The Strength Foundation and Mobility programs inside the app are the fix. Guided workouts with full exercise videos, PR tracking, weekly progress. And in the Learn tab, full courses from the coaches who taught me, starting with Augusto Frega's Ground Mobility course, 11 lessons. WHO IT'S FOR You want to be nimble 30 years from now. You've got a gym habit and a rigid body that feels older than you are. You want to still be doing cool stuff at 60. And at 90. I'm Joe Lemay. I sat at a desk all day and when I hit they gym, I lifted barbells and fitness on machines. I was stiff by 45. I was tired of seeing my movement vocabulary shrink and hearing guys my age say, "We're just getting older now, accept it." I hired a team of strength and movement coaches, learned and trained over the last 5 years. Now I do things that surprise 25-year-olds. This app is how I train to get strong and move like a kid again. All movement puzzles are free for everyone in the app. And we're adding more every week.
