Become your Strongest Self

 

Meet Carla

As women, our bodies go through big changes during menopause and beyond. Personally, I felt completely disconnected from my body.

My journey began with three herniated discs alongside the challenges of menopause. Through research, I discovered TRX training—a truly transformative approach that rebuilt my strength, energy, and confidence.

Now, at 61, I feel stronger than ever before

I Created the Space I Needed

When I first started, I couldn’t find a fitness program that truly understood women’s needs beyond 50. Some addressed menopause, but none considered what it meant to train safely with injuries or limitations—like my three herniated discs. I realized many women faced similar struggles.

So I set myself a mission: become a TRX-qualified trainer and create a space where women could train safely and effectively. That vision became Ectzone Studio.

And with its success came the Ectzone App. Wherever you live, you can now join our workouts, challenges, and community, and focus on building strength, energy, and longevity.

Ectzone is built on a simple belief: while our bodies change with age, we are not getting weaker—strength after 50 is absolutely possible. With the right approach and mindset, you can boost energy, build resilience, and reconnect with your body. I call it The Longevity Formula - E-book coming soon. 

Why TRX works

TRX is a world-renowned suspension training system that uses your own bodyweight and gravity to build strength, improve stability, and enhance mobility. What makes it so powerful is its versatility — you can adjust the intensity to suit any fitness level. For women in particular, TRX is joint-friendly, supports bone health, and helps build lean muscle safely, making it an ideal choice for lifelong strength and energy.

“I never enjoyed exercising before. It always felt like a punishment, until I tried TRX training with Carla! It changed my mind and of course my shape, with commitment and balanced meals I even lost one size. You can say that Carla's TRX class made me enjoy sports and I finally found a class that I like doing and gives me results. Thank you Carla, you are an amazing trainer.”

“TRX with Carla is amazing!  I began training with her as a complete novice, but within no time I felt quite comfortable doing exercises I would never have thought possible.  Each class is highly enjoyable. Carla keeps the momentum going and motivates me to push myself as far as I can.  Within a few weeks I felt fitter and stronger than I had ever done before!”

“Words fall short of how dedicated and inspiring Carla is. Getting trained by a TRX Master Trainer is such an honor and I see progress in my workouts. The environment of her classes (both studio and app) are so friendly that my mental health also saw huge improvements. Carla inspires us to challenge ourselves and yes, we all surprise ourselves at the end of the workout how much better we are able to do. I did not know what real training was until I started with Ectzone. The results have been incredible.”

“As I joined as a beginner, I started out with the beginners challenge and it was the perfect introduction! Now, I use the weekly workout plan every week and it is so nice not having to think about planning my workouts - Carla’s workout plan keeps me fit and motivated during busy weeks! Her live app classes are also amazing. To receive guidance from a qualified master trainer during live stream classes is just so unique! Carla cares for every single one of us!”

 FAQs

About TRX & Training

  • TRX (Total Resistance Exercise) is a form of suspension training that uses your own bodyweight and gravity to build strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability. Unlike traditional weight training, TRX engages multiple muscle groups at once, making every move more functional and efficient. It’s highly adaptable — the same exercise can be made easier or more challenging simply by changing your angle or position.

  • Yes. TRX is low-impact and joint-friendly, making it an excellent choice for beginners and those over 50. It helps improve balance, coordination, and bone strength, which are especially important as we age. As a TRX Master Trainer, I ensure every move is taught with proper form and modifications to keep you safe and confident.

  • Absolutely. TRX is a full-body workout that builds lean muscle, burns calories, and improves flexibility and mobility all at once. The combination of strength training and core engagement makes it effective for weight management, while the dynamic movements keep your body strong, stable, and mobile for everyday life.

Studio & Classes in Dubai
