Read moreOne of the questions asked of me often, and frankly one I've been asking myself lately is why did I get into my field, why do I do what I do? Besides being a fat kid, and getting heavily into fitness when I was in college, the main reason why I run a gym now is because of the difference we make in other people's lives. It's so amazing to see someone who, before LivLimitless, never worked out hard before. Soon their fitness grows and they become more confident. The day they hit an accomplishment like completing their first pull up is an amazing event for everyone. As the people get stronger and more fit, the workout becomes the hardest thing they do that day. It's awesome when you ....
Read moreThis post was first published Jan of 2011. I thought it'd be fun to repost today.... The 1% Rule If you've been here for awhile, you've probably heard me mention this rule. I first read about it in a book called "Raving Fans" by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles. If you work in a customer service industry, which I believe every business is, this book is worth the 2 hours it'll take you to read it.... now back to the 1% rule. When I read this rule I felt that it was so good, I try to apply it to every aspect of my life, but especially at LivLimitless. The rule is try to improve by small increments always.... specifically by 1% a week. If you improve by 1% a week, at the end of ....
Read moreIt's Tuesday and for some reason somebody in the Mexican food industry decided it would be good marketing to start throwing out the phrase, Taco Tuesday. Now everyone on Tuesdays wants tacos. I get it, I love tacos, but we can make better choices.... It's your choices throughout the week, the little choices that create long lasting results, or create a situation where you're not making progress. The little goals matter. Guess what? I'm not going to say you can't eat tacos. I'm not even going to say you can't eat tacos on Tuesday. What I am saying is that you can make small changes that make big results. Now what does that have to with tacos? Remember, I LOVE tacos. So here's what I ....

More info is coming soon!!! ....
Read moreToday I was scrolling through Facebook and just like every morning a list of "friends" who are having birthday today scrolled by. The first name on the list was a former member of the gym. I immediately was saddened because instead of a celebration, I thought about how she died several years ago. She was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had been the recipient of a double lung transplant. She came to us to exercise and get her lungs stronger, and she did extremely well when she was with us. Despite her best efforts, the sickness got the best of her, and she passed away. I've had three former clients pass away so far in the last 10 years we've been in business, and it saddens me to think ....

One year ago this month, I walked through the doors at CrossFit Bartlett, and my life was forever changed. On that day, I was miserable. I felt awful about myself. I didn't find myself attractive, and I referred to myself as "the fat friend". On Enlistment Day, I did not want Justin or Krystal to even look at me, because I felt like they were going to find me disgusting and assume I was a lazy person who made excuses for being overweight. That is how bad I felt about myself. I didn't even want people to look at me.
Before I started my journey at this gym, I had tried everything and my weight was up and down for years. I tried weight watchers, I ordered multiple as seen on TV quick fixes, I joined gyms, I tried Couch to 5k, I tried not eating, I relied on medicine, and I even did a few other things I am too embarrassed to mention. Nothing worked.
I started to believe that I was living in a body I was meant to have, and during one point in my life, I completely gave up. It wasn't worth it anymore. I did everything society said I should do, and I still failed.
The first 6 weeks during my journey, I was
Later, I joined the nutrition program and got my eating under control. It is now a year later, and I cannot believe who I am today. I show up and put in the work, but if it were not for the staff, I would have not been successful. These people push you, support you, and educate you. They pave the way for the person you want to be.
My life has been enriched by this program. I no longer let the scale control my happiness, and I no longer say negative things about myself. I love myself fully for the first time in my life. When I decided to put myself first and to make my health a priority, everything changed, and I became a better friend and wife.
At the beginning of my journey, people would say, "I don't even know who you are anymore", and this would make me uncomfortable. When people say it now, I smile and say, "me either". Hearing those words is the best thing in the world.
