, community, and results.

At RXD, she found a place where:

  • Age was never a limitation.
  • Every workout was designed to help, not hurt.
  • Coaches understood her body and knew how to help her succeed.
  • The vibe was more family than fitness fads

Strength, Energy, and Confidence at 69

Since joining RXD, Terri’s noticed:

  • More daily energy than she had in her 30s.
  • Improved balance, flexibility, and joint health.
  • The ability to lift, move, and perform everyday tasks with ease.
  • A renewed sense of purpose and pride in her body.

What Makes RxD Different?

The RxD Philosophy in Action

At RXD, we believe fitness is customized, not cookie-cutter. Terri thrives because RxD workouts are built around these core principles:

  • Full-body strength training designed for real-life functionality.
  • Metabolic finishers to burn fat and increase endurance.
  • Active recovery and mobility-focused sessions.
  • Real nutrition habits (no diets, just smart eating).
  • Accountability coaching that keeps members on track.

Terri isn’t just another memberβ€”she’s part of a tight-knit community where every success is celebrated.


The RxD Community: Built to Support You

Where Motivation Meets Accountability

Terri found her rhythm at RxD not just because of the workoutsβ€”but because of the people. Our members:

  • Encourage each other
  • Share wins in the RxD VIP Group
  • Show up consistently
  • Make training fun and social

There’s power in communityβ€”and Terri says that having people in your corner makes it easier to show up, push harder, and never quit.

Member Recognition & Progress Tracking

Terri takes part in:

  • RxD Milestone Badges
  • InBody Check-ins to measure results
  • Progress tracking through the RxD Semi Private Pro App
  • Coaching Check-Ins to stay aligned with goals

She’s not just working outβ€”she’s crushing goals with a plan.


What Terri’s Weekly Routine Looks Like

Balanced Training for Strength & Longevity

Terri typically trains 3-4 days per week, focusing on:

  • Strength days (with progressive overload and compound movements)
  • Conditioning finishers to improve stamina
  • Mobility and core work to stay agile
  • Active recovery (walking, stretching, yoga)

Each session is designed with intention, not intensity for intensity’s sake.

No More Guessworkβ€”Just Results

Because RxD programs change every 4-6 weeks, Terri is never boredβ€”and always progressing.


Fueling Her Fire: Terri’s Nutrition Blueprint

The RxD Nutrition Strategy

Terri follows RxD’s 90% ruleβ€”not perfect, just consistent. Her routine includes:

  • Protein every meal (1g per lb. of lean body mass)
  • Healthy fats and fiber for balanced energy
  • Carbs at night to promote fat loss and muscle recovery
  • Water intake (at least her bodyweight in ounces daily)

    This approach keeps her energized, lean, and feeling fantastic.

The RxD Mindset: Own Your Age, Don’t Let It Own You

Confidence Is the New Strength

For Terri, mindset is everything. RxD has helped her:

  • Shift from fear to confidence
  • Embrace the challenge of training
  • Focus on progress over perfection
  • Realize she’s a leader by example

She knows her actions inspire others, and that keeps her motivated and unstoppable.

Why Strength Training Is the Key to Aging Well

Science backs it up: strength training at any age improves:

  • Muscle mass
  • Bone density
  • Balance and mobility
  • Mental clarity

Terri doesn’t β€œexercise to stay alive”—she trains to LIVE FULLY.
