It’s short, intense, and with the help of a community striving for the same physical and internal improvements, you will thrive! I never could have accurately described Tighter Together until I completed with over 5000 likeminded men and women. We had individual macros, but were all on the same workout schedule pushing through and encouraging each other!

Read MoreNew Job-- The End of a Wonderful Chapter
Teaching the past four years was a blast-- there’s not much convincing you have to do when you’re a P.E. teacher, you see-- most kids having been squirming in their seats all day waiting for other classes to end and MY class to start. And I LOVE that. I love watching them master a skill that took them weeks to perfect.
