"I created the Fit and Fierce program because I know
what it’s like to see your body change in
perimenopause and menopause. What you did in your
twenties and thirties for fat loss, no longer works.
Muscle tone and the waistline disappear."
Hi! I’m Carol Covino and I’ve worked with over a thousand women in the past decade to help them lose weight, reduce belly fat, and increase muscle.
I’m the author of Finding Purpose in the Pause: Your Guide to Thriving in Menopause and Beyond, the creator of the Fit and Fierce program for women over 45, and the host of the Forever Fit with Carol Covino podcast.
When I was in my late forties, I was a nationally ranked distance runner. I was convinced cardio was the key for having a great body. But the more I ran, the worse I looked.
My legs and arms were flabby, my butt was flat, and I was getting the dreaded menopause pooch in my belly. I knew I needed to do something, but I had no clue where to turn for help.
I understood that nutrition was a key piece. So I hired a coach who gave me my first meal and workout plan. In a few short months my body improved and I did my first bikini bodybuilding show at age 51.
I was so excited that I wanted to help other midlife women experience the same results. So I set out to learn everything I could about exercise and nutrition.
Fast forward to today. I am in my sixties, and have a better body than I did at age 30.
I’ve created the Fit and Fierce program to educate women on how to have healthy hormones through lifestyle so they can lose weight for good, reduce belly fat, increase lean muscle, and live their fullest life.

Once you join Fit and Fierce you will have immediate access to the online course inside my website. Each week a module is released with a short video and pdf guides. The content in this course will support you throughout the 16 weeks and help you to maximize your results.
You will complete a brief health questionnaire which helps me develop your custom plan.
You will also receive an exclusive invitation to my app where your workouts, nutrition protocol, goals, and daily habits will be right at your fingertips. The app records your workouts, tracks your progress, and awards badges each time a milestone is reached.
Please allow 2 to 3 business days for the program to be built.
This program requires you to be consistent, dedicated, motivated, and to have a positive mindset. I will be with you every step of the way.
If you have numerous physical limitations, I suggest that you do not sign up for Fit & Fierce. This program requires the ability to strength train a minimum of 3 days per week and a commitment to daily movement.
YES ABSOLUTELY! The founder, Carol Covino, is in her 60s and is an expert in female metabolism. She understands the unique nutritional and exercise needs of post menopausal women and has designed this program to address the challenges women face at 40, 50, 60, and beyond.
Yes we will provide you a home version. However, you will need to have or purchase some basic pieces of equipment such as various bands and a dumbbell set in different weights (example: a set of 5, 10, 15, and 20 lb dumbbells).
Also, it is important to understand that it is difficult to build muscle with limited equipment. You can start with this. However, in order to progress you will need to invest in additional equipment or join a gym.
Preparation and planning is a major part of Fit & Fierce. Without meal prep, it will be difficult for you to succeed. For this reason, I ask that you only join if you are willing to plan and prepare meals.
Please do not sign up for Fit & Fierce if this is your lifestyle. Your eating does not need to be perfect. However, in my experience this habit completely derails any results.
Fit & Fierce is a digital program delivered in two parts. First, you will have access to an online course inside my website which walks you through basic lifestyle habits and changes. Second, your exercise and nutrition protocol will be available inside the Trainerize app. The app also tracks your progress.
Yes you can. However, the program is entirely virtual and requires some basic knowledge and a mobile device for the app. The app is simple to use and our meetings are on Zoom. However, if you know that you have absolutely no tech knowledge, this may not be the best fit for you.
Yes. There is a 14 day money back guarantee. If after 14 days you decide the program is not for you, you will receive a full refund.
Yes I do. At checkout, you can choose a 4 pay.
I work with your current lifestyle and schedule to provide a plan that is easy to implement with simple nutrition strategies and short, effective workouts.
However, you must have the time to implement the training plan and prepare meals. You also must be committed to moving as much as possible during the day. Those who have higher step counts tend to see better results.
Yes! The workouts are personalized to your fitness level.However, if you have numerous and complex physical limitations, this program is not the best fit for you.
