Your Death Could Cost Your Family $1,045,200

Did you know that the average funeral costs between $8,000 and $18,000? That’s a huge financial burden, especially if someone passes away unexpectedly. Now imagine this scenario: it’s you. A heart attack or stroke strikes without warning, and your family is left not only to grieve your loss but also to face the financial fallout.

I know this sounds harsh. But I want you to hear me out because the reality gets even tougher.

Let’s break it down. How much do you earn annually? In Kansas City, the 75th percentile earns just over $80,400. Now imagine you’re 47 years old, with 13 years left before retirement. Over those years, you’d contribute a staggering $1,045,200 in income to your family.

That’s over a million dollars providing comfort, stability, and opportunity for the people you love most. Without you, your spouse and children are forced to pick up the pieces, scrambling to survive—not just emotionally but financially.

And this is where the real weight lies. It’s not just about funeral expenses. It’s the second and third-order effects of your absence. The missed birthdays. The college tuition left unpaid. The stolen years of family vacations, laughter, and milestones.

I’m not saying this to be dark or grim. I’m sharing this because it’s real.


One Member’s Wake-Up Call

One of our Prolific members understands this reality all too well. He survived full heart failure—a brush with death that changed his life forever.

Today, he trains with us daily. Why? Because he refuses to put his family in that position ever again. He recognizes that the cost of investing in his health is insignificant compared to the cost of leaving his wife and kids behind.

Now, here’s the best part: he doesn’t do it alone. His wife trains with him, side by side, and together they’ve transformed their lives. They’re in incredible shape, but even more importantly, they’ve found peace of mind. The “what-ifs” no longer haunt them.


The Data Speaks for Itself

The science is crystal clear:

  • Resistance training reduces the risk of all-cause mortality by 15%.

  • It lowers the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by nearly 20%.

  • It decreases the risk of falls (a leading cause of death for people over 65) by up to 57%.

But here’s the catch: you can’t start after the crisis hits.

You don’t know when a heart attack will strike. You don’t know when you’ll fall down the stairs. You don’t know when a cancer diagnosis might upend your life.

This isn’t about reacting to illness. It’s about preventing it. Resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and proper nutrition are the most effective tools we have to safeguard our health and protect our families from devastating loss.


The Gift of Movement

God gave us incredible bodies, designed to move, to work, and to thrive. In the Garden of Eden, the first thing He told Adam to do was work. Not sit behind a desk or stress over spreadsheets—but to use his hands, to engage his body, and to stay active.

When we ignore that design—when we let sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits take over—we’re putting ourselves at risk. And it’s not just about you. It’s about the people who depend on you.

I understand that hiring a trainer or following a meal plan may seem expensive. But let me ask you this: What’s the cost of doing nothing?

When you compare that to the emotional, financial, and spiritual toll your family would face, the investment becomes priceless.



Are You Ready to Take Control?

It’s time to stop living in fear of the “what-ifs.” It’s time to reclaim your health, your confidence, and your future—for yourself and for the people you love.

You have the power to make a change. And we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
