I Didn’t Start in Lycra; I Started in Battle
I’m John Harris. Navy vet. Cancer survivor. Wellness coach. I’ve lived through trauma, abuse, and disease. I know what it’s like to feel broken, and I know the fight it takes to rebuild.
After the Navy, I carried my scars — physical and mental. Then thyroid cancer hit. Suddenly, health wasn’t a hobby. It was survival. The fitness industry didn’t have answers for someone like me. Too old for the “shredded in six weeks” crowd, too stubborn to accept decline. So I started experimenting. Studying. Failing. Rebuilding.
That’s how Proud Boomer was born — a place for people over 50 who want health without hype. My style is blunt but supportive. No detox teas. No false promises. Just strategies that work for aging bodies and tired minds.
Here’s what I believe:
You’re not too old to get stronger.
Your scars are data, not death sentences.
Real change doesn’t start with fads; it starts with grit.
Longevity isn’t just years; it’s quality.
I coach because I want people like me — people who’ve been through some sh*t — to know that you don’t have to fade away. You can fight back.
