“I have discovered a level of energy and confidence that I did not have before. This has translated into both personal and career milestones being accomplished.”

“A busy mom of 3 boys, my excuse has always been that I didn’t have time. “The best thing I’ve ever done for myself as a mother and a wife was to make the decision to contact Darrin.”

I used to spend 6 hours a week at the gym following the lead of everyone else doing all the wrong things. Now I spend less than half that time there and actually see results and absolutely couldn’t have done it alone.

Two things though I would never say: I love working out and I’m happy with my body! It’s been, and continues to be, an incredible experience and can’t thank the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle family enough.”

“The exercise routine and meal plan were easy to follow; this is life altering experience and I plan to maintain it FOREVER!”

“Less than one year later I am literally a new woman, I am not only referring to my physical appearance but also my attitude, my confidence and my overall health. Everyone who knows me is asking me how I have made this happen? They seem incredulous when I say I am only working out 3 hours a week and eating regular food. 

They are astounded when they see the changes in my mobility, fitness and attitude! I am determined and know I will be living the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle for the rest of my life.

“Without the FO40L and the support of Darrin and the community I would still be struggling in my old ways and a lot heavier than I am today. Thank you!”

“I had wanted to get in shape for years but I had all the excuses. I was almost 50 and did not like how I looked or felt. I stepped on the scale one day and it read 267lbs so I knew I had to get serious.

“After 7 months I lost 55lbs and my body fat went from 30% to 13% and my waist went from 42” to 34”. I feel like a new person and wish I would have done this years ago.”

In the past I spent a lot of money on fancy cars, trips and toys. Nothing compares to the value and enjoyment received from my time with Darrin. It works and I‘m never going back to the way I was because I’ve learned how to eat and live a different way.  It’s actually easy once you know how.

Darrin and his community are awesome. He is a true mentor. Thanks”

“I came to Darrin to take me to a new level of fitness and change the way my body looked. After working out my own for several years I felt I needed a change to achieve higher fitness goals.

I never realized how important a proper, I mean proper, diet is to achieving such goals. Darrin’s customized nutrition plan coupled with a continuous workout regime resulted in a transformation beyond my expectations. Thanks Darrin!”

“I feel like screaming from the mountain top that I know the answer to the question of how you achieve the body/health you want – it is to contact Darrin!”

“I have tried so many “diets” in the past and always put the weight back on. Living the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle I have lost 70 lbs of fat with ease and I am not finished yet!”

“Dieting and working out over the past few years has been an extremely trying experience. I was never satisfied with my result. Since making the transition with Darrin I have complete confidence in his professionalism and knowledge. I am totally convinced you can not do it alone!”

“I’d been working out since my late teens but had been seriously plateaued for years. While I had the desire and discipline, I lacked the knowledge and proper guidance on sports nutrition that I needed to achieve the personal goal I set myself (sub 8% body fat and 5-10 lb gain in lean mass)

Right from the start the entire process was centered around me and my goals. After 3.5 months I reached my goal (7.3% body fat and 8 lbs gain in lean mass) a goal I never, never would have been able to achieve on my own without D. At 42, I’m in better physical shape now than I have ever been – EVER!”

“Before meeting Darrin, diet and exercise had allowed me to change my appearance but I was not seeing the results that I wanted. When I began the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle I was able to take my physique to the level I thought was reserved only for people in magazines.

“I know that if can go from clinically obese to 5% body fat then anyone is able to begin their life altering journey!”

“I was a fitness instructor in a gym and worked out on a regular basis and I followed a healthy diet. Despite my fitness knowledge and the many hours I would weight train and participate in fitness classes I never achieved the body image I always wanted.

I was visiting friends of the family in the summer and saw their son and couldn’t get over the shape he was in. I had seen him several months earlier and he looked nothing like this! I asked what he had done to make such a dramatic change in such a short time and he told me about his experience with Darrin. I contacted Darrin that same day!

