👋 hi! I’m Joe! From Lynnfield Massachusetts originally, but Washington DC has been my home for 32 years now. My Uncle Frank was a gym teacher and taught me how to lift weights when I was a teenager, so I’ve worked out almost 50 years. Favorite dessert probably some kind of coconut crème cake, with a pistachio chocolate gelato scoop on the side. Yum.

DAYYY 10!! 🔥 Went all out and completed 64 push-ups myself 🥵 Big congrats to everyone who made it through the challenge - 10 days of showing up, stacking wins, and building discipline 💪 Proud of everyone who stuck with it - let’s finish strong and keep the momentum going 🚀

Give it up for @Kyle Schmidt 👏 1 month into the program… 15lbs down!! Started at 336 and already down to 321. That didn’t happen by accident. He stayed consistent, navigated Easter weekend without falling off, allowed some flexibility, and kept showing up. This is what it looks like when you commit and follow through. Progress won’t always be this fast, but this first month is proof of what’s possible when you lock in. 🔥

Good morning ☀️ Day 2 is here, and after taking my daughter to school, I’m planning to get in some intentional movement - going for a walk right now to get some morning sunlight and working out with a friend this evening at the gym 💪 It’s always good to find simple ways to move on purpose in day-to-day life - whether that’s walking to the grocery store, taking your pets for a walk, taking the stairs, parking a little farther away, or just making a little extra time to move 🚶‍♂️ What are you planning to do for your intentional movement today? 👇

Today mark a big milestone for me. When I started to workout with Mike, I wasn’t in an healthy period in my life. I was taking two blood pressure pills everyday, I was doing heart condition tests. In January 2025 I decided that I wanted to change my life, my work consisted to be always on the road, having events all the time so drinking wine everyday and it became an habit. I decided to go sober completely for an entire 8 months because I wanted to focus to be the best version on myself and I was starting to enjoy that feeling of being effective and energetic all the time. Training and being healthy became a priority. I gave myself 6 months to lose 20 pounds, which was short. I had already lost 5 pounds before working with Mike. Life is crazy, work became more and more intense but I did not gave up and doing the best that I can considering all my obligations with traveling. Mike stayed available all the time and decided to keep working with me. Today I’ve reach my goal that we had set when we met, not as fast as I wanted but I did it. Meal prep, working out and also Mike taught me not to be obsessive and enjoying life is ok. So I’m being vulnerable with that post and wanted to show the before and after pic. Officially down 25 pounds since December 2024. I feel that I am more than that because I wear clothes that I was able to wear when I was lighter than 185. I feel good, confident, proud and bless to have found a community that I can share those milestones. Here are my before and after (got hair also I had an hair transplant in turkey 😂) Thank you Mike !!! (Sorry for the mistakes, I’m French so writing in English is not my main language)
