Stronger for Life: Building Functional Strength That Lasts with Coach Mike Boyle
Aaron Walker : Nov 11, 2025 8:53:21 AM
What if real strength isn’t what you lift but how you live? We sit down with legendary coach Mike Boyle to rethink training, leadership, and legacy through a simple lens: show up, serve people, and build habits you can sustain for decades. Mike shares why most men chase aesthetics and numbers that don’t translate to life, and how functional strength keeps you capable—hauling wood, climbing stairs, playing with grandkids, and getting off the floor with ease. He breaks down the essentials for men over 40: avoid joint pain, use unilateral work to protect balance, push sleds and carry loads, and measure progress by how you feel getting out of bed.
Beyond the gym, Mike opens up about mistakes, counseling, and the cost of being absent at home. His leadership playbook is plain and powerful: hire people who like people, build a client-first culture, and remember that a good coach with a simple plan beats a great plan with a mediocre coach. We talk presence over ego, how to create teams that greet and care, and why some high-profile relationships are transactional—and why that’s okay when your real life is built locally with people who matter.
You’ll also hear the daily practices that keep Mike sharp: early mornings, a one-sentence gratitude journal, short naps for recovery, consistent reading, and 20 minutes of intentional thoughtfulness to check in with others with no ask attached. Walk away with one challenge: choose a single functional rep for the part of your life that’s slipped—body, marriage, or mission—and repeat it daily.