The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle was easy to follow and in six months my body changed dramatically and so did my amount of clients! Thanks to Darrin! I finally feel like the real me and I know what to do to maintain my results for the rest of my life!!”

It’s a dedicated fitness professional that has helped guide me through my quest for a new beginning and has given me the tools to continue with ease in pursuit of health and physical fitness.

“Although I was playing competitive squash 4 to 5 times a week, I could not control my weight. I would get a little bit heavier as each year went by, heavier and slower.  In 30 years I had grown from 165lbs to 216lbs. I didn’t know what else to do besides play squash.  I was already using the treadmill and doing road work and I felt I could not workout any harder. I needed help.

I was intrigued by the “Lifestyle” approach that Darrin was suggesting. I had never done any weight training before. The Idea of combining that with a change in how and what I ate looked like a fresh start to me. 

My Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle Package was a 60th birthday present to myself.  It turned out to be much more than just a workout. The information provided on nutrition, the support given to me by the online community, the weight training theory explained to me, have all helped change my body. I am amazed that three workouts a week and change in eating habits could have such a profound effect.

Losing 42lbs has changed my life.  I feel better, stronger, faster  and in control. I should have done this 20 years ago, but better late than never!”

“I have exercised my whole life and was tired of working out and not reaching my goals so when I heard of The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle I thought I’d check it out to see if it was really what they claimed to be. 

From the minute of the first meeting I was impressed with the program — Darrin was honest and up-front on the commitment I needed to make to reach my goals and in exchange the commitment Darrin would make to me in reaching those goals. The other thing that impressed me was that Darrin ‘walked the talk’ — He is always in awesome shape and he does exactly what he teaches clients to do. 

I have been in a few gyms and would not even consider paying some of the so-called personal trainers to train me as it is evident that they are not committed to their own fitness goals. I was set up for success from day one — Darrin ensured that I understood the importance of my diet and gave me valuable information on how to ensure I could maintain the eating plan while traveling — which in my work is extensive. 

My workouts were hard but so empowering — You are pushed to you to your limits because he believes in you, your commitment and the goals you have set for yourself. 

I just wish that I had heard about the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle earlier as it has truly changed how I look and feel. I have always wanted to be my best — however, I was convinced that running would give me the body I wanted — I am so glad that I invested and believed in myself and Darrin to transform to what I believe is my best body ever!! 

I have gone from a size 10 to a size 2 (17% body fat!) in 5 short months — and my journey was truly inspiring. I can’t thank Darrin enough — it was truly a privilege to learn from him and he provided me with knowledge to maintain my Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle for life.”

“Last fall, I was searching for a total fitness solution which would include nutrition and exercise. I had been doing my own thing for a few years but was not getting any results and I was getting very frustrated. I met up with a friend whom I hadn’t seen in a few months and immediately noticed a difference in her body shape. She told me about the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle and I immediately reached out to Darrin.

I have a busy schedule with two children and a busy career which requires me to travel. The Emerge program was perfect for me as I could always seem to fit in the 50 minute workouts three times a week. The FO40L community is always there to help anytime of the day.

My body has never been this toned even as a teenager! The nutrition program gives me the energy I need to keep up with my busy life and still feel great.  I still can’t believe the results I have achieved and I continue to follow the program today!”

“The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle is not just a diet it is a lifestyle change that works! I tried many different diets that worked, I lost pounds but I did not see the visual results I wanted. Darrin helped my husband and I learn appropriate food choices and meal sizes based on our individual bodies. With just working out three days a week we saw quick results. 

I actually enjoy working out for the first time and it has become a part of my life. Darrin will teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle and see fabulous results. You will look and feel great!”

“I always had an image in my mind of how I wanted to look and feet.Emerge helped me accomplish that image above and beyond anything I ever expected.Emerge truly is all about changing the way you look and feel and I have never looked of felt better about myself then I do right now!”

“I always had an image in my mind of how I wanted to look and feel and the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle helped me accomplish that image above and beyond anything I ever expected. This lifestyle truly is all about changing the way you look and feel and I have never looked or felt better about myself then I do right now!”

