Read moreWe spend some much time fretting over a decision to do something. We find every excuse imaginable to not start something. We put it off and put it off. No matter what it is, if there is some perceived possibility of pain or discomfort we procrastinate, or worse, don't do it at all. Usually the possible perceived pain is way worse then what actually happens when doing the task. The best thing you can do is just start. Start doing it. Put your head down, grind where you need to grind and get after it. It'll be done before you know it, or it'll get easier with time. Better yet, sometimes you'll actually enjoy it eventually. (Exercise anyone? anyone?) When all else fails, just start! ....
Read moreI wrote this blog 10 years ago but the wisdom still holds true. Of course, now I've been coaching people for 20 years, but who's counting haha..... My Grandpa, like most, is infinite in wisdom and in sayings that don't make sense. One of my personal favorites is, "If you ain't gonna use your head, you might as well have two a$*holes." That one never really made sense to me, but somewhere deep inside I knew he was saying I made a stupid mistake. One saying that does make sense, and holds a lot of merit in my life is, "If the truth hurts, change it." I believe that in this saying, my Grandpa got it right. This is one of the quotes that I live my life by, and I wanted to share it with ....
Read moreWhen you are driving a car you have several different gears you can be in......drive, reverse, or neutral. Unfortunately, in life there is NO neutral, only drive or reverse. You are either going forwards or backwards. The same applies to your fitness. When you are making choices everyday think about whether your choices are shifting you into drive or reverse. What are some things that put your fitness in reverse? What can you do to shift gears to overdrive? ....
Read moreI've been overcome with joy this week with all of the beautiful words our community has spoken about our program. Many times it's a grind, laying awake at night stressing about paying the business bills or making payroll or taking care of someone who needs attention. Sometimes, it can be just overwhelming, the stress of it all makes you question whether you're doing the right thing..... Then I read comments like you guys have posted this week leading up to our sale, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for the opportunity to serve. You, our community, makes it all worth it. I hope to serve you for another 30 years, but regardless, I just wanted to express the joy and wonderful gratitude ....
Read moreToday is 9/11 Many people don't even think about it anymore. It's another page in history like Pearl Harbor, the assassination of JFK, etc., most of our kids have no understanding the magnitude of that one day and how it affected all of us. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.... I was in the middle of psychology class at the University of Florida. In the middle of class someone came running into the room and said a plane crashed into the world trade center, they think we may be under attack and that all classes are cancelled. We were stunned. I walked from my classroom to the student union which is basically a huge food court area and they had probably 50 TV's set up ....
Read moreAs we always have beginners and new people joining our program I feel like this is a topic I should address. Our role as coaches at LivLimitless is really 3 fold... 1) To make sure you're moving safely, effectively, and efficiently, in that order. This is to mitigate the possibility of injury and promote the effect that we want from the workout. Many times people have issue here, but typically the issues lie with two things. Number 1 is fear. We as humans are so afraid of looking stupid, or so worried about not knowing anything that we don't seek out help. Call it fear, call it pride, it all boils down to ego. We as coaches are here to answer questions. It's a major part of our job. We ....

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.
