We’re beyond excited to announce that industry legends Richard Boyd (Collaborative Fitness) and Ian O’Dwyer (Feel SOMA) are not only speaking at this year’s Healthy Ageing Summit, but they’ve also chosen our event to launch their brand new project — and it’s something every fitness and wellness professional is going to want to see.
They’ve just been featured in a new article by Joy Keller that dives into their latest collaboration: a Daily Awareness Tool designed to totally change how we think about training, recovery and wellbeing — especially for ageing populations.
It’s Not About Squats Anymore… It’s About What the Body Really Needs
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all fitness assessments. Richard and Ian’s tool focuses on real-time data — things like hydration, stress, cellular fluid levels, even grip strength — to help coaches and trainers adjust on the fly and give clients what they truly need on that day.
As Richard puts it:
“If someone’s already dehydrated, why would we throw them into a sauna and make it worse?”
It’s about working smarter, not harder — and helping people move and feel better based on where they’re at right now.
Movement, Mindset & Mobility — All In One
What’s really cool is how simple and intuitive this new system is. Ian calls it a full framework — from the warm-up phase (they call it “Priming”), through training, right into recovery. And it’s all based on what your body tells you, not just what a trainer assumes.
It’s personal, it’s practical, and it’s exactly the kind of tool today’s health pros need — especially when working with older clients.
Oh, and They’re Using Stick Mobility — Which You’ll Also See at HAS!
Yep, this new tool uses Stick Mobility, which will also be on display at the Summit. You’ll get to see how it fits into the bigger picture of recovery, readiness, and reducing injury risk — super relevant if you’re working with active older adults.
At HAS, we’re all about helping people live not just longer, but better. Richard and Ian’s work ties in perfectly with what we’re diving into this year – things like recovery, longevity, stress, and smart movement.
So if you’re a fitness or health pro looking to up your game with the latest tools and thinking, this is your moment.
