"The same year I lost 101 pounds, I broke my own sales record. That is not a coincidence.
I told Russ recently that I'm becoming the superhero my wife and daughter deserve. I meant every word, and we are making it happen."
High Performers Don’t Negotiate With Their Health
A Story from Dave Robards, Grant Cardone’s #1 Top Salesman
Dave had been fighting his weight his entire adult life. Lost it. Gained it back. Repeated the cycle more times than he wanted to admit.
When he started working with Russ, everything changed. Russ didn't give him a diet. He built a system around Dave's actual life — his travel, his schedule, his stress, the foods he actually enjoys. And then held him accountable every single day.
101 pounds gone. Sales record broken. Showing up differently for his wife and daughter.

Casey Raftevold

Danielle L.

Brandey Stone
Investor and Business Owner
★★★★★
'"I'd been 'meaning to get serious' about my health for years while building my career. Russ finally made it non-negotiable — and simple. I didn't just get my body back, I got my confidence, my energy, and a version of myself I'm genuinely proud of. The results showed up in the gym and in the boardroom."
Owen Runnels
★★★★★
'"I thought being lean and strong at my age required living in the gym. Russ showed me a smarter way. His system fit around my schedule, my travel, and my life — and the results are the best I've ever had. I have more energy, more focus, and more drive than I did 10 years ago.""
Michelle Loveless
★★★★★
'"I was tired of starting over every few months. Russ didn't give me another program to fail — he gave me a system that actually works for my body and my lifestyle. The physical change has been incredible, but what surprised me most is how much better I perform under pressure. Health really does change everything."
Gave Maske
★★★★★
'"I'd been telling myself I'd sort my health out 'when things slowed down' — but things never slow down. Russ taught me that waiting was the most expensive thing I could do. His program fit around my life and delivered results I honestly didn't think were possible at my age. I look better, feel sharper, and I'm performing at a level I haven't seen in years."
Sarah M.
★★★★★
'"I'd tried everything — every program, every diet, every quick fix. Nothing lasted because nothing was built for my actual life. Russ changed that completely. He didn't just transform my body, he changed the way I think about my health. I have energy I forgot I could have, and a confidence that shows up in everything I do — not just how I look.""
James Flynn
★★★★★
'"I knew I needed to do something, I just kept deprioritizing it. Once I committed to Russ's program, the results came faster than I expected — but the biggest surprise was the carry-over effect. Better sleep, better focus, better decisions. My health stopped being something I managed and started being something that drives everything else."
Jarrod Glandt,
President Cardone Enterprises
★★★★★
'"Health and business are the same. It’s impossible to see the results for the work you do in a single week, but if you have the right plan and accountability, you’ll be shocked with how far you can go in a short period of time. Shout out to my guy Russ."
Brook Melicher
★★★★★
'"I've dropped two dress sizes, lost 14 pounds, and I'm stronger than ever — still eating dessert every day. Russ is genuinely invested in your success, and the moment you're struggling, he's right there. You absolutely get your return on investment with him. I strongly recommend it."

Yocasta Yaltagarcia

You’re never doing it alone, and that’s why you truly get a return on your investment. I strongly recommend this program—it will make your life better."

With Russ and the tribe beside you, you truly believe in the process and where you’re going."

If you’re on the fence, don’t be—Russ is fully invested in your success, and this program delivers real results."
Ralph Gunter
★★★★★
'"I’m 60 years old and now have a six-pack—something I never thought I’d say. The biggest difference has been the consistency and the support from Russ and the community. I haven’t been perfect with my workouts or diet, but seeing others push through their struggles reminds me that if they can do it, so can I. What really stands out is the results—while I’ve seen others train for years with little change, I experienced a dramatic physical transformation in just six months."
Shannon Bostick
★★★★★
'"At 57, I wanted to be the best version of myself, especially with my doctors warning me about being borderline diabetic. Since starting this program, my health has improved—my triglycerides dropped to levels I’ve never seen before—and I’ve gained confidence I haven’t felt in years. I’m stronger than I ever imagined, accomplishing things I never thought possible, all thanks to the support, knowledge, and encouragement from Russ and the team."
Kimberly Barwick

The real breakthrough wasn’t just physical—it was finally understanding my worth and creating lasting change."
