Let's Face it, we all share these 4 problems...
We Get One Body,
One Life,
One Chance, to Make it Good
and Make it Better!
Human Problem #1
Use it or Lose it!
From 26 years old on, your metabolism slows down 2% every year. The body wants to rest, and we grow complacent. Sadly, most people lose their ability to move so slowly, they do not notice what's been lost, until it's gone.
They are unable to play with their children, or grandchildren, or move easily from the ground. Without training, day after day, we gradually degenerate.
Human Problem #2
Injury & Bad Habits!
Habitual patterns of movement, a sedentary lifestyle, or the failure to rehabilitate injury creates weakness in our body, often leading to repeated injury, chronic pain, and postural misalignment. We often stop and atrophy, instead of making progress and adopting a corrective movement plan.
Human Problem #3
Ignorance can hurt you.
If we are never taught how to move correctly, or offered a chance to discover the limits of our body awareness: balance, strength, flexibility, and fluid mobility, we will never know our potential for true freedom. Freedom of movement, and our highest quality of life, is still only a thought instead of an actual experience. All skills are learned and require practice.
Human Problem #4
Ego and Procrastination.
The ego may not acknowledge: weakness, ignorance, or unhealthy imbalance in our body. It does not want to appear unskilled, inadequate, or feel uncomfortable. It may tell us, "I already know that. Why change and try something different? I'm too fit, or too fat, for that. I don't need to do that now. I can wait till tomorrow."
Then tomorrow never comes.
To solve these problems we are proud to introduce:

Meet Your Instructor
Short version of a long story....
My name is Len Mackey, born and raised near Potsdam, NY I first began observing natural movement tracking animals as a boy hunting, fishing and trapping with my father Dennis. I did karate, and played high school sports. Never a super talented athlete, I played football, and ran track to stay fit, and meet cute girls from other towns.
At that time I lived with pinched nerves and charley horses in my back. My legs are slightly different length, and plantigrade running F's up the alignment of my spine.
I had to see a physical therapist to help the problem of correcting my posture. What I thought was a curse, is now a blessing, because I have no choice but to exercise regularly.
I knew if I did nothing I'd slowly fall apart, and probably need back surgery like my Dad: who lost and never regained feeling and control in the lateral portion of his legs post-op. My father's condition, his inability to walk in the woods, and not knowing how to help my Grandma Joan prevent falls, which became regular after 83, really broke my heart, and pushed me hard to overcome.
My first year in college (1999) I took modern dance and yoga. This helped my back tremendously, but my balance, coordination, strength and power still felt limited, not as good as other's. I knew I had more potential and was hungry to learn.
Despite all the yoga, I still felt weak, and had no real muscle tone. Turning 30 I began P90X and serious resistance and interval training. At that time, I realized I had no choice, but to use it or lose it.
I worked out at home, because did not enjoy the gym vibe, and felt self conscious and awkward working out publicly. Unfortunately, I got lyme's disease, and didn't now WTF was wrong with me for about seven years.
I overcame this dreadful feeling through regular training and the study of Djembe, African and Caribbean dance, ballroom, improv, and especially in training others, and helping them get stronger too.
Every semester I taught 40-50 HIIT and Yoga classes a month, and doing all this in addition to my personal workouts. I was over training, and actually got weaker.
I always thought the harder I worked the more gains I would make, and I had to discover how specific exercise, and periodization actually affected the human body, so I got certified as a personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist. Here I learned how to help folks like myself recover from chronic problems, and how to keep moving in a restorative way post physical therapy.
Attending Tom Brown Jr's Tracker School, I was introduced to animal forms for the first time. A fabulous way to begin the day, I realized how challenging, beneficial and fun it was to move like a bear, an otter, a heron, or a hummingbird.
These re-wilding animal movements, coupled with Ninjutsu (a Japanese martial art), resistance and interval training, and the Dynamic Compass Lunge, Squat and Plank series, have become the foundation of my training protocol.
I have now tested these methods on thousands of people ranging in age from 7 to 92 years old. Sharing these tools and witnessing their success, beyond anything I could have imagined, brings me the greatest joy!
Giving folks the ability to play with their children and grandchildren, allowing college and pro athletes to reach the next level, stroke victims to heal their brains and bodies and ultimately recover the ability to balance and move freely, all bring a good purpose to my life.
Watching the change in people: the growth of their strength, balance and proprioception, improving every single week, gives me hope and the deepest satisfaction, enriching my heart and soul.
I also enjoy the added benefits of: being especially sneaky stalking animals while hunting in the woods, walking with confidence and awareness of my whole body, the ability to fall and roll safely, and the ability to defend myself if needed.
In the end I am glad to have suffered the pain of a crooked back, because it forced me to explore every avenue for answers, and lead me to this specific, unique form of training, and now the opportunity to improve so many lives.
I hope you're as excited as I am for you to beginning this training! Welcome to the Wild Critter community! We regularly host live group sessions that bring everyone to the next level. Can't wait to see you there!
Frequently Asked Questions

ALL SKILL LEVELS!

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
Our one of a kind,
Couch Potato to Wild Critter program
Begins as Soon as You Sign Up,
and
Lasts a Lifetime!
Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?
Nope. This is the only place in the world where people are moving in just this manner. The Dynamic Compass Lunge, Squat and Plank series is a unique study of the body moving 360°, from low to high levels: creating unparalleled stability and body awareness, and deeply impactful lifelong benefits.
Do I need to have any exercise equipment before starting?
You won't need much outside of your own body weight, and gravity. Having bands, free weights, or a pull up bar is useful, but if you can find some rocks, books, logs and the right tree branch, you're in business. If you lack space inside, then you can always move outdoors, in the fresh air, which is what Wild Critters often prefer.
Should I invest in Couch Potato to Wild Critter before investing in gym membership?
You won't need a gym membership with this program. It is complete in and of itself. However, I would never discourage anyone from investing in their health and growth. If it is easy for you to attend a gym and workout, definitely do it! You can practice these exercises anywhere, and doing them at the gym you will show people something they have never seen before, something that will absolutely challenge them, and get them out of their comfort zone in the most healthy way.
