Hi, I am Gretchen Zelek, senior fitness expert.
I am the founder of Go Gretch, a fitness and lifestyle brand for everyone over 50.
Once I turned 50, I found it difficult to find the right tools, classes, and instructors that I was comfortable with in the gym.
I co-founded a business that designed and sold fitness tools to make exercising on the knees, wrists, and back more comfortable. I presented and taught at many fitness conventions about the proper way to train and coach people over 50. To be credible and learn as much as I could, I immersed myself in the fitness business and became a certified AFAA group fitness instructor and a Functional Aging Specialist.
I have traveled all over the world. I loved visiting Bhutan, where they promoted the Gross National Happiness Index, but I also enjoyed climbing a glacier in Patagonia as well as visiting saunas throughout Scandinavia. To be honest, though, there is no place like home, and I love living in Santa Monica, CA.
I am going to help you live, learn and laugh as we rediscover our fitness, health, and lifestyle goals. I can’t wait to share with you opportunities, products, and ways to contribute to your health, happiness, and fun.

My favorite fitness class to take is online Corebarrefit, where the fabulous instructors follow the motto, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” They know how to teach students of all ages with clarity, respect, and knowledge.
Every day after taking a class, I am reminded what a good fitness class and good people can do for your mind, your body, and your soul. It’s what is missing for most people over 50, and that is why I am here.
