The Second Act

Helping you take control of your
own health and fitness.

It’s a mess out there, isn’t it? With fad diets, hard-to-follow nutrition information, and a flashy new app every week, the fitness world can be a confusing place. Is it any wonder that most people have a hard time getting (and staying) in shape?

We’re aiming to fix that by giving control back to the people who are ready to make a change…and who want something more than just another stupid diet.

    • Make changes to your body by learning what “good nutrition” really means for you.
    • Discover the only information you need to lose fat, gain muscle, and improve your health.
    • Backed by science and research with real people; not by fads.

If your health and fitness routine has taken a back seat the past few months… or past few years… you’re not alone. And we can help.

Our practice-based approach teaches you how to build healthy habits into your life one day at a time, so you can make sustainable changes to the way you look, feel, and perform—putting you in control of your future.

Patti Maedke (57)

Participant of Level 1: Nutrition Rx + Exercise Rx

My initial goal was to lose weight and tone my body. I’ve lost weight (currently over 10 pounds, going from a size 10 to a 6), and structured exercise has proven to transform my body. This is very rewarding!

I also have a kidney issue I’ve been dealing with and my numbers have significantly improved! I was told it had a lot to do with my nutrition… this is huge!

Feeling good about yourself is important, and having the information and tools, along with positive reinforcement, is helping me to accomplish my goals, see remarkable changes in my body, and be the best “me” I can be! Thank you James!!
