A Journey from Beachbody to Pickleball: Embracing Change and Finding New Passions

Starting around 2015, I found myself needing to refocus on my day job as the writing on the wall made it clear that Beachbody was changing. My time with Tony Horton, Shawn T, and yes, even Sagi, was transformative. Beachbody helped shift my life into a healthier, better version of me. Yet, I have to admit, I was never cut out for the MLM side gig. Reflecting on this website now…oh boy, icky doesn’t even begin to cover it! As Beachbody gradually moved away from producing hardcore workout programs and placed more importance on Shakeology subscriptions, it became easier for me to step away. The renaming to BODI and going public marked further shifts, and now they’ve dismantled the MLM network entirely in favor of a straight affiliation model. It’s clear that a facelift is overdue for Goferboy. And so, it’s time for a new chapter—a dorks guide to Pickleball for enthusiasts and beginners alike. This blog will explore the sport, its fun, and the fitness benefits it offers. Let’s discover the joy and excitement that Pickleball brings.

How to train and prepare for your first half marathon

Congratulations! You have decided…or been forced into your first half marathon! Either case it’s pretty cool you have reached this point and I guarantee you will enjoy the ride and become addicted to this stupid running thing. Did I mention you get a shiny medal when you cross the finish line?? And free swag as […]

Is Shakeology worth the price?

I think the biggest résistance I come across with Shakeology is the price. And I can appreciate that as there are so many other protein shake brands out there on the market. And I think others smarter than me have already shown how Shakeology is in a completely different class of product…which sadly goes unnoticed […]

Finding the right workout shoe

I was originally going to focus on how to know when it’s time to replace your shoes. Runners can gauge this easier then folks doing cardio, but the same principle applies…. don’t stay in the same pair past their usefulness. But instead of going into the details, I came across this excellent blog article from […]

Shawn T’s New Workout program – Cize?

Who knew all this time I was dancing everyday, but I just don’t have the beat?   But seriously….NO…I really can’t dance. I don’t want to dance. I know my limitations and I’m happy with this. If there was any chance of dancing I think I would have given Zumba a chance.   But as […]

What is the best orange juice brand to buy?

The short answer is None! And this applies to all fruit drinks folks buy off the shelf and think they are doing their family a healthy service. The truth is any fruit drink that is sold off the shelf has to go through a series of pasteurizing, chemical baths and then enriched with synthetic chemicals in the guise of healthy […]

The Microsoft Band – My Review, take one!

To sum it up, I love it! Easy to wear, I love the geek factor in checking my email, sms, and calendar events. I can check on the weather, stocks and UV levels at a glance. I can even pay for my Starbucks coffee with my band! But I think the single most pleasure I get is talking with Cortana, which […]

Android fan switching back to Windows phone.

Switching back to Windows Phone is not a fair statement. I started with the Motorola Q running Windows Mobile 5.0 (not pictured) and there is no way you can call that thing a smart phone. And I have no clue what OS was running on the Samsung Instinct pictured on the far left. Samsung got hammered for trying to market the […]
