About
 We’re a husband and wife team not only in our family life, but in our mission to help others get fit and get the most out of life.
If you’re looking at this site, you’re no doubt here for a reason. Perhaps you want to lose weight, or get in shape, or maybe you have a health issue that you believe might be helped by exercise and good nutrition. When we started on our fitness journey, we were looking for the same things. We were where you are now. And we did what you need to do now: make a commitment to yourself. You need to set a goal, and then commit yourself to achieving it. Neither of us had (or has!) superhuman willpower. Neither of us had any more dedication or perseverance than anybody else does. We both have our weaknesses and strengths. So how did we succeed, and how can you? Because we followed - without knowing it when we first started out - Beachbody’s motto: Decide. Commit. Succeed. We decided to set a goal, we committed to achieving it, and we succeeded. Maybe that sounds too simple. But it’s true. And if we can do it, you can, too. And we’re here to help you succeed! |

Hi, I’m Jan. Along with my husband Mike, I’m on the road to a better me. I love the idea of being in the best shape of my life at the age of 44 and on!
Jan before starting P90 We started P90 in June 2008 and are going strong. We’ve worked through P90 and P90 Masters Series and are currently working out with Chalene Johnson in ChaLEAN Extreme. We also got Rockin’ Body for our boys to work out with, but we had fun rockin’ those workouts, too!
A little bit about me, I love to do many things, most of which involve just sitting. I design digital scrapbooking products, so I spend most of my days working with my laptop in my recliner. I also love to read and cross-stitch. We recently got a tandem Hobie-Mirage kayak and I love to go out on the water in our area with Mike. We also love to bike together and have a great bike path nearby. I hope through the combination of consistent exercise and clean-eating to finally get into shape and stay in shape. This is a serious life-style change that I’m doing for me. I hope to also set a good example for our sons so they will grow up with healthy attitudes about eating and exercise. My user name on WOWY is CoachJan. Come join up and work out with us - it’s free! I’m looking forward to the ride! - Jan |

Mike Hicks At age 46 I can say without doubt that I’m in the best shape of my life - and that includes the time I spent in the Army over twenty years ago when physical fitness was a big part of the daily routine.
Mike before P90 My motivation for starting down the Beachbody path wasn’t so much to lose weight (although I needed to ditch about 30 to 35 pounds), it was to try and bring my skyrocketing cholesterol under control. While it had always been high, the blood test I had during a “routine” physical in 2008 shocked me into action: I was a heart attack waiting to happen.
So, as Jan noted, we started in on the Beachbody programs and a new way of eating, and within six months my cholesterol came down to well within the normal range - without any medication! My doctor and I were both pleasantly shocked. As for my interests, I’m an author (if you enjoy sci-fi and fantasy sorts of things), a computer geek, a gadget collector, and I love to read. As Jan said, we do lots of things together, mostly outdoors, but sometimes we just enjoy curling up on the couch and reading or watching movies. At this stage, exercising regularly and eating right has just become part of our lifestyle to help us live longer, healthier lives. My motivation now is to share my experience with others like you to help you achieve your fitness goals. You deserve it!
