Founded by a strength coach and a sports medicine physician.
The Longevity Project exists because rehab and real strength training almost never happen under the same roof. We built it so they do.
Deacon Andrews & Dr. Jaron Santelli — same mountains they coach their clients back to.
Deacon Andrews, Co-Founder & Head Coach
[Placeholder — opening paragraph: your coaching background, who you work with, and the one-line version of your approach.]
Deacon played collegiate tennis at King University before becoming a professional fighter, then served in the U.S. Army. That path — competitive athletics, professional combat sports, and military service — is where his understanding of the body under real physical stress comes from. Today he's an avid mountain sports enthusiast, still training the way his clients want to: hard, and for the long run.

Dr. Jaron Santelli, Co-Founder & Sports Medicine Physician
[Placeholder — Dr. Santelli's medical training and board certifications, and her clinical focus within sports medicine.]
Dr. Santelli played Division I lacrosse at Brown University, competed as a professional snowboarder, and remains an avid tennis player — she has lived on both sides of the table this business is built around: high-level athlete and treating physician. That dual perspective is why she co-founded The Longevity Project, after seeing too many patients get medically cleared with nowhere credible to go next.

Medical-grade oversight, real performance programming
Most coaches guess at injury history. Most physicians don't program strength training. Having both under one roof means your plan is built with full context — not a workaround.
Dr. Santelli reviews injury history and flags anything that needs monitoring or outside care before programming begins.
Deacon builds and adjusts the actual training program — the Return-to-Strength Framework — week to week.

What I believe about training after injury
Pain-free isn't the finish line.
Getting cleared by a PT is the beginning of getting strong again, not the end goal.
Generic programming is a gamble with your body.
A program that ignores your injury history isn't neutral — it's a bet that you'll get lucky.
Strength and caution aren't opposites.
Real progress happens when programming respects what happened to your body without being afraid of it.
