What makes Joe Weaver with Getting Fit After 60 a good neighbor?
Aging doesn't have to mean getting weaker. In fact, the opposite can be true with the right approach to fitness after 60. As someone approaching his sixth decade, host Skip Mauney connects with Joe Weaver, founder of Be Fit After 60, for a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about aging and physical capability.
Joe shares his remarkable personal journey that began when his teenage son asked for workout guidance. Setting a goal to be in the best shape of his life by 60, Joe not only achieved this milestone but discovered a passion for helping others do the same. The science is clear - you absolutely can build muscle and improve strength well into your sixties, seventies, and beyond. What starts as a discussion about physical training evolves into something much deeper about consistency, community, and finding purpose.
When COVID forced Joe's Asheville studio to close, he pivoted to virtual training, discovering an unexpected benefit - clients actually showed up more consistently online than they did in person. This virtual approach allowed Joe to maintain his Asheville community even after relocating to the Midwest and to expand his reach nationwide. We learn how this fitness community became Joe's emotional lifeline after losing his wife of 36 years, demonstrating how physical wellness programs often nurture mental and emotional health too.
Unlike intimidating boot camps or grueling workout regimens, Joe's approach centers on making fitness genuinely enjoyable with music from the 60s-80s, conversation, and laughter. His philosophy is refreshingly practical: if it's not fun after 60, you simply won't stick with it. Whether you're looking to maintain your active lifestyle with grandchildren, manage sciatic pain from too much sitting, or simply move better as you age, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiration.
