About Fred

I started Newfound Health & Fitness for two reasons.

The first is simple. I want to help people. After decades as a real estate appraiser I'm ready for a change — and the thing I've always come back to, the thing that has been a constant thread through my entire adult life, is health, fitness, and what it means to actually take care of yourself.

The second reason is harder to explain. But I'll try.

I look at the world right now and I get discouraged. Not in a hopeless way — in a way that makes me want to do something about it. And the more I think about it, the more I believe that all the good in the world starts with one thing: owning yourself. Your health. Your habits. Your choices. Your life.

A few months ago I heard a quote that stopped me cold.

"Every man lives two lives. The second begins when he realizes he only has one."

I'm turning 61 in a week. And when I heard those words something shifted. If not now, when?

I feel okay. But I know I could feel great. And there's a difference between those two things that most men my age have stopped believing in.

I love working out with my wife. I've found all my new aches and pains — the arthritic toe, the cranky shoulder, the lower back that has opinions about everything. I'm not starting from zero. I'm starting from real life. And I've learned that being flexible — in your body and in your thinking — is the only way forward.

I want to be a better man. Not just stronger. Better. I want to listen more than I talk. I want to be the giver and not the taker. I want to set a better example for my kids. I want to love and laugh more with the people I love. I want to break the cycle of the scroll and actually live.

Mind. Body. Life. All moving in the same direction.

I know what to do. Now it's time to do it. "That's what Imperfect Consistency means. Show up. Do something. Repeat." And I'm not doing it alone — I'm building this system alongside the men who find their way here.

That's what The Newfound Man is. Not a program with a countdown. A system for the rest of your life.

If any of this sounds familiar — if you feel okay but know you could feel great — you're in the right place.

I'm glad you're here.
