A Personal Note From Robbie & Patricia
You know what keeps me up at night?
I've spent my entire life obsessed with how the human body works, and here's what drives me crazy: I watch incredible people who've worked their whole lives, finally ready to live out their bucket lists, but their bodies just won't cooperate. These are the folks who've lived the most life – the ones in their 50s, 60s, and beyond – with all this amazing wisdom and life experience. And you know what? The fitness industry practically pretends they don't exist.
Here's the thing that hit me early in my career: While training elite athletes and Navy SEALs, I noticed something deeply wrong with how we approach aging and fitness. The best minds in psychology, therapy, and fitness were all working in silos, mainly focused on younger athletes. Meanwhile, the people who needed this expertise most were being left behind.
But the real breakthrough came when I met Patricia.
I was the passionate, science-obsessed guy who'd been studying human movement since my teenage years. Patricia was the brilliant tech systems thinker who could see the bigger picture. Where I brought the deep understanding of mind-body optimization and leading clinical teams, she brought the technological and organizational expertise to make it accessible online worldwide.
Together, we discovered something remarkable: The secret to aging well isn't just about exercise or therapy alone – it's about rebuilding that crucial mind-body connection that naturally diminishes as we age. This discovery changed everything.
We've spent years analyzing over a million case studies, collaborating with and employing world-class experts, developing something that had never existed before: a comprehensive system that combines cutting-edge psychological methods, therapeutic protocols, and fitness science into one seamless approach.
What drives us? It's those "impossible" moments. When someone who thought their best days were behind them suddenly realizes they can play with their grandkids again. When they rediscover the joy of hiking trails they thought they'd never see again. When they finally understand that age truly is just a number.
When we're not in the lab or working with our VIP family, you'll probably find us in our backyard with our "kids", our Border Collies, Shadow and Prince. (Fair warning: Show any interest in our dogs, and Patricia will spend hours showing you videos of their latest agility training!) We're those weird health nuts who spend weekends experimenting with new superfood recipes – though I'll admit, Patricia's the one who keeps our pups' raw food diet more consistent than my own meal prep!
We're constantly learning, growing, and yes – still working on mastering that work-life balance thing. But that's what makes this journey so exciting. Every day, we get to help people rediscover what their bodies are capable of, and honestly? There's nothing more fulfilling than that.
That's not just our work – it's our life's mission. We've chosen to dedicate everything to this cause, to helping our VIP family (that's what we call our members, because that's truly how we see them) rediscover what their bodies are truly capable of.
Because here's the truth: If you've got the wisdom of decades behind you, you deserve to have the body and energy to make the most of every single day ahead of you.
That's not just a nice idea – it's why we jump out of bed every morning.

Success Stories
Defying The Odds At 78… Rick Ragan’s Comeback Story:
At 78, Rick Ragan had resigned himself to a life dependent on inhalers, with rounded shoulders that made him "look like an old man" - his wife's words. Having struggled with asthma for years, he was skeptical when he first discovered The Fitness Doctor program.
"I was hesitant at first," Rick admits. "But everything changed within weeks of starting the Full Body Fix."
The transformation began with something seemingly simple: learning proper thoracic breathing techniques. "None of my doctors had ever approached my breathing issues this way," Rick shares.
"Within nine months, I went from relying on inhalers to not needing them at all."
But the breathing was just the beginning. Working with Robbie and the team, Rick learned to engage his scapulas properly, naturally pulling his shoulders back into alignment. The rounded posture that had aged him beyond his years began to reverse.Today, Rick plays pickleball three times a week, often for two hours at a stretch. "Other players think I'm at least ten years younger than my actual age," he beams. "I'm not just maintaining - I'm getting more fit each year."
Mary, 67
"I thought my gardening days were over due to constant back pain. Now I'm not only back in my garden, I'm teaching my grandchildren about growing vegetables - something I never thought I'd be able to do again. The team didn't just give me exercises - they gave me back my passion."
Tom, 72
"For years, I avoided activities I used to love. Now I'm back on the golf course, playing better than I did a decade ago. The team didn't just help me get stronger - they helped me understand my body again. Last week, I shot my best round in 15 years!"

Frequently asked questions
… I'm in my 70s, 80s, or even 90s?
Absolutely! Our program serves clients of all ages, including members in their 90s who successfully complete the exercises and continue to improve. Age is not a barrier - it's about meeting you where you are and helping you progress safely.
...I have existing health conditions?
Yes. Our members successfully manage various conditions, from osteoporosis and joint replacements to asthma and chronic back pain. Many have experienced significant improvements in their mobility and reduced their dependence on medications through restoring and building increased physical capability. Depending on your condition our physiologist team will often meet with and collaborate with your medical professionals to ensure your safest and greatest health outcomes.
What makes this different from regular exercise programs?
We focus on proper body mechanics and personalized modifications. Each movement is based on restoring optimal functionality within your unique body, thoroughly explained, and you'll gain not just what to do, but why you're doing it. Our approach combines your specific needs with therapeutic techniques and functional movements that optimize your fitness capabilities for living a thriving life.
Do I need special equipment?
No. The program is designed to work with minimal equipment in your home. Most equipment gets in the way of developing optimal functionality and many people actually cause dysfunction within their body as a result of focusing externally versus on how their body is sensing and acting most healthfully. We also focus on proper body mechanics and movements you can integrate into daily activities - so that you can have a great functional life not just workout.
How quickly will I see results?
Many members report feeling improvements anywhere from their first session up to within weeks. Although, the most significant changes come from compounding health results from consistent practice over time. When you begin to understand how your body should ideally function and you feel that change within you it creates a mind-body relief from acute and chronic pain. The most enjoyable part is this restores confidence and strong capability to do all the things you love to do and even continue improving regardless of age.
What if I can't do all the exercises?
Every exercise can and will be modified to your current ability level. We emphasize doing what feels good and is personally manageable all while gradually building strength and mobility. Success comes from: feeling great about what you’re doing each step of the way while achieving life elevating greatness through consistent practice at your own pace.
