MFA40
Men’s Fitness After 40 was actually born out of frustration. The founder, Chase Barfield, is a lifelong health and fitness enthusiast. He played sports in school, went to the gym and was generally an outdoor person doing physically demanding things for enjoyment. He tried to eat healthy with the information available at the time. Although knowing what he knows now, he realizes that it is no comparison to how he eats now.
The point is that in his teens and twenties, Chase was a lean and fit young man with an athletic build who could easily run a mile in under 7 minutes.
And, it was all effortless thanks to constant movement, a healthier diet than his peers and a wonderfully high metabolism.
However, as he got older, his body changed like all men around the world. He continued to do what he had learned in his teens and twenties but was not achieving the same results.
Chase began to become sorer doing the same things and even incur injury. His waist began to grow (and not in the 6 pack shape…it was more like a keg).
So, Chase Barfield began to do research…one book after another…one seminar after another…listening to one expert after another. As more information moved online, he spent countless hours reading different websites, online reports, and many times diving into the YouTube rabbit hole of videos.
One thing that he determined is that a lot of information he found was quite generalized. And the generality seemed to apply to or focus on those who were in their twenties to early thirties.
It would be for men and women both. I think we can all agree that what would work best for health and fitness in a twenty year old woman is not the same as the most optimal course for a forty year old man.
So, after decades of building knowledge and experience and hundreds of hours of research combined with practical application of what he learned, Chase decided to try and make it easier for others like him. For men who are seeking solutions that work for them specifically…for men who are 40 and over.
He decided to create a program that would help give a baseline of understanding and education to get these men on the right track and continue to collect useful information and solutions that pertained specifically to men 40 and over to eliminate the countless hours of wasted searching only to find information that is useful, but not specific to them.
Chase Barfield always strives to learn how to achieve more with less, meaning, how to make greater gains, improvements and results with less time or effort. He uses this in all aspects of his life. And that is why MFA40.com was created. To be a single source of information and solutions specifically for men 40 years of age and older.
The Founder
Chase Barfield is a family man, traveler, adventurer, entrepreneur and investor who values loyalty and honesty above all else.
Chase has been married to his wonderful wife, Mandy, who is also his closest friend and confidant for over 20 years. They have 3 wonderful and loving sons together, as well as 2 beautiful rescue dogs, and make family the center of their world.
Chase Barfield traveled full time with his family throughout the United States. Their adventure began at the end of 2014 and concluded in 2017.
They rented vacation rentals through HomeAway, VRBO and AirBnB. They stayed in over 16 houses and countless hotels during those 3 years.
They lived in, visited or explored every one of the 48 contiguous states in the US taking them through big cities, deserts, mountains and beaches. Chase and Mandy did this so they could create an environment for their sons to experience history rather than just read about it. And so they could write their own journeys and fulfill them.
You can read all about their travels at LivingNomadStyle.com (the site is still up as a record to their travels for family and friends to see).
In the professional world, Chase excels at strategic planning, business development, and project development and management. In addition he has a unique talent for building specialized teams, designed to accomplish aggressive goals in a broad range of industries.

Chase is well known in the business world for his unique networking abilities and is often the key person for connecting individuals and organizations with celebrities, industry specialists, other investors, high-level business leaders and other entities of value.
In his personal life, Chase is well known among those who interact with him as a health and fitness enthusiast. He is not a licensed fitness or medical professional. But he is a husband, father, son and brother that has struggled much of his adult life to separate what works from what does not, as it pertains to health and fitness.
He found that for every piece of advice that says to do X, there is an equal amount of stuff that says do Y.
And that became even more increasingly difficult and frustrating as he turned 40.
He used his talents in his personal life that helped him succeed in his professional life.
It was through the sifting through information and separation of what was useful from what was not that Chase found the combination of what works for him.
And the results are that he is a pretty healthy man with an athletic build. It is this compilation and combination of solutions that lead to MFA40 being born.
Chase Barfield plans on living as long as he can and enjoying a vibrant life throughout his years. As such he will never stop reading, researching and finding solutions that actually work for him, a man over 40, and then sharing it here on MFA40.com.
