There is time for play. Unless you’re the Grinch and have lost your way.

No excuses. Play like a champion
— Rule 76

Return to play

Most fitness content shows people lifting huge weights, flexing abs, or doing superhuman feats in the gym. But fitness isn’t just about aesthetics or discipline—it can be about joy.

You're meant to move—not just to look a certain way, but to live fully. To play.

When was the last time you played? Not exercised. Played. Ran through the yard, played tag with your kids, tried a new sport just for the fun of it?

As adults, we often forget that movement used to be fun. It wasn’t punishment—it was exploration, competition, laughter, and connection.

I haven’t forgotten that. I still want to play every day. And I want to help others reconnect with the joy of movement—through play, not just performance.

Because here's the truth: You don’t need a six-pack to chase your kids around the yard, hit the golf ball straighter, or feel confident trying something new. You just need to start moving again—with curiosity, freedom, and joy.

If that sounds like the kind of fitness that fits your life, then let’s play again—on purpose.

You don't always need to be at the gym to be healthy. Playing should become an option for a healthy lifestyle. Can we have a healthy state of both body and mind through the act of play? I challenge you to try it.

When I decided to be an online coach, I thought long and hard about how I wanted to teach you to be healthy. As I sat around and thought about all the things I had accomplished physically, some of the most fun things I have done in my life have been at Play Times. Now, as an adult, I have time for play. When I was trying to think of my logo and brand, I thought about how I wanted to project myself as being the coach or Trainer for you, and so I was watching Wedding Crashers, and in the earlier scenes, they mentioned Rule 76. “No excuses. Play like a champion”. And I thought that was perfect. I want no excuses. I want to “PLAY” like a champion.

 

Adults want to need to play!

We watch our kids play sports and live out the joy we used to feel, while we sit on the sidelines, talking about the glory days. That’s not how it should be. You shouldn’t just watch—you should be out there playing too.

Kids don’t care how they look when they’re having fun. They scream, laugh, fall down, and get back up. That’s what play is supposed to feel like. I’ve had some of my happiest moments golfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and playing tennis—not worrying about how I looked, just fully in it. You deserve those moments of freedom again.

Now, I get it—you’re probably thinking, “I’ll get hurt.” I hear that all the time. But that’s why I train. Not to look good, but so I can take a fall, keep moving, and keep playing. You don’t have to go big—you just have to start. Your body can be ready again. It just needs a little time, and the right kind of training.

You grow old when you don’t play.

Most fitness programs are focused on 30, 60, or 90-day transformations—quick fixes that might look good on the outside but often miss what really matters. I believe in something different. I believe in the 90-year program—a long-term approach to strength, health, and the ability to enjoy life fully. The gym isn’t just a place to chase aesthetics; it’s where we prepare for real life—yard work, chasing your kids, playing sports, and staying capable for decades to come.

You can’t just jump back into playing like you did as a kid. It takes time for your body to adapt, move freely, and stay injury-free. That’s where my program comes in. It covers all the key elements—strength, endurance, flexibility, cardio, and mobility—so you’re not just training one piece of the puzzle. You’re building a well-rounded, resilient body that’s ready for whatever life throws at you.

You’ll see me out doing yard work, skateboarding, or snowboarding—not chasing perfect lighting in the gym or flexing abs. I'm not training for looks—I'm training for life. I want to move well into my 80s and 90s, and I want to help others do the same. The goal isn’t to look like a superhero—it’s to move, play, and live like someone who’s in control of their body and their joy.

Most adults forget how to play. Life gets busy, and fun gets pushed aside. But even a little bit of play—once a week, twice a week—can completely change how you feel. This isn’t just a workout plan. It’s a mindset shift. If you miss laughing, moving freely, and feeling like a kid again, this is your invitation to return to play. Let’s build something that lasts.
