Truck drivers are among the most sedentary professionals in America,
sitting for over 13 hours a day. The result? Chronic joint pain, poor circulation, stiffness, weight gain, and a growing risk of failing the DOT physical. Gym access is rare. Schedules are unpredictable. Motivation is low. Yet most drivers deeply want to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of their bodies.
- Who they are: Male, 35–60, over-the-road trucker, usually solo, works 60–70 hours/week
- Where they are mentally: Tired, sore, gaining weight, feels like they’re losing control of their body
- What they want: To feel strong, pass their DOT, stay mobile and pain-free, and reclaim energy — without needing a gym
- What’s stopping them: Lack of time, no routine, limited space, “all or nothing” mindset, belief that results require a gym
- Emotional triggers: Fear of medical disqualification, embarrassment over weight/appearance, pride in self-reliance, longing for longevity and family time
- Only 8% of truckers meet recommended physical activity guidelines
- 13+ hours/day of sedentary time is average for OTR drivers
- DOT physicals often flag blood pressure, weight, and sleep apnea—issues movement can directly improve
