Hello!
Welcome friend! I’m Jack Sweeney, and I've been coaching adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s (Gen Xers, like me) since 2015.
Over time, I've learned something important: most fitness programs aren't built for us. They're designed for 25-year-olds who can bounce back from anything. But at our age? We need something different. We need to build strength sustainably, move without pain, and show up confidently for the life we want to live. That's why I created Built 4 Next.
I'm a NASM-certified Personal Trainer, Group Fitness, Senior Fitness, and Golf Fitness Instructor, plus a Nutrition Coach.
But more than my credentials, what matters is this: I get it. I'm now in my 60s, and I know what it's like to wonder if you're "too far gone" or if it's too late to start. It's not! Too many people wait until something happens - heart attack, injury, sickness, a lecture from your doctor! That's why I encourage everyone to...
JUST START!
Or, as I like to say...

"Be Ready, So You Don't Have To Get Ready!"
My Story
A quick back story about me… I grew up playing sports and was active through college. Then, the real world hit. I spent 20+ years in a high-stress corporate job - long hours, a lousy diet, and party-filled weekends to blow off steam. In my late 40s and in the midst of a career transition, my wife enrolled me in a six-week fitness boot camp. I loved it, but man, was it challenging. Trying to create new habits around exercise, sleep, and nutrition really opened my eyes about how far my fitness and health had regressed. My only goal at the time - make healthy choices a habit, and I started with exercise.
Fast forward two years, and I had lost over 50 pounds, dropped three pants sizes, and two shirt sizes. My energy was back, my health improved, and my optimism for my long-term vitality was, and still is, on overdrive!
Now, I work out in my home gym (in my case, my living room!), just like you will. No fancy gym. No expensive equipment. Just sustainable strength and mobility training that actually works for our bodies and our lives. Whether you're starting from scratch or getting back after time off, I'm here to help you build the foundation you need, so you can keep hiking, traveling, playing with grandkids, and living fully for the next 30+ years.
