PUSH: Unlock the Science of Fitness Motivation to Embrace Health & Longevity

Thu Feb 12, 2026
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

From the time of Ponce de Leon in 1513, humans have been searching for the fountain of youth. From de Leon’s ill-fated expedition of 1500 to the 2.9 trillion-dollar longevity industry of today, the quest for eternity has been ongoing.

In today’s age of social media and mass marketing, longevity science has gone mainstream.

Despite spending vast sums of money, do any of these treatments and therapies help us live longer? In an increasingly saturated space, how does the average person, interested in health, discern what types of therapies are worth the personal and financial investment?

Dr. Jordan Metzl, renowned sports medicine physician from New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery and best-selling author of five books including The Exercise Cure, addresses the concepts of longevity, movement, and motivation in his newest book PUSH (Penguin Random House 2026). Dr Metzl will discuss the ways that movement, motivation, and muscle are the keys to healthy longevity, while trying to help audience members better separate medical accuracy from hype. He will also provide methods to better assess and enhance healthy longevity through the science of fitness motivation.

Join us prior to the program for a to-be-announced fitness opportunity (more to come!)
