Celebrity fitness trainer and founder of Indoorphins, Charlie Curtis, CPT, has helped his clients—from celebrities like Ryan Hansen, Dax Shepard, and Kristen Bell to average Joes—build strength, lose weight, and gain energy and confidence through his functional-based approach to fitness. According to Curtis, anyone can lose weight and build muscle (yes, even if you’re over 40). It’s simply a matter of scaling foundational fitness concepts up or down based on your starting point, and putting in good and honest work from there.
