If you’ve been reading this blog, you already know what Derek is about.
Strength for the long haul. Plant-based performance. Training that holds up decade after decade. The Stronger. Faster. Younger. app is where all of it lives in one place, structured into a program you can actually follow.
Why the app exists
In-person training at Root Force PT is typically booked solid. After more than 20 years of one-on-one work, mostly with clients in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, Derek built the SFY App to bring the same plant-based longevity framework to people who can’t get into the studio.
Everything in it comes from real client work: the exercises that hold up over decades, the nutrition strategies that actually work on plants, the programming principles that keep people lifting into their 80s. Two decades of watching what works, structured into something you can follow from anywhere.