“This past year has been such a wonderful experience, I am ever grateful to be part of FO40L family. As I look back I know Darrin’s knowledge, patience and experience have helped me step out of my comfort zone and to be successful!”

“The last few years I had been traveling and working extensively, developed poor eating habits and I gained substantial weight. In the last year, I have discovered a new level of energy through a consistent workout routine and proper diet made easy and motivated by the online community. 

The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle way has now become part of my lifestyle and I am in the best shape of my life, I feel and look like a new person. Thanks Darrin!”

“It’s been 3 months since I saw the post from Darrin and had my consultation and I am hooked! I have learned so much about the correct way to workout and eat. Nothing else has worked as well as the lifestyle change I have made with the help of the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle. I have finally found the correct way to look and feel great, thanks Darrin!”

“My experience with the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle has been more about what I have gained than the weight and body fat that I have lost. I have gained a new body but along with it I have also gained the knowledge of how to make healthy choices and how to exercise to benefit my overall well-being. I have achieved what I did not imagine possible: ultimately, it feels like my true self has finally ‘emerged’ “

“Over the years I’ve tried several different diet plans with limited success. Eventually every diet attempt ended with a slow weight gain back to where I started, these diets did not teach me how to maintain my goal weight. Then I hear about a trainer that addressed the whole package, my LIFESTYLE.

One of the things that impressed me the most about Darrin was that he could relate to every frustration I have experienced. Darrin not only teaches a new lifestyle he also lives it. I feel like I have finally found the missing link, a lifestyle that teaches me how l get to where I want to be and how to maintain it for life. 

The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle provides me with a complete support system. Words are not enough to express the gratitude I have. Darrin you have helped me more than you know!”

“After undergoing major knee surgery two years ago, my level of fitness dropped significantly. I developed poor eating habits and an overall lack of motivation. Darrin gave me the tools to get me back on track. 

I learned a whole new lifestyle of fitness and nutrition which has given me renewed confidence, motivation and determination. This experience made me focus on personal goals..being physically fit and mentally stronger. It truly has been a life changing”

“I had lost and regained weight before, but this time I was ready for a lifestyle change and that’s exactly what Darrin promised. Gone were the days of “wishing” how I wanted to look….8 months later and I’ve never been happier.  

Thanks to Darrin, my transformation both physically and mentally have been personally rewarding and today I am able to live my new ‘lifestyle’ with ease. Contact Darrin today and start working on your own success story. I’m glad I did!”

“Ten years ago I joined a well known “weight loss” program. I was able to lose 60lbs in 3 months but t was so afraid to gain back the weight would cut myself from food. Ten years of this behaviour had put a toll on my body. Yes, I was successful in losing the “weight” but I never lost the body fat I wanted.

If I had a bit of extra food I would gain weight which is how my fear for food became part of my normal daily life.  However, I truly thought I was in the best shape of my life and I believed I was healthy. 

Darrin changed my life, he educated me on food and that food is my friend not to fear foods. In my first week on the program I spoke with another client who said something that really hit home. “You have to look at the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle as if you’re going back to school, you are here to re-learn how to eat.” This was such a powerful message, “I have to re-learn how to eat.”

When my before picture was taken I really thought I was in great shape. Four months later Darrin asks for some progress pictures. Darrin does a side by side with my before picture and present one and I looked at them and thought “was that me?”  I looked so skinny and sickly, I was totally taken aback. I’m so proud of my results, in just four months I transformed my body.”

“I have always been active in sports but now I can continue to compete at a level well above where I was before, easily keeping up with athletes half my age! I am also a good role for my kids, they now understand the importance of being active, working out and healthy eating”

“A few years ago I was injured which left me with a problem with my sciatica. I had to put my training and Figure Competitions on hold and took almost one year off. That was when I began to gain weight and lose muscle. I had no motivation to go back to the gym. On top of that, I was still having to struggle with horrible back pain. 

