The Michael Peres Podcast

A Conversation with Jill Jones and Elizabeth Reeder


Listen Later

Michael Peres sits down with Jill Jones and Elizabeth Reeder, lifelong friends, busy moms, and co-founders of FitQuo – a practical, science-backed fitness system designed to help real adults over 40 feel strong, capable, and confident again. After watching people they love struggle with mobility, strength loss, and “feeling old” far too early, they became certified personal trainers and built a program that actually fits into real life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How a bold “you’re going to be my friend” in high school gym class sparked a decades-long friendship
• Why Jill and Elizabeth kept circling back to the idea of building a business together around health, fitness, and real-world wellness
• The family experiences that made mobility and strength loss feel urgent, not theoretical
• How Elizabeth’s dad’s battle with Parkinson’s showed them firsthand how strength training can slow decline and preserve independence
• Why effective strength training doesn’t require a gym, hours a day, or perfection – and how 20–30 minutes at home can be genuinely life-changing
• The philosophy behind FitQuo and how they’re helping adults over 40 reclaim strength, mobility, and confidence on their own terms
