The 2nd Prime Longevity Approach
The retreat focuses on eight key pillars of long-term health:
1
Strength & Muscle Preservation
Muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging. Our program includes safe, progressive strength training designed to preserve muscle and bone density.
2
Personal Longevity Assessment
Professional, personalized, and actionable. The goal is to understand the guest’s current health status, lifestyle, and goals, then provide recommendations that improve their health-span, energy, and performance.
3
Longevity Testing
Longevity testing refers to a group of medical and health assessments used to evaluate how well your body is aging and what risks you may have for future disease. The goal is to identify factors that affect health-span (how long you stay healthy), not just lifespan.
4
Mobility & Joint Health
Targeted mobility work helps protect joints, improve posture, and prevent injury.

I needed to feel alive again, with a plan of action to improve my health. 2nd Prime Longevity Retreat delivered an exceptional experience Costa Rica’s Caribbean. The level of hosts hospitality, and accommodations, combined with a strong focus on healthy longevity education, made this retreat both informative and transformative. The natural setting added a powerful element of restoration. I highly recommend completing the application process early—this is a standout program.

My time with Max’s retreat in the Costa Rica Caribbean exceeded expectations. The program highlights included expert-led sessions on longevity, structured physical training, and a deeply immersive connection with nature. The organization and professionalism were top-tier. I would strongly recommend this retreat to anyone serious about long-term health and vitality.
Lucy & Beverly, Ages 60 & 63
From start to finish, 2nd Prime Longevity Retreats demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Costa Rica is so beautiful, the Caribbean location provided an ideal natural environment to focus on health, recovery, and longevity. The educational components were practical and well delivered. I recommend applying early, as this is a premium experience with limited availability.
Dave, Age 55
Max’s leadership is the real deal—disciplined, masculine, and lived-through. This program is transformative. What impressed me most was Max. He’s not just knowledgeable—he lives it. Strong, muscular, vibrant… the kind of older man who makes you say, “That’s who I want to be in 10 years.” The training, the mindset work, the nutrition—everything was comprehensive and rebuilt a level of confidence I haven’t felt since my 30s.
This retreat didn’t just inspire me—it rebuilt me.
I used to think decline after 50 was unavoidable. Not anymore. 2ND Prime Built taught me how to build my second prime, not wait for it. I feel powerful again.
JD, Age 60
I’d tried gyms and diets for years with no real progress. What made the difference was the structure and coaching. I’m stronger, leaner, and finally living a lifestyle I can maintain.
