Our Functional 40 fitness plan is a goal-driven program. We take into account your medical, injury and physical fitness history, your current lifestyle, your present level of fitness and type of activities, your nutritional habits and more. This information along with your goals, interests and needs, allows us to create the most goal-oriented designed program that will make it easier for you to follow and achieve results.
We don't quick playing because we get old, we get old because we quit playing.
We are getting older. Period. There is nothing we can do to stop that, but we do have a choice in how we grow older. Once we are over 40, getting and staying fit becomes our way for controlling aging and reducing the effects of time on our bodies - and we will show you how to do just that.

Your Road Map To Success
Over the years we have learned that setting goals that are physiologically realistic and within a designated time frame are the best ways for you to stay committed to any health, nutrition or fitness program for lasting change.
First, from a physiological standpoint, our bodies take time to adapt to change. Whether it’s trying to gain muscle, lose fat, or run a 5k, it takes time. Realistically, it takes 6-8 weeks to see noticeable and measurable results.
Second, there is nothing like a hard deadline or goal if you need the fastest results in the minimum amount of time. Whether it's a birthday, reunion, vacation, wedding or whatever, this is the program for you!
Last, and honestly most importantly, it is about commitment. The commitment you made to yourself when you decided to trust us with your health, nutrition and fitness goals. This commitment is what tells us that you are ready and willing to make the commitment to your health and fitness. Not only for 4 weeks, 8 weeks, but for life.
Putting Your Program Into 5th Gear
Your workout & nutrition programming should focus on making small, manageable changes in your lifestyle over the course of weeks, months and even longer. It's a long-term habit-based program focused on not only monthly progress, but life long results.
But there are times when it's ok to crank up your focus for faster results. This is where we have to accelerate our healthy habits and in turn, your progress. It’s for when you want to make your body transformation and even health, a top priority in your life over a shorter amount of time and kick ass with your workouts and diet.
As we start to crank up the workout intensity in your program, we are also going to crank up the nutrition intensity! But wait, hang on for a second… we are not actually going to do anything different than we do in your normal nutrition programming.
When we have months or years to build our habits, we gradually work on them all over time adding 1-2 habits at a time. But for the next several weeks though, you are going to sharpen your focus like a laser beam and compress them all into our Rules For Success.
Because this is a 4-week-at-time program, we don't have that kind of time, so we follow all the rules at once. They are simple, not necessarily easy, (I hope you don't expect easy for maximum results in 8 weeks), but these are fail proof steps (yes fail-proof!) to help you reach your goal and for life-long success!
