The last two days with my marketing team and videographer were incredible. My team came from Northern Minnesota and Philadelphia to capture the great stuff we do here. We created a ton of content that’s going to teach you all so much and give you real tools to improve your health, movement, and quality of life.

If you’ve been thinking about working with me or joining the app, now’s a great time to jump in. We’re doing some amazing things here at Matter Health Associates, and I’m incredibly grateful to be surrounded by people who know how to capture, market, and package what makes this place unique.

There’s a lot of special work happening here, and I’m excited to share even more of it with all of you.

It’s still amazing to me the things Elaine can do now. Just the fact that she can comfortably get to the ground and hold herself up is incredible when you know where she started.

That’s why I believe so deeply in strength training, nutrition, and genuinely trying to improve people’s lives. Elaine is proof that age doesn’t define your potential, and it truly doesn’t matter where you begin. What matters is being willing to start and continuing to show up.

People underestimate how life-changing simple strength can be. Being able to move better, support yourself, get up off the floor, feel stable, feel capable — those things restore confidence and independence. That’s real quality of life.

Watching someone gain abilities they never thought they’d have is honestly one of the most rewarding parts of this work.

If there’s one person I’ve been incredibly excited to watch transform, it’s Joanne.

The only regret I have is that her original email inquiry slipped through the cracks because yours truly used to be terrible at checking emails, and we probably lost a whole year we could’ve been working together. But everything happens the way it’s supposed to, and once Joanne started, she never looked back.

She’s now down 70 pounds, but honestly, that number doesn’t even come close to representing the real transformation she’s made. The biggest change has been her health, her confidence, and the way she carries herself now.

You would never believe Joanne is 60 years old. Recently she’s really started tapping back into her gymnastics background, gaining confidence in herself and in the process, and it’s been inspiring to witness.

What makes this even more special is the kind of person she is. Joanne is one of the most selfless, genuine people you’ll ever meet, and those are always my favorite people to help. She trusted me completely, believed in the process, put in the effort, and embraced every step along the way.

She truly understands what I teach and why I teach it, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better advocate for this style of training and lifestyle.

So today I’m celebrating Joanne because she has absolutely blown me away from where she started to where she is now.

My hat’s off to you, Joanne. You are living proof that fitness can completely change your life, no matter your age.

Also, she’s awesome because we listen to Hairnation

I’ve got to give props to my longest-running client, Hillary. Tomorrow marks 14 years since we started this journey together.
Truthfully, I probably wouldn’t be established where I am today without her.
Early in my career, I found success with the UFC, traveling all over the world and building something outside the community I grew up in. But deep down, I always wanted to create real change back home. At the same time, I carried this belief that people where I’m from just wouldn’t change.
Hillary challenged that belief completely.
Because of her consistency, trust, and willingness to evolve, I got to witness firsthand what long-term commitment to health can truly do. And now, being established in the area where I grew up has become the most meaningful part of my legacy. Taking a community you love — flaws and all — and helping shift its mindset for the better is the highest level of success to me.
The list of changes Hillary has made is endless. Over these 14 years, we’ve been through every challenge imaginable. But her greatest strength has stayed the same since day one:
She showed up.
Even when it was hard.�Even when frustration crept in.�Even when that voice in your head tells you to quit like it does to all of us.
She kept showing up.
Through this process, she improved her Hashimoto’s and thyroid health, corrected severe structural imbalances in her posture and back, eliminated most of her chronic pain, changed the way she walks and moves, transformed her complexion and energy levels, and lost 65 pounds — which honestly became one of the least important parts of her journey.
Because her transformation was never just about weight loss.
She truly embodies what I preach about healthy living:�Strength.�Flexibility.�Movement.�Energy.�Longevity.�Confidence.�The ability to work harder, live fuller, and expand your life because your body finally supports you instead of fighting against you.
So many people in my hometown followed the example she set. And because of that, I owe her more than she probably realizes.
What’s amazing is that after all these years, we’re still learning. Still evolving. Still finding new levels to this process.
And it never gets old to me.
We’re going to keep doing this until one of us tips over someday. That’s the level of commitment and belief we’ve built together.
Here’s to 14 years — and many more chapters ahead.

I’d like to give my buddy Brady a shoutout. Brady’s been coming in over the years with his mother Annie and his sister, and one thing I’ve always believed with kids is that you plant the seed early. You never want to push anything extreme, but you do want them to understand the importance of exercise, health, and confidence.

One of the biggest things in life is finding your identity. It took Brady a little time to fully grasp the concept of exercise. He knew it was important, but like a lot of people, finding the confidence and purpose behind it is always the hardest part. It doesn’t matter what your situation is — everybody has their own hurdles.

When Brady told me one day that he wanted to play hockey, I thought that was incredibly courageous. Considering some of the limitations he has with movement, he knew it was going to be hard. He had to work extra hard. But the moment he found a reason and identity behind training, he absolutely took off.

I honestly cannot say enough about this kid’s determination and grit. Every single week he shows up. Even if his mom can’t come, Brady still wants to be here. He wants to work hard. He wants to improve. He wants to feel himself getting better.

At 13 years old, watching his confidence grow and seeing his progress has been one of the most gratifying things I’ve witnessed.

If your child needs confidence, structure, or just a healthier relationship with fitness and wellness, this is exactly why I believe exercise should be taught differently. This should be the real version of gym class — helping kids discover personal health, confidence, and purpose early in life.

I get a kick out of people who think I got soft over the years. Just because I got more intelligent doesn’t mean I’m not still as hard as ever.

When Owen came to me with an interest in bodybuilding, it honestly fired me up. I haven’t trained a guy for bodybuilding in years, and the second I entertained stepping back into that world, people started reaching out wanting to do it again. That’s exciting to me because bodybuilding has always been my sport. It’s a whole different level of discipline, intensity, and intelligence. It’s probably my true niche.

People ask me all the time what makes me different, and the answer is simple: I truly know how to build the physique people dream about having. That’s always been one of my greatest strengths and it always will be.

Bodybuilding isn’t just lifting weights. There’s a different level of detail, focus, and aggression involved. To get big and strong, you still have to move serious weight. You have to be technical, but there also has to be intensity. Adrenaline. Focus. There’s nothing comparable to grabbing 100-pound dumbbells and throwing them around with purpose. That feeling of being alive never leaves you.

Good job, Owen. Love seeing that intensity come out.

And for anyone wondering what kind of people I work with — I do it all. Top UFC fighters, bodybuilders, kids, older adults, people in their 90s, housewives, business owners, working-class men and women trying to better themselves. Doesn’t matter who you are. If you want to improve, I’m all in.
