Interested in Longevity? Start With VO₂ Max
VO₂ max testing is not just for elite athletes. While athletes have used VO₂ testing for decades to optimize performance, its value extends far beyond sport. Cardiorespiratory fitness—the broader physiological capacity that VO₂ max helps measure—has consistently been associated with long-term health and lower mortality risk.
Celebrating 19 Years of Redefining What’s Possible
19 years ago, Kelly and I thought it would be a good idea to get married and open Experience Momentum in the same month. There was a dream, a lot of hope, a leap of faith…and probably a healthy amount of ignorance.

What Does It Actually Take to Age Well? 8 Things I’m Paying Attention to at 50
I’ve been in my 50s for a little over a year now, and I’ll admit: heading into this decade, I was a little nervous about how my body would respond. Would I recover more slowly? Would the things I love—running, skiing, mountain biking, lifting, pushing myself physically—start becoming harder?

The Moments You Could Miss
At 6:15 am on Saturday morning, I walked into my 12-year-old son’s room expecting to hear what most parents would expect that early on a weekend: “Maybe next time.”
Instead, he popped right out of bed.
