I help guys over 40 and 50 in Fort Collins get stronger and tap into what they’re really capable of, starting with solid strength training.


Back in my 40s, I was that guy pounding out endless cardio, chasing fat loss and coming up short.


I didn’t get it right until my 50s when I flipped the script—focused on eating smart (protein’s my best friend now 😎) and making strength training my secret weapon.


It transformed my body and how I live, and at 61, I’m in better shape than I was in my 30s. And I’m all about helping guys like you do the same—right here in Northern Colorado.


Why Strength Training’s the Real Deal


What do I mean? Well...


Lifting is your foundation for staying healthy as you age. 


Dr. Peter Attia nailed it—lean muscle mass beats everything for living long and strong. 


So, forget the hype about endless cardio or bullsh*t health hacks. 


This is about REAL results.


Lifting: 

– Stops muscle loss

– Grows muscle

– Revs up your metabolism

– Eases joint pain


And keeps you moving and feeling great! 


Plus, lifting can boost testosterone, make you feel so much better, and give you energy to improve every part of your life!


Whether you’re 40, 50, 60, or beyond, I’ll show you how to make strength work for you. No perfection required—just show up and work with me. 


How Do We Kick Things Off?


We start with a meeting at The Other Club in Fort Collins.


We’ll talk about what you want—whether it's dropping stubborn belly fat, building muscle, or just having the energy to enjoy life here in NoCo.


Then we’ll do a quick assessment to see where you’re are right now. No judgment, just a baseline.


From there, we’ll build a plan that’s all you—centered on strength training, smart eating, and fitting into your real life.


This isn’t some generic program; it’s your roadmap to feeling getting stronger and feeling better.


Lifting is the Foundation


I didn’t fully buy into lifting until later, but man, it changed everything for me. Now it’s how I train every guy I work with.


We hit the basics—squats, deadlifts, presses—stuff that builds real strength and makes daily life easier, like hiking Horsetooth or chasing the grandkids. 


But It's More Than Just Weights


Lifting’s the core, but it’s not the whole program. Not at all. In face, we'll mix in mobility work to keep your joints happy and some cardio to keep you going strong.


I’ll also nudge you toward eating right—think whole foods, plenty of protein—to fuel the gains. It’s not about extreme diets or grinding yourself down; it’s about working smarter so you can stick with it and grow.


Where We Train


We train at The Other Club—a local I love because it's  a no-nonsense and effective place—no big-box gym chaos, just a nice setting to get it done. It’s not intimidating; it’s a spot where guys over 50 can focus and see results.


New to lifting? Been a while? It really doesn’t matter because we'll turn sweat into strength, and have fun doing it.


Your Payoff: Strength That Sticks


This isn’t about quick fixes or trying to be 25 again. It’s about building a body that keeps you active and independent for life.


Lifting boosts your metabolism, strengthens your bones, and makes everyday stuff like hauling groceries or hitting the trails so much easier.


And the energy?


The way it lifts your mood?


That’s what keeps you hooked. I live it at 61, and I see it in the guys I train: strength training delivers.


Where Are You Right Now?


Maybe you’ve been like me—chasing the wrong goals with endless cardio or avoiding fitness because it feels like too much.


Or maybe you’re thinking, “I’m too old for this.” I hear that all the time, but I’m proof it’s nonsense.


Too many guys my age are struggling—overweight, slouched, slowing down—like they’re just accepting the decline.


I like to think the men I train refuse to settle, and they’re getting stronger, moving better, and proving age is just a number.


Wherever you’re at on your journey, here’s the truth: it’s never too late to start—or restart.


Over 40? Over 50? 60?


You’ve got the wisdom to train smarter, not harder—fuel your body, lift with purpose, and watch yourself get leaner, stronger, and more alive than ever.


And I will help you get there!
