Personal Trainers in Portsmouth, NH

With 10 years of experience as personal trainer, I know what it's like as an individual to overcome adversity. I started my fitness journey at 235 lbs and since then have been able to accomplish losing over 80 pounds with intended plans of stepping on stage in the bodybuilding world to compete in women's physique. Since starting I fell in love with the process and set out with a purpose to teach individuals that it's not just a diet or quick change it is a process, mindset, and lifestyle change change that helps to develop you into a better individual in different aspects of life not just the gym. And most importantly if i can do it, anyone can! Let me help you make it happen:)!

Updated 04/25: Hi, I’m Charlie — Your Expert Virtual Personal Trainer for 40+ Adults With over 30 years of experience training everyone from A-list Hollywood actors to high-level execs at Paramount, Netflix, and Amazon, I specialize in helping everyday adults look, feel, and perform at their best—especially women in their 40s to 70s. After the pandemic shifted the fitness world, I moved my entire training program online. Now, I work virtually with a small group of serious clients—guiding each one through a customized and rejuvenating fitness journey using Zoom, minimal equipment, and smart, proven routines that never overwhelm. My Method: Science-Based, Equipment-Optional, Heart-Focused Every session is designed around you—your goals, your space, and your body. I begin by checking your resting heart rate and then guide you through a smooth flow of: Gentle warm-ups that protect your joints and prepare your body Foundational strength movements like squats, bends, and stretches (often using just light dumbbells or body weight) Custom cardio bursts using your own equipment or bodyweight options like jumping jacks Targeted sculpting for your core, arms, shoulders, and back Cool-down and breathing that reconnect your body and mind, helping you leave energized, not exhausted We work in three progressive stages, always staying within safe limits. This is not a “bootcamp.” It’s a wellness-centered, professional approach designed for real people—especially women over 40—who want consistency, confidence, and results. What You’ll Need: A small, safe space in your home, hotel, or gym A smartphone or device with a camera (tripod recommended) Headphones or AirPods for clear communication Optional: light dumbbells, a stability ball, or any cardio machine you already have I highly recommend wearing a biometric device (like a smartwatch) during our sessions. I built an app and training platform that helps us monitor your heart rate in real-time—so I can keep you in your ideal training zone and help you see the results. Why Clients Love It: Professional, structured, adult-focused training Never yelling or pushing beyond healthy limits Clear guidance, constant support, zero confusion A calm but effective rhythm that fits your lifestyle I'm not in this to take on hundreds of people. I’m here for a few dedicated clients who are serious about investing in their health and want expert guidance without hype or chaos. Book a Session — Or Ask a Question First You don’t need a gym. You don’t need equipment. You just need a quiet corner and a willingness to improve. Visit my website or message me here. Let's build a fitness plan that’s as mature and reliable as you are. Let’s get started today. Charlie Dannelly II | Virtual Personal Trainer Author of “The Power of the Fitness Mind”

You’re stuck. You’re at your breaking point. Your quality of life is declining. You want more energy, less anxiety, to feel healthy and focused, but instead you feel overwhelmed, and you stress eat. I hear you! You know you should exercise, eat healthy, and get more sleep, but you just can’t get past KNOWING to actually DOING! I hear you! You’re an OLDER ADULT eager to maintain your physical and mental independence, a super busy MOM who feels guilty taking even a moment for self-care, or a beginner RUNNER who wants to finish her first half marathon. I hear you! As a mom to two young kids, a former corporate lawyer and a small business owner, I understand being exhausted and feeling like there’s simply not enough hours in the day. Going for a run, sleeping for a full night, and cooking instead of getting take out seem like luxuries. I hear you! I will help you break through these seemingly invincible barriers as your health coach, personal trainer, or running coach (or any combination of the three!) to move you from unhealthy stagnation to healthy action. Please note that I am in LOS ANGELES, CA and can only work in person with those near me. I work remotely with clients around the world!
