Portraits in Fitness is a multimedia venture featuring podcasts and portraits in collaboration with San Francisco Bay Area photographer David J. Toman. Originally launched in late 2022 as the Fit Over 50 Podcast, it has been renamed to better reflect its unique nature as a podcast sandwiched by photo shoots, in studio and on location.
