What if getting older isn’t about slowing down—but about getting stronger? 

On this episode of the NFM Podcast, host Collin Schoen sits down with Terry Coulter, the 2025 Ms. Tennessee Senior America and First Runner-Up at the National Senior America Pageant, to talk about strength, fitness, healthy aging, and why it’s never too late to pursue a new dream.

Terry became a Certified Personal Trainer at age 52 after a knee injury ended her running career. Rather than letting the injury slow her down, she reinvented herself through strength training and has spent more than a decade helping others improve their health, fitness, and quality of life.

Terry shares her journey into fitness, her experience competing in the Tennessee Senior Olympics, her high-energy Rocky jump rope routine, and how she uses her platform—including her “10 with Terry” fitness videos—to inspire people of all ages to stay active and build strength.

She also talks about her work with Doors of Hope, where she volunteers by leading a weekly fitness class for women in residential recovery, and how raising her 11-year-old granddaughter motivates her to stay strong, healthy, and active.

Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness after 50, build strength as you age, or simply need a reminder that you’re never too old to start something new, Terry’s story is proof that age is not a limitation—it can be a reason to become even stronger.
