Life is activity, and when we stop being active we turn away from the newness of life.

- Ernest Holmes

"I'm passionate about fitness and health.  But my ultimate passion is inspiring the greatness in YOU! I want you to live your "second half” feeling good, healthy, confident and engaged.”​

​​

I want to convince you that you have the power to age on your own terms.  Conventional wisdom that's hyper-focused on youth wants you to believe otherwise. That being young is all that matters...that there is no cause for celebration as one gets older. SECONDHALF flips the script and puts adults 50 and older front and center! Without a doubt, there is still so much more to accomplish, more to realize, more to gain and more to give!

 

At SECONDHALF, we get there with a dogged focus on improving your physical fitness and health.

 

One of the most important tenets of successful aging is your physical health.  The saying "health is wealth" couldn't be anymore true than it is at this time in your life.  I know that making strategic fitness & wellness choices, and staying committed to those choices, will help you to enjoy a remarkably high quality of living. 

​

SECONDHALF will empower you with science based skills you need to get energized, feel great, stay healthy and live purposefully.  SECONDHALF is a lifestyle.  Get prepared to embrace an adventurous life supported by sound health, increased physical strength and mental aquity.  

​

I always say that the "second half is the best half"...but only if you choose it.  SECONDHALF is excited to guide you in this choice. No matter your age, get started living life to the fullest!
