Where I started

I was over 250 pounds at fourteen. I am fifty now and in better shape than I was at twenty, and none of it came from a hack. It came from thirty honest minutes a day and people who knew my name. That is what I run here.

The book, LifeTree Media, 2015. Free to read here.

Fitness is not one of your life's compartments. It holds the others up. The Manifesto is built on five of them: fitness, family, faith, finances and fun. The daily practice is thirty minutes, split fifteen, five and ten. That is the whole thing, and it is free to read.

The method comes from thirty years of coaching men, including the work my wife Christie and I do at CrossFitBC in Vancouver.

In their words

Nine years of people who stuck with it

Published in the Whole Life Fitness Manifesto, first names as printed.

Positive influence, friend, caring, generous, on a mission, life enhancer, supportive, take your pick. Dai Manuel is all of that. He first got my attention on social media. I thought: this guy practises what he preaches, and that's rare these days. My life has truly been set on a better path because of Dai's guidance.
KayvanWhole Life Fitness Manifesto
In this day and age, true role models are hard to find. Dai Manuel is a man who one can look up to and relate to. He wasn't born with a six-pack, he created it himself. He genuinely wants you to be the best version of yourself, in every aspect of your life.
BrittanyWhole Life Fitness Manifesto
I met Dai at a random business dinner in Las Vegas. I could sense right away that he had a passion for helping people. When I got home I looked up the local gym and committed to getting back into shape. Now I am healthier in my 30s than I was in my 20s. Thank you for being the spark, Dai.
TylerWhole Life Fitness Manifesto
The first few weeks were fun, making small adjustments and just making the commitment. I started looking at my calendar for the next day and seeing where I could fit in my 30 minutes. This is a sustainable, lifelong fitness program. It is not just some fitness fad, it is the real deal.
JenniferCompleted the Power 30
Dai has taught me that although life is busy there is always enough time in a day to dedicate to me. He has also taught me not to beat myself up if there is a day here and there that I cannot do that. I love the person I am becoming more and more every day.
CarmenWhole Life Fitness Manifesto
I recently completed the Whole Life Fitness Power 30, and wow, what an experience. Dai's guidance was a blast. He's a great teacher and motivator, and the information has been easy to understand and integrate into everyday life.

Individual results vary. No outcome is promised.

Still not sure where you fit?

Six questions, two minutes, and an honest answer at the end. Sometimes that answer is "use the free one for a month." I would rather tell you that than sell you something.
