Transformance Fitness

Click here for our newest video, showing you what to expect!

Wise words from Transformance last Thursday:

Your ability to live the life you want at 60 starts with the choices you make at 30.

But most wait until something breaks.

→ The stroke at 60?

That started with the stress, alcohol, and inflammation at 25.

→ The burnout at 45?

That began at 22 when you stopped sleeping and started sprinting nonstop.

→ The loss of independence at 80?

That started at 30… when you stopped moving.

We don’t think in timelines.

We think in today. This week. This quarter.

But the truth is...every small habit you ignore compounds.

And every small habit you build does too.
