Older. Stronger.
In charge.
Coached strength, mobility and balance for adults over 50, built around a movement screen you film in your own living room. No gym to drive to, no class to make, and a real coach reading what your body actually does.
Start with a free assessment.
Reach out now, start when you are ready. A coach calls you back the same day. No payment today, and no commitment.
Got it. A coach will reach out.
We will call the number you gave, fast. Your free assessment comes first, nothing is paid until you meet us at the gym, and you start whenever you are ready.
We bet your first month
on you.
Most gyms sell you access and hope you forget you signed up. We sell a coached outcome with a number attached: your chair-stand reps and your shoulder reach, measured on day 0 and again every 30 days. Month to month, cancel in two clicks. Do the work, and if those numbers have not moved, you do not pay.
However much help
you actually want.
The same coached engine underneath. What changes is how often a coach is looking at you. Start with the free assessment and pick afterwards, once you know your numbers.

Four steps
to a real plan.
No pressure funnel and no card up front. You film the screen, a coach reads it, and you decide what happens next.
Ten minutes, a sturdy chair and a phone. No card, no call, nothing to pay.
Not software. A person watches how your knees, hips and shoulders actually move, and scores you against published age norms.
A month of movements chosen around what your screen showed, with a private video for each one and joint swaps already made.
The same four movements, scored against your own baseline. Your progress is a number, not a feeling, and it rewrites next month's calendar.
Your living room, on your clock.
No commute, no class times to make, no gym floor to walk across. You train where you are, when it suits you, on a plan built from your own screen.
Your calendar is yours. Sessions are pre-recorded and ordered, so 6am and 9pm work equally well.
All you need is a phone, a sturdy chair and a doorway. No equipment to buy to get started.
A real coach builds your calendar from your Day-0 screen and changes it as your body changes.
Everything in a month of
Hybrid.
Bought separately, the same coaching runs well over $1,000 a month. Here is what is actually in it.

Organizing The CoreFour honest answers
before you spend a dollar.
These are the four things people say out loud to Coach Clay when they are sitting on the fence. Here are the straight answers, and the first visit is free either way.
It is a monthly bill, and I have been burned before.
Fair, and usually the burn is a membership that was easy to start and deliberately hard to leave. This is month to month and you cancel from your own account in two clicks, no phone call, no letter, no retention script. Before any of that, the Day-0 assessment is free: you film four movements at home, a coach reads them and tells you what they would actually do with you. If you never go further, that costs you nothing and you still learn where you are starting from.
What if it is not the right fit for me?
Then we would rather you found out from the free assessment than a month in. Your Day-0 screen comes back with a plain read on what your numbers say and whether this is the right thing for you right now. If a coach thinks you need a physio or your doctor before you need us, they will say so. If you do start, the Scoreboard Guarantee is written down: do the work, meaning your sessions, your weekly check-ins and your 30-day reassessment video, and if your chair-stand reps or your shoulder flexibility have not measurably improved on your own baseline, you get every dollar back.
You have not seen my knee.
Not yet, and that is exactly what the Day-0 screen is for. You film four movements in your living room and a coach watches how you actually move, not how you describe it. An old injury, a replacement, or anything a doctor has told you to be careful with is the coach's problem to program around. Every movement in your calendar then has a version built for what your knee will take that week, and it gets changed at your 30-day reassessment as that changes.
Online means nobody is really watching.
That is true of most of what is sold as online fitness, which is a video library with a search box. Here a coach reads your Day-0 video before anything is written, builds your calendar from it, reviews the lifts you record, and answers you on WhatsApp between sessions. On the Hybrid and Live tiers you are on a Zoom call with them looking at your form. Coach Clay writes the programming and the guides; our coaches deliver the sessions. Not a bot, not a script, and not a library you were left alone with.
You do not have to decide anything today. Send the one question still sitting in the back of your mind and let Coach Clay answer it first.
Questions, answered.
What exactly do I get each month?
Your Day-0 movement screen read by a coach, a movement calendar built from it with a private video for every exercise, a weekly compliance check-in, and a full reassessment every 30 days that rewrites the next calendar. Hybrid adds fortnightly Zoom coaching and WhatsApp access; Live adds two coached sessions a week.
I have not trained in years. Is this for me?
That is exactly who this is built for. Every session is coached and every movement has a beginner progression and a joint-friendly swap. A coach reads your screen before anything is written, so the plan starts where you actually are.
How does the money-back guarantee actually work?
Three conditions, all checkable: follow your prescribed sessions, submit your weekly compliance check-in, and film your 30-day reassessment. Do that for a full 30 days, and if your chair-stand reps and your shoulder reach have not improved on your own day-0 baseline, you get every dollar back. Full terms on the guarantee page.
Where do the workouts happen?
In your own home, anywhere in the United States. Silverback Strong is an online program: your coach builds your calendar from the movement screen you film at home, and you train in your living room on your own schedule. There is no gym to drive to and no class time to make.
Why do I have to apply instead of just buying online?
Because we cap every cohort at 20 and we would rather turn you down than take your money and watch you ghost. The application plus a short consult with a free assessment confirms the program fits your goal, your schedule and your start date.
What happens after the first month?
Your final assessment, your before and after, and a goal review with your coach. Most graduates continue with the ongoing membership at a graduate rate held open for 48 hours. No auto-enrollment and no contract traps: continuing is a decision, not a default.
Your next 30 days are
happening either way.
The only question is whether there is a scoreboard at the end of them.
