No more excuses or waiting for motivation. It’s time to look in the mirror and start liking what you see.
If you’ve had enough of your belly fat, lethargy, and guilt and want to get fitter, stronger, healthier, and happier, then I’m here to help you with the Mind Body Academy.
Let’s cut the bullshit. Life’s busy, you’re busy, everyone’s busy.
You don’t need to hear that.
After moderating my Facebook group (Men’s Health and Fitness over 40) since September 2023 and reading about many of your struggles, I know exactly what men over 40 need.
Wanna know the top three reasons why more than 166k men over 40 want to join that group?
1. Tips on how to exercise 2. Lose fat 3. To get motivated
Which is exactly what I’ve based the Mind Body Academy on.
If you’re a man over 40 and confused about how to lose fat, build muscle and get fit, then the Mind Body Academy is perfect for you.
But this isn’t just about a number on the scale or who can build the biggest biceps. Screw that!
This is about reinvigorating (big word there) your life.
It’s about taking back control through knowledge, self-belief, confidence and support.
It’s about re-energising, falling back in love with your life and taking care of THE most important things.
No, not your kids or your Fender Stratocaster.
Your fucking health! Your mindset! Your drive! Your energy!
Once you’ve mastered those, your kids (and your hobbies) will be just fine!
I get it—life is busy, and the struggle is real. The community is where you can connect with other men on the same journey. With support, you’ll make simple changes leading to big results. I've got your back.
The foundation of the Academy is firmly rooted in education and reality. No stupid diets, no ridiculous workouts or claims. Naturally, you'll find a wealth of resources to help you on your way: Workouts, Nutrition, Goal-setting and much more.
Staying on track is easier with support. The weekly check-ins and challenges will keep you accountable and motivated while the community cheers you every step of the way. Every win counts, and we’re here to celebrate them with you.
If you’re looking for the equivalent of ´get rich quick´ or you’re not prepared to do any work, this isn’t for you.
This also isn’t for you if you’re looking for other Alpha males to rub your ego as you count each other’s abs while flexing in the mirror.
No, the Mind Body Academy is for real, ordinary men with jobs and families who want more than a free pdf but don’t want to spend a fortune on a 1-1 personal trainer who’s just going to tell them they need MORE FUCKING DISCIPLINE!!
You see where I’m at?
Hi. I’m Mike Maddox, a qualified Personal Trainer from the UK living in Barcelona, Spain, and I’ve made it my mission to help other middle-aged men like you get fitter, happier and healthier without spending your entire life at the gym.
I’m also the founder of Smashing Fifty and the Facebook group Men’s Health and Fitness over 40, which currently has more than 166,500 members and counting.
I’m not here to tell you what you can and can’t do. My goal is to empower you to take charge of your own transformation. You deserve to experience just how strong, confident, and incredible you can truly feel.
Through my online coaching and supportive community, I’ll help you regain control over your body, your mindset, and your habits. It’s time to ditch the guilt, stop feeling stuck, and start living a healthier, more energetic life that you’re proud of.
I’ve built the Mind Body Academy to be a thriving community of men who’ve been where you are now—frustrated with feeling out of shape, low on energy, and unhappy with their progress.
When it comes to nutrition, training, and life, I want to help you build simple and sustainable habits that you can stick to and get real results.
It’s time to take back control, build strength, and rediscover the energy and confidence you thought was behind you.
Your wife (or the woman in the office you’ve had your eye on) had better watch out!
