A movement screen and blood work before anything starts. Both again at week twenty. Forty coached sessions and a number for everything in between. $5,000 — and I'll tell you that before you call.
Most training is sold by the hour, which means the only thing you're really buying is supervision. You show up, someone counts, you go home — and six months later nobody can tell you whether any of it worked.
The Forty is built the other way round. We take a full baseline first — how you move, what your numbers are, what your blood says — and then four systems run in parallel for twenty weeks. At the end we measure all of it again. The sessions are how the work gets delivered. They aren't the product.
That ratio is why programs fail. Whatever happens in the other hundred and sixty-six hours is what actually decides your result — so the program has to reach into them.
Twice a week in the same two slots, so it becomes a fixture rather than a decision.
Three meals and a snack, built out of food you already eat and already like.
Exactly three things on the days I don't see you. Three, not thirty.
A weekly check-in you send and I answer personally — plus the two big retests.
75 minutes. Your history, a full movement screen, ten baseline numbers. You leave with written findings whether or not you sign up.
Mostly sitting down. We build your food, lock your two weekly slots, set your homework numbers, and order your lab panel.
We fix what the screen found before we load it. One nutrition rule. Your labs come back and we go through them together.
Full re-screen against Week 0. If something isn't moving, this is where we find out and change it — not at the end.
We train toward the specific thing you told me you wanted back. Nutrition is maintenance now, not change.
Second movement screen, second blood panel, every measure from day one next to today's. Then we decide what's next — or whether you need it.
There's no point measuring things that won't change in twenty weeks. Everything here responds to training and food, and every one of them means something concrete to a person over 45.
Waist is the better of the two. It tracks what's actually changing when the scale is being noisy.
Quietly one of the best signals that your conditioning is improving.
How many times you can stand from a chair in thirty seconds. Predicts independence better than almost anything.
Seconds on each leg. Under ten is a genuine falls risk — and it's very trainable.
One of the most-studied markers of how well you're aging. Takes fifteen seconds to measure.
Floor, incline or wall — whatever's honest for where you are today.
Two mobility measures that show up in real life constantly and improve fast.
Whatever you said you wanted back. Carry the bag nine holes. Get off the floor without hands. We score it on day one and again at week twenty. This is the one that matters most.
Without it, the only thing we can measure is the scale — and the scale is the least interesting number about you. Blood sugar, fasting insulin, triglycerides, inflammation, vitamin D: all respond to exactly what we're about to do, and twenty weeks is long enough to see it happen.
In your own name, through a direct-to-consumer lab. Roughly $70–150, physician order included.
They go to you, not to me. I coordinate the timing and build the program around what comes back.
I'm a trainer, not a doctor, and I'll never pretend otherwise.
Immediately, and I'll say so plainly. That's not a caveat — it's how this should work.
Meal plans fail because they ask you to eat food you don't like, buy groceries you've never bought, and cook things you don't cook. Nobody is still doing that at week sixteen.
So we do the opposite. Three meals and a snack is four slots a day. In your first session we go through what you actually ate over the last three days — not what you think you should have — and fill each slot with three options drawn from food you already eat. Twelve items you rotate. Usually about half of what you're already doing turns out to be fine, and hearing that is most of why people stick with it.
Then one rule per phase, never a list. The first one is almost always getting enough protein at breakfast, because that's where nearly everyone over 45 is short.
Every other trainer in this valley makes you call to find out. Here it is.
40 sessions · 20 weeks · $125 per session
The Twenty · 20 sessions · 10 weeks · $135 per session
Paid in full, or four monthly payments of $1,325. The lab panel is separate — roughly $70–150, ordered in your name and paid directly. No meal plans. No supplements to buy. No contract that rolls over.
Seventy-five minutes, free, no obligation. You'll leave knowing more about how your body is actually working than you did walking in — whether or not you ever train with me. Mid-morning slots open Tuesday through Friday.
