Aren’t You Sick Of Being Let Down By Generic Programs?
You’ve tried the group classes, the apps, the YouTube workouts. Maybe you got results for a while. Maybe you never did. But at some point the program stopped working, or you stopped doing it, because it was never actually built for you.
A 57-year-old woman navigating perimenopause with a bad knee and a demanding job does not need the same program as a 32-year-old training for a marathon. She needs someone who knows her history, understands her body, and adjusts the plan when life gets in the way.
That is what Built 2 Last is. Not a template with your name on it but actual coaching.
You might be at the point where:
You have tried multiple programs and nothing has stuck long term
You know you need accountability beyond just a workout calendar
Your body has specific needs (injuries, hormone changes, health history) that a generic plan ignores
You want someone in your corner who actually knows your name and remembers what you told them last week
You are ready to make a real investment in yourself and want results to match
If that’s you, this is where you belong.
How Built 2 Last Works
Step 1: Fill Out the Intake Form
Tell me about your goals, your history, your schedule, and anything your body is dealing with right now. The more I know going in, the better I can build for you from day one.
Step 2: Get Your Custom Program
I build your fitness and nutrition plan from scratch, all designed around your specific goals, your equipment, your limitations, and your lifestyle.
Step 3: We Work It Together for 3 Months
Every week we connect on a Zoom call to review your progress, adjust what is not working, and keep you moving forward. You also have my direct number for questions between sessions. Over 3 months, your program evolves as you do.
Everything That Comes With Built 2 Last

Your Custom Fitness Program
Built from scratch around your goals, your body, your available equipment, and your schedule. Not a template or a generic plan with your name dropped in. A program that was made for you specifically, and that gets updated as you progress.

Nutrition Coaching and Guidance
We work on your relationship with food, your protein targets, your meal patterns, and the habits that support your training and your hormones. No starvation plans or counting every calorie. Real nutrition guidance that makes sense for your life.

Weekly Zoom Coaching Calls
Every week we sit down together — even if it is just 20 minutes — to talk through how your training is going, what is feeling hard, what progress looks like, and what we are adjusting. This is where the real coaching happens. You are not just sending check-ins into a void. We have real conversations every week.

Direct SMS Access to Me
Have a question between calls? Text me. If something is not feeling right, if you have a question about a movement, if life threw a wrench in your week, I am reachable.

Progress Tracking and Ongoing Adjustments
Your program is not static. As you get stronger, as your body changes, as your schedule shifts, the plan changes with it. Regular tracking means we always know what is working and what needs to change.

3-Month Commitment
Built 2 Last runs on a 3-month commitment because real results take time. This coaching relationship is designed to build the habits, the strength, and the knowledge that last well beyond those 3 months.
30 Years of Coaching. Every Program I Build Shows It.
I have been coaching women for over three decades. I have worked with women who came to me after cancer. Women returning from hip surgery. Women who had never set foot in a gym in their lives. Women who had been training for years and still could not figure out why they were not seeing results.
What I know, from 30 years and from my own body, is that there is no single right answer. There is only the right answer for you. At 63, I have navigated the same hormonal shifts, the same frustrations, and the same physical limitations my clients bring to me. That does not make me a better coach on paper. It makes me a better coach in practice.
Built 2 Last is the program I give to women who are serious about changing their health and are ready to do it with real support behind them. If you are ready, I am ready.
You’ve Tried Doing It Alone. Let's Try Something Different.

Built 2 Last is a personalized 1-on-1 online fitness and nutrition coaching program for women over 45, designed and delivered by Anna McGee, a women's fitness coach with over 30 years of experience specializing in pre-menopausal and menopausal women. The program is available to women anywhere in the United States and runs on a 3-month commitment that includes a fully custom workout program, nutrition coaching and guidance, weekly Zoom coaching calls, and direct SMS access to Anna between sessions.
Unlike group programs or template-based plans, Built 2 Last is built entirely around the individual woman — her goals, her health history, her available equipment, and her lifestyle. For women over 45 navigating perimenopause or menopause, this level of customization matters. Hormonal changes affect how the body responds to training and nutrition, and a program that does not account for those changes will not deliver the results a woman at this stage of life is capable of achieving.
Built 2 Last clients work directly with Anna McGee throughout their 3-month program. Progress is tracked consistently, the program is adjusted as the client gets stronger, and real coaching conversations happen every week, not just automated check-ins. Women who have completed the program report lasting changes to their body composition, their relationship with food, and their confidence in and out of the gym.
For women over 45 who are ready to stop following programs that were never designed for their body and start working with a coach who understands exactly where they are, Built 2 Last is the place to begin. Fill out the online form or call Anna McGee directly at (218) 393-4671 to start the conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Fit 4 Life is a group program, the same workouts go out to every member, with coaching in a live and on-demand format. Built 2 Last is fully individual. Your program is built from scratch around your specific goals, history, limitations, and equipment. You also get weekly 1-on-1 Zoom calls and direct SMS access to me. It is a completely different level of support and personalization.
-
We work on the things that actually drive results: your protein intake, your meal patterns, your relationship with food, and the habits that support your training and your hormones. This is not a meal plan you follow for 30 days and abandon. It is practical nutrition guidance that fits into your real life and changes how you think about food long term.
-
Your program is built around whatever equipment you have access to — whether that is a full home gym, a set of dumbbells, or a gym membership. I work with what you have. No specific equipment is required to start.
-
This is exactly where the customization of Built 2 Last matters most. Your program is built around your body, not in spite of your limitations, but fully accounting for them. Mention everything in the intake form and I will factor it in from the first session.
-
Yes. I specialize in pre-menopausal and menopausal women. The hormonal changes of this stage of life directly affect how your body responds to training and nutrition, and your program will be built to work with those changes, not against them. This is not something you have to explain to me. I have lived it and I coach around it every day.
-
Because real results take time. The first month is about learning your body, establishing habits, and building your baseline. The second month is where the real progress starts. The third month is where it compounds. Women who commit to the full 3 months consistently see the most meaningful changes, not just in their body, but in their confidence and their relationship with fitness. A shorter window does not give us enough time to do the work properly.
-

-
That depends on where you are and what you want. Some clients continue with another round of Built 2 Last. Some transition to Fit 4 Life to maintain their progress with group support. Some have built enough knowledge and confidence to train more independently. We figure that out together when the time comes.
