How I Finally Got Fit & Healthy After 40 — Even While Running a Gym in Oklahoma City

Searching for the best gym in Bethany or Oklahoma City to finally get your health on track?

Maybe you’ve typed in, "how to lose 20 pounds in a month," or "gyms near me that actually help." I get it. I’ve been there. And I’m here to tell you: it’s not about finding the perfect workout. It’s about becoming the kind of person who sticks with one.

Let me explain.

In My 20s: No Goals, Just Living Fast

I didn’t worry about health back then. I ate what I wanted, partied, stayed up late, and didn’t think twice about the consequences. I didn’t pretend to want something better. That life made sense at the time.

In My 30s: Saying I Wanted Change — But Not Living It

I started setting goals. "Get healthy." "Lose weight." "Eat clean."

I worked at The WeightRoom. I had more time than I do now. But I wasn’t consistent. I thought I was too busy. But now I see the truth: I was trying to change my habits without changing my identity.

I still stayed up late. Still ordered fast food. Still looked for the shortcut.

I wanted to be healthy without giving up the parts of me that kept me unhealthy. Sound familiar?

In My 40s: The Wake-Up Call

Time got real. My body hurt more. Energy dropped. I saw the clock ticking.

That’s when I stopped waiting to "feel ready."

I started living like the healthy, fit man I wanted to become—before I looked or felt like him.

• Cleaned up my eating.

• Got back into training consistently.

• Went to bed earlier.

• Stopped making excuses.

• Surrounded myself with people who lived how I wanted to live.

And in just four months, I started hitting PRs again. I felt like me again. Actually, I felt better.

The Real Reason You Haven’t Hit Your Goals Yet

It’s not that you don’t have time. It’s not that you need motivation. It’s not even about knowledge.

It’s because you’re still trying to fit your old self into a new lifestyle.

You don’t get fit and then start living like a healthy person. You live like a healthy person, and then you get fit.
