Helping Men Build Muscle After 40

Strength coaching for guys who are done piecing together random YouTube workouts. Get a real plan built around basic equipment and the 30-45 minutes you actually have.

I’m Mike

and I built this for guys exactly like you.

Former NCAA strength coach, Columbia-trained, competitive Olympic lifter, dad of two. I've spent 15+ years and 700+ articles helping people get strong. J2Fit isn't another influencer program — it's the plan I'd write for you if you walked into my gym.

REAL MEN. REAL COMEBACKS.

Training with Mike Dewar at J2FIT has been a great experience. His expert coaching in Olympic weightlifting and tailored programming have significantly enhanced my strength and technique. I highly recommend J2FIT to anyone looking to advance their fitness journey.

Mike is very knowledgeable and patient. He listens to your goals and creates programs that cater to them. Easy to talk to and be comfortable with, which is helpful when trying to reach your personal goals. I had about a year of experience with lifting, and he was able to coach me on form and modifications to get the most out of the workouts.

SIMON PORTER

Couldn’t be more satisfied with my progress and truly owe it to Mike. Was just getting back into working out and Mike couldn’t have made that transition any easier and enjoyable. The custom workouts have been great and Mike is extremely knowledgeable giving advice and pointers on proper form.

KEVIN ROBERTS

Previously had never had a strength/lifting coach. It's been incredibly easy to communicate with, and learn from Mike. The formatting of his app is clear, the videos are informative, and he is always quick with a response over text if he isn't already at the gym. I have now been working with him for over a year and I would recommend him to anyone.

THOMAS MCKENNA

In previous experiences with trainers, I found a complete lack of communication and a laissez faire style coaching. This is simply not the case with Mike. If you're looking for a coach who is genuinely invested in your well being, follows your progress and is incredibly easy to work with, Mike is your guy!

MORGAN PENCE

Been working with Mike and the J2Fit program for a bit and I’m really enjoying it. I was programming for myself for months, and having Mikes guidance instantly got me out of a pattern that wasn’t producing results anymore. I love the exercises he gives me, and of course the combo of J2Fit and RTS Barbell can’t be beat!

"I used to be strong. Now I'm soft."

"My belly is bigger, my shoulders are smaller."

"I don't have time to figure out my own programming."

"I get bored of YouTube workouts that don't connect into a plan."

"I want to feel strong again. I want to look good with my shirt off."

"I want to play with my kids without throwing my back out."

You used to be strong.

You WILL be again.
