My Story. My Mission.
Hi, I’m Wallace Merriman.
For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching women through some of the most challenging and transformative stages of life, including perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
I may be a man, but I’ve dedicated my career to deeply understanding the unique struggles women face in midlife. From sleepless nights and stubborn weight gain to the frustration of doing “everything right” but still not feeling like yourself, I’ve heard it all, and I’ve helped women move past it.
Why I Coach Women
Too often, women are dismissed or told to “just diet harder” or “accept it.” That never sat right with me. Women deserve more. Real support, clear strategies, and someone who truly listens.
As a Female Body Transformation Coach, former U.S. Army Master Fitness Trainer, and Certified Fitness Nutritionist, I’ve worked with thousands of women in midlife. I combine proven methods with empathy and understanding so women can feel strong, confident, and supported while making real, lasting change.
My Approach
-
Fitness that builds strength, protects bones, and fits into daily life.
-
Nutrition that fuels energy without fad diets or deprivation.
-
Lifestyle shifts that improve sleep, lower stress, and restore balance.
-
Consistency that creates sustainable, long-term results.
A Client Success Story
One client came to me feeling frustrated after years of “doing everything right” but still gaining weight and struggling with energy. Together, we shifted her focus to strength training, adjusted her nutrition for midlife needs, and simplified her plan. Within months, she not only lost weight but also regained her confidence, strength, and energy.
This is why I do what I do, to help women realize that thriving in midlife is absolutely possible.
Let’s Work Together
At You Be Fit, my mission is simple:
-
Cut through the confusion around fitness, nutrition, and menopause.
-
Provide clarity, support, and accountability.
-
Build strategies that last a lifetime, not just a moment in time.
Midlife is not the beginning of the end. It’s the start of a new, powerful chapter. If you’re ready to feel stronger, clearer, and more confident, I’d love to walk this journey with you.
Ready to start your journey?
I’ve helped women in midlife feel stronger, clearer, and more confident for over 20 years. Now it’s your turn.
