Welcome to The Barbell Balance

Where strong women over 40 come to rise.

Let’s get one thing straight…

You’re not broken.
You don’t need to shrink.
And no—your body isn’t past its prime.

You’ve just been lied to.

Lied to by diet culture.
By the fitness industry.
By every influencer selling you waist trainers and “quick fix” hormones in a pink bottle.

They taught you to fear carbs, chase smaller pants, and hate your reflection.
They told you that pain, weight gain, and pelvic floor problems were your new normal after 40.
They never told you that muscle is medicine.
That strength is your superpower.
And that you can feel more powerful in your body now than you ever did in your 20s.

You want the truth?

You can deadlift over 200 lbs with prolapse.
You can eat more and burn fat.
You can heal your relationship with your body without starving, shaming, or settling.
You can be strong, sexy, and unapologetically yourself—even in a body that doesn’t fit the “fitness pro” mold.

Meet Terrell Baldock

Coach. Educator. Prolapse rebel. Olympic lifter. Mom.

I help women over 40 rebel against diet culture and rise into their strongest, boldest, most powerful selves.

I’ve built a business around showing women that strength training, proper nutrition, and understanding their hormones isn’t just a lifestyle—
it’s a revolution.

But let me back up for a second…

I wasn’t always this strong.

I started out like many of my clients: overtraining, undereating, and trying to earn a body that would finally make me feel “enough.”

Then came motherhood. Pelvic organ prolapse. Weight gain. Hormonal chaos.

I was told I should stop lifting heavy. That my strength was a threat to my healing. That I had to choose between my goals and my body.

Spoiler: I chose both.

I chose to get curious instead of compliant. I studied the body, strength, hormones, and healing. I rebuilt my core and pelvic floor. I stopped chasing aesthetics and started chasing strength.

And in doing so, I found something better than skinny:

I found brave.

I built The Barbell Balance to help other women do the same.

To stop shrinking and start rising. To train in a way that respects their biology. To fuel their body with food and power, not fear. To stop waiting until they “fix” themselves to feel worthy.

You don’t have to give up on your strength, your body, or your goals. You just need a different path.

Welcome to mine.
