Staying active in your thirties isn’t always about chasing peak performance; it’s about keeping up — with your kids, your work, and the activities that make you feel like yourself.
Between old injuries, busy schedules, and limited downtime, Ian Riley has found that PowerPlay fits right into his lifestyle and helps him stay active.
Meet Ian Riley, Emergency Responder, Mountain Biker, Dad
Ian brings more than enthusiasm to the conversation. He has over 15 years of experience in emergency response, including lifeguarding, EMT work, and service as a military combat medic. Today, he runs ATX Alive, a first aid and CPR training company.
In his free time, Ian’s all about staying active in the great outdoor culture of Austin, Texas: mountain biking, riding his Onewheel, rock climbing, and camping.
“PowerPlay really allows me to get ahead of the game.”
The reality of staying active in your mid-30s
Like many active adults, Ian carries the wear and tear that comes with years of physical demands. Old injuries still flare up from time to time, and with three kids and a full schedule, his routine has to be flexible.
For many people, this stage of life is a balancing act. You still want to train, play, travel, and stay engaged, but time is limited.
“I don’t always have time to run out to the cryotherapy center or go get a PT session,” Ian says. “Sometimes I just need to squeeze in 20 minutes wherever I can.”
How PowerPlay fits into real life
Why is PowerPlay such a natural fit for Ian? It’s a portable cold and compression system that goes wherever life takes him.
The system is simple by design:
- A lightweight pump that delivers intermittent pneumatic compression
- Targeted wraps for joints like the shoulder, knee, ankle, back, or wrist
- Iceless gel packs that insert directly into the wraps
With PowerPlay, you can use compression on its own or pair it with cold. Tighten the straps, start the cycle, and the wrap gently squeezes and releases.
When time is up, everything packs back into your insulated bag.

Chasing consistency over perfection
Ian isn’t chasing a perfect routine; he’s chasing consistency.
“The portability of PowerPlay really allows me to take charge of my routine,” Ian says. “It’s a game changer.”
That mindset is familiar to many active adults — and to professionals — who need reliable tools within reach. The value is in having something you’ll actually use.
“I’m in my mid-30s. I’ve got three kids I’m chasing around, still trying to have fun. Having PowerPlay on my tool belt is a huge advantage.”
