Do you want to know the biggest issue with most training programs?

They're mostly written for 20-somethings that are already fit and in-shape.

They don’t account for the accumulated wear and tear an older body has.

They don’t consider the additional stress (work, life, money, etc.) that you deal with as you get older.

And most importantly, they don’t account for the fact that you can’t simply recover like you could when you were in your early 20’s!

So if you’re a tad on the older side, or maybe not in the kind of shape you’d like to be, what do you do?

Give up?

Call it a career?

Hell no – you simply find a program that’s better suited to you!

Do you want to build a lean, strong and athletic physique?

Are you dealing with little aches and pains that have kept you from training like an athlete?

Would you like to follow a program that's custom-made for clients and athletes over 40-years-old?

If you answered “Yes” to any (or all!) of the above, then let’s chat!

Why Did I Create the Everyday Athlete Program?

The Everyday Athlete program is one that I’ve wanted to create for a while now.

For my entire life, I’ve always considered myself an athlete.

And when my formal athletic career ended, I competed in powerlifting for numerous years to help scratch that competitive itch.

Now, I’m in charge of training some of the most elite athletes in the planet.

And let me tell you, there’s nothing more humbling than standing next to a professional soccer, basketball or football player!

It’s always been my goal to not only look the part, but to also move like as an athlete as well.

After all, if I want my athletes to perform a lift, or learn how to sprint or jump, then I feel I should be able to demonstrate those movements with sound technique and precision.

But after focusing on strictly “lifting” for many years, I realized that I was moving more and more like a lifter.

While I was still mobile, I couldn't move the way I wanted to.

I'd lost power and explsoiveness.

And I just didn't feel like an athlete any more!

So over the past couple of years, I’ve gone back to the lab and worked on a program that would not only help me move and feel like an athlete, but that would allow me to feel great and do basically anything athletic that I wanted.

Custom Made for "Older" Athletes

Just because you're over 40 doesn't mean you're washed up! This program is specifically geared to those who have a little extra mileage, but still want to train and feel athletic. If you're a weekend warrior, someone who wants to feel more athletic, or just wants to be more active with your kids, then I know you're going to love this program!

Smooth Progressions to Keep You Safe

This program is designed to start off slow and lay a solid foundation. Even if you haven't been training like an athlete, we'll build you up slow and steady to make sure your body is ready for each and every phase of training. The goal is to be fit, strong and athletic WITHOUT getting beat up or hurt along the way.

Expert Coaching and Cuing

Even though the program is delivered online, my goal is to make it feel like you're working with me live and in-person. To do that you'll not only get video demos of all the exercises, but I'll also provide the EXACT coaching cues I would give if you were in my gym. This way you'll know exactly how to do every exercise in the program!

Alternative Exercises When Needed

If you came to IFAST and worked with me, we'd have every piece of equipment under the sun. But what if you don't have everything in YOUR gym? For almost every exercise I've provided an alternative exercise or implement you can use instead. It may not always be an exact match but this way you'll still be able to follow the program to the best of your ability!

Lifetime Access

When you purchase my Everyday Athlete workouts, you'll have LIFETIME ACCESS to the program. I can't tell you how many people I've coached over the years who fall in love with one of my programs, and then end up using it every year because they love how they feel after doing it. So buy it once and then use it as many times as you like!
