Linda Melone has made 67 trips around the sun - and built a career that spans journalism, fitness, and marketing along the way.

She spent decades as a magazine writer covering health, fitness, and nutrition for publications including TIME, Health, Family Circle, AARP, MSN Health, The Huffington Post, SELF, Shape, Glamour, and Oxygen. Her work often blended her two professional worlds: writing and fitness.

Linda is also a former personal trainer with four national certifications, including the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential from the National Strength and Conditioning Association - one of the industry’s most respected certifications.

When the media landscape shifted, she launched her own online fitness business, Ageless After 50, before transitioning into full-time copywriting through her agency, The CopyWorx. She later created and hosted the podcast High-Conversion Health Copywriter. The show ran for more than four years and produced over 170 episodes.

In 2025, Linda began publishing essays on Medium about fitness, health, and the realities of getting older. Her honest, experience-driven approach quickly resonated with readers over 50 who are navigating aging while still wanting to stay engaged with life.

Today she focuses on telling stories that combine science, experience, and a healthy dose of realism about what it means to stay fit and mentally sharp as you age.

She is also the host of a the podcast Fit Over 50 Unfiltered, a podcast inspired by her Medium writing. She explores health, fitness, aging, and the unexpected realities of life after 50.
