Older. Stronger.
In charge.
The silverback is what a gorilla becomes with age. Eight coached weeks of strength, mobility and balance, with meal planning and a supplement protocol built for bodies over 45.
Muscle you lose
you can win back.
Inactive adults lose 3 to 8% of muscle per decade after 30, and strength falls even faster after 50. The same research shows the fix, and it is not gentle senior stretching.
Muscle-loss and training-response figures reflect published research on sarcopenia and progressive resistance training in older adults.
No mystery. Just the plan.
Progressive strength sessions
Two coached at your partner gym plus one guided at home via the Movement Vault. Every movement has a joint-friendly swap.
Zone 2 cardio, 30 to 45 minutes
Conversational pace. Roughly 80% of your cardio should feel easy. That is the point, and it is what builds the engine.
10 minutes of mobility and balance
Couch stretch, squat holds, single-leg practice. Daily balance work is the quiet hero of staying independent.
Bone-loading session
Brisk walking, stairs, light impact work for hip and spine density.
A real human reviews your week
A five-minute check-in form: sessions done, energy, sleep, nutrition, pain flags, one win. Your coach responds every week, visibly.
Find your Fitness Age.
Before we change anything, we measure everything: a 30-second chair stand, arm curls, chair sit-and-reach, shoulder mobility, an 8-foot up-and-go and a single-leg balance hold, each scored against published age norms. The result is your Fitness Age, a single honest number.
Week 8 retests every benchmark. Your before and after is not a mirror selfie. It is chair-stand reps, sit-and-reach inches, balance seconds and a new Fitness Age.
The Protein-First Plate.
No calorie counting, ever. After 45, muscles need a bigger per-meal protein dose to respond, so the system is simple and non-negotiable: 25 to 40g of protein at every meal, eaten first. Half the plate vegetables. A quarter smart carbs. Water on a written schedule, because thirst signals fade with age.

Questions, answered.
Is this a challenge like the 6-week programs?
It shares the coaching DNA but runs deeper: 8 weeks instead of 6, because that is the honest evidence window for measurable strength gains, plus a Fitness Age assessment, meal planning built for bodies over 45, and an optional supplement protocol. After the 8 weeks, most members continue month to month.
I have not exercised in a decade. Is this safe for me?
The program starts with a health screening and a baseline assessment, every movement has a joint-friendly version, and your coach scales everything to your starting point. And before beginning this or any exercise program: talk to your physician. Our onboarding asks you to.
What is the Fitness Age assessment?
A validated battery of simple tests: 30-second chair stand, arm curls, sit-and-reach, shoulder mobility, an 8-foot up-and-go and single-leg balance, scored against published age norms. It turns your starting point into a number, and week 8 retests every single one.
Do I have to buy the supplements?
No. The Evidence Six is optional education with exact doses and the reasoning behind each one. The program works without any of them. Talk to your physician before starting any supplement, especially if you take medications.
What does it cost after the 8 weeks?
The Silverback membership is $199 per month, month to month, no contract, cancel anytime. A premium 1-on-1 tier with private coaching and daily accountability runs $349 per month.
How does the guarantee work for this program?
We guarantee function, not scale weight: complete your two coached sessions each week, submit your weekly check-in, and show up to the week-8 retest. If your chair-stand reps have not improved and your sit-and-reach flexibility has not improved over baseline, choose a 100% refund of your $799 or free coaching until both numbers move.
