Canadian mom-of-two Charlene Farnsworth is a satisfied grandmother-of-one, but at the same time, she’s often mistaken as a popular model. Little do people know that the 52-year-old goes through an extreme workout regime and maintains a strict diet for her amazingly lean body.


That’s right, at the age of 52, Charlene is a fitness maniac who does weightlifting six days a week.

Charlene, who’s now a fitness model and is studying to become a personal trainer, shares that most of her fans are youngsters in love with her toned body. At the same time, she’s been a happily married wife to Mike Farnsworth for 22 years now.

“People often tell me that I look younger than my age but I’m pretty sure it’s just because of my body,” Charlene shared about the compliments she gets from time to time.

“I’m not the shy girl I used to be because I feel good in my skin. Women at the gym are great, and they often compliment me. They will tell me that I have the perfect body and ask how I do it.”
For Charlene, weightlifting is a lifestyle. She shared, “When I’m in the gym, I have my headphones on, and I am super focused on my workout. But I do get people approach me. They ask whether I’m a fitness model or if I’m training for something specifically.”

“A few have even said they hope to get the results I’ve managed to achieve.”

Workouts have also improved her intimacy with her husband, Mike, who’s she’s credited as a very supportive partner throughout the journey.
