Fitness and Wellness Designed for Life After Forty
Fit Over Forty is Jane Johnston’s movement and wellness practice for adults seeking safe, supportive fitness after forty.
Fit Over Forty is a wellness and medical exercise practice created to support individuals who want to move with greater ease, confidence, and comfort as their bodies change. The practice emphasizes personalized, sustainable movement rather than intensity or performance, offering a thoughtful blend of medical exercise, gentle strength and mobility work, and mind-body practices. Through private sessions and classes—online, in person, and in the water—Fit Over Forty provides a supportive environment for adults over forty, individuals managing medical conditions or recovery, and anyone seeking a respectful, whole-person approach to fitness and well-being.
Jane Johnston helps people feel better, move better, and confidently navigate their wellness and medical exercise needs at any stage of life. With a deeply compassionate and personalized approach, Jane works with each client to understand their movement, wellness, and fitness goals and to develop a program that supports comfort, ease, and long-term vitality.
Jane offers private sessions and classes online, in person, and in the water. Her work blends medical exercise, gentle strength and mobility practices, and mind-body approaches to support clients managing medical conditions, recovery, or age-related changes. She has a particular interest in working with adults over fifty, individuals in pre- or post-rehabilitation, those with joint replacements or special needs, and clients seeking safe, sustainable movement.
Teaching fitness and movement since the early 1970s, Jane brings over 50 years of experience in the wellness field. She has worked extensively on land, in aquatic environments since 1977, and online since 2011. Her background allows her to thoughtfully integrate conventional exercise methods with practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and the Feldenkrais Method® to support both physical function and overall well-being.
With a foundation in psychology and ongoing study in medical fitness, Feldenkrais®, Yoga therapy, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong, Jane is committed to continuous learning and thoughtful care. Her goal is simple and steady: to help clients move with greater comfort, confidence, and ease, and to support them in creating a wellness program that genuinely enhances their quality of life.

About the Feldenkrais Method
About the
Feldenkrais Method
About the Feldenkrais Method
The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education uses gentle movement and directed attention to help people learn new and more effective ways of living the life they want. You can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. Since how you move is how you move through life, these improvements will often enhance your thinking, emotional regulation, and problem-solving capabilities.
The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.” By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.
You can experience the Feldenkrais Method in two ways. Awareness Through Movement® lessons are taught in a group setting, with students following the verbal instructions of the teacher. Functional Integration® sessions are one on one lessons where the fully clothed student is guided through touch, movement and verbal instruction.