When I decided to go back to the gym it was hard because of the weight that I gained and the muscles lost. Not training for so long I felt that I needed something to motivate me to get back on track and to prevent further injury. I decided to talk with Darrin and told him I also wanted to compete again. I was thrilled because I finally had a goal set and was ready to challenge myself and my body to get to the next level. 

With Darrin’s help I was able to achieve my goal in only 5 months! The best way to achieve your goals is not to get discouraged, it is to surround yourself with knowledgeable people that will help you and are there to support you.This is what the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle community is all about!”

“As a type I diabetic since 2000, I figured I already had a “good” diet and 4 to 5 trips to the YMCA per week were keeping me in relatively good shape. On how wrong those assumptions turned out to be!! Before the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle I would inject 10 to 12 units of insulin at breakfast, another 5 at 11 am snack time and 12 to 15 at lunch. By the end of the day, I’d shot a total of 40 to 50 units of the stuff! On Darrin’s meal plan usage is 19 to 20 units everyday. No more,no less. HALF THE INTAKE! He corrected all of the bad habits I’d picked up as a self taught workout accident waiting to happen back in the “Y” days. 

I would simply observe the people at the Y doing their workouts and copy them. I’ve injured more muscles doing things incorrectly than I care to mention. With careful meal planning and proper workouts the results were almost immediate and now I was free 4 or 5 more hours a week compared to before. 

I was on the road to achieving the best physic I have ever had. And all this at 42 years old! I now have a six pack and the physic of a professional athlete. It’s taken lots of hard work and discipline, but the results have been incredible. NO CARDIO and NO CRUNCHES or SIT UPS.

In summary; I’m in the best shape ever and people compliment me on that every week. I require half the insulin, spend half the time at the gym and feel amazing. My energy levels are up and the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle has become a way of life for me.”

“I was weighing 245 pounds, on high pressure medication. cholesterol Medication and borderline diabetic. After reading the Emerge website from start to finish, l sent Darrin an email with the subject matter ”I think it’s time”. I knew it was time to make the commitment. 

I liked Darrin’s approach. He was direct, to the point and did not beat around the bush. He openly talked about the variables with this new lifestyle such as the change in eating, commitment to the exercise program and the cost.  He taught me how your body reacts to specific foods and how you can effectively fuel your body to transform it.

 My expectations were skeptical going into this program. I thought I would lose 20 or 25 pounds and stay there and plateau. These were my past experiences. When I got under 220 and was still losing weight, I came to terms that this was a real lifestyle change, not just a diet. After four months, and hitting the 50 pound weight loss goal, I realized I had been carrying this excess weight for 13 years. 

I am now off my cholesterol/ medication and my blood sugar readings are well within the normal ranges. My family has been very supportive in this journey. I did not need a tape measure to see how many inches I had lost. Last spring, my daughters could not wrap their arms around my waist. Today, their hands overlap.”

“The birth of my two children left me weighing over 200 lbs! I tried everything and did manage to lose some weight but never achieved the look I wanted. Once I started the Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle I not only reached my goals but surpassed them!”

“Darrin taught me how to get the body I always wanted, but I thought I could never have. 19% body fat to 6% in 6 quick months, without sacrificing lifestyle, comfort, or taste. The Fitness Over 40 Lifestyle is not only a training program but it’s also a classroom equipping you with the tools and knowledge to look great the rest of your life.”

“I was due to make some lifestyle changes…. I needed a bit of body and mind tune up,ya know, kick it up a notch….(so I thought). I saw this post about “looking great and living great over 40” I never would have imagined what I was in for!

Speaking with Darrin proved I had made the right choice. Obviously, he practices what he preaches! His knowledge and professionalism quickly shined through as my ideas were changed into a real life solid plan of attack.

With Darrin’s clean, healthy meal plan and direction along with the regimented workout program the positive rewards just kept coming. The expertise of Darrin created a concrete healthy lifestyle change for me. I hit personal fitness levels and goals never thought possible. My self esteem and confidence levels have increased as well!”

“In a nutshell, it’s the best thing I have ever done for myself, family and future!”
