So this story’s pretty wild: ROMFAB, makers of the ultra-high-end ROM four-minute workout machine, have supplied me with with one of them to see if it can help make my dreams come true in a year. On October 30, 2009, the clock strikes 30 on my life…who & how will I be?
My goals:
- Lose 50 pounds
- Keep up with my growing little girl
- Think clearer
- Radiate peace
- Be the very picture of virility
- Attain body-mind-spirit health
- See God
…okay, so a workout machine can’t do all that…but it can help with some! And we’re gonna see if it does. I’ll be working out on the ROM for just four minutes every day, and posting videos once a week. On my blog I’ll be posting reflections on the ROM and other aspects of the above-outlined whole-health journey. Let the ch-ch-ch-changes begin!
Here’s one of my most recent videos:
If you want to skip my blabbering and go straight to the videos, they’ll be uploaded to my YouTube channel as they come out. Alternately, you can subscribe to them here.
Here are some of the most salient posts so far in my yearlong journey to wholeness and integration:
Whoa, it’s Jack Black’s brother! Seriously, glad you’re taking care of yourself Mike.
your ROM fitness challenge sounds great keep up the good work and body-mind-spirit health will be yours
yo mike,
Looking good on the ROM.
If you ever want to sweat to some Charlie (that sounds weird), you have my permission to use any of my music for your workout! It would be my greatest honor (as far as you know)!!!
Have fun!.

Hi Mike,
I just ordered my one month rental of the ROM from Angela Kelly in CA. She passed your blog address to me.
I’ve followed a few of your YouTube recordings. YOu looked pretty happy to receive the machine. How has your experience with the ROM been so far?
All the best,
Jeff
I do hope you see God.
lol I’ve been so curious about those machines since I started seeing ads for them somewhere. Glad to see you are getting a chance to try one and post about it. On the other hand, if you are only turning 30 and already worried about getting out of shape, that’s kind of depressing; I look back at 30 thinking about how that was the best shape of my life and how much I miss it. So anyway I hope you push the curve and it’s all fitness and clarity from here on in. thx Lizzie
GOOD LUCK MIKE!! Admirable goal and worth pursuing. I’m pulling for you all the way (wait, did I just make a pun!! haha). Keep ‘er up and keep us updated for sure!!!
Go Man GO!!!
TAA
I am trying ROM on the 1 month trial as well. Wish me luck!

Welp! Glad you’ve been able to stick with it Mike! Way to go! I tried it out for awhile since I am your neighbor (lucky me:) and it was a lot of fun. I didn’t keep it up though as I wish I would have. It is such a short workout that it is hard to believe there is much benefit to it. But I know while I was using it, I felt a whole lot stronger! Thanks!
Great to read about your adventure and progress. I too would like to visit with you about your experiences. Please email me with your phone number and email address. The ROM appears expensive at $14,615, however it also maybe worth every penny.
I look forward to a visit and keep the posts coming.
