Push Alliance is more than just a male mentoring program—it’s a movement toward transformative mental and physical wellness for men across all walks of life. Founded by Airik Sanders, a visionary leader in education and student success, Push Alliance leverages his extensive experience and commitment to fostering inclusive environments. With a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from the University of Detroit Mercy and decades of expertise in student development and program implementation, Airik brings a unique perspective to mentoring, ensuring that every participant is equipped for growth and resilience.
Three days a week—Monday, Wednesday, at 8pm and Saturday at 4pm—the program gathers participants in a live Zoom call. During these one hour sessions, A Push Up Coach leads the group through the deck, flipping each card to reveal a number of push ups to complete while guiding a moving meditation that incorporates yoga, affirmations, visualization and gratitude philosophies. These philosophies serve as mental anchors, training the participants to focus their minds and harness the power of intentional breathing. The philosophy driving this approach is simple yet profound: mastery of the breath leads to mastery of energy, and mastery of energy shapes one’s reality.
Push-Up or Shut Up isn’t just about physical movement; it’s a guided journey toward cultivating resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, empowering men to take charge of their wellness and lead purposeful lives. Through this balance of physical exertion and mental reflection, the program fosters a safe space for men to connect, grow, and hold themselves accountable for their personal and collective transformation.
