And check out his body fat percentage change 🙌🏻 Nutrition with Jess and being consistent in the mornings have been life changing for him.

🔸Tell us about yourself:
I am a military veteran, and when I got out of the military I became the laziest person in the world. I was just like a lot of veterans who get out and see you don’t have to be up at 4a.m and workout and took advantage of it. I self medicated with alcohol to fight my mental health issues and it made my life take a turn for the worse. Before I started coming to the gym I was 240 pounds with 32% body fat and could barely even move. I had a battle with the VA that messed me up and now exercise has helped me heal mentally and physically.

🔸Normal class time:
4:30 a.m. I had to go back to the military and start doing the stuff that kept me disciplined. When I first started at the gym it really frustrated me coming to that class seeing females lift more than me but it is part of the reason I work so hard to get back how I’m supposed to be.

🔸Why I started CrossFit:
After seeing how unhealthy I was I knew I had to do something. I tried to get a personal trainer but when they told me the rates I cursed them out. I was scared to start it but I knew I needed something challenging to help me get back disciplined. Now that I started it I can’t go back to normal workouts because they are boring to me now.

🔸What has been my biggest victory so far:
I have lost 31 pounds and gained 13 pounds of muscle since the day after Memorial Day. I also cut my body fat percentage from 32 to 16%.

🔸Favorite movement/workout:
None I actually hate them all I just do it because I know I need it for a better quality of life.

🔸Least favorite movement:
Squats, Sn**ches, and Power Cleans

🔸Favorite thing about CrossFit SBR:
The people at the gym try to elevate you and help you get better. This gym has changed my life for the better.

🔸Next personal goal:
To work on mobility, cut more body fat, and gain more muscle

Tell us about yourself:
🔸 I am from Baton Rouge, LA. I have been married for 21 years to the most amazing woman, Joanna. Almost 5 years ago, we had just two children (Beck (16) & Sallie-Jewel (14)), and we thought we were in the home stretch, until The Lord thought otherwise, and gave us Thatcher who is 4. Everyone says to me, “Well that must keep you young,” which I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but it has done the opposite because I feel old, very very old.
During my spare time when I’m not in the gym, I run a food brand for a professional baseball player. But my real job is that I’m an Uber driver for my 3 kids!

Normal class time:

Why you started CrossFit:
🔸 I was an athlete through college, but after hanging up the spikes, I struggled to find a physical activity that I enjoyed. After completing a four-year grad degree in 2011, I was in the worst shape of my life. We moved to San Diego and a Marine Officer friend invited me to work out with him on base. We did crossfit-esque workouts, and I fell in love with it and have kept going ever since.

Least favorite movement:
🔸 Thrusters! One of many movements NOT helpful to a tall person.

What is your next personal goal:
🔸 Eat more protein and I should probably run a little more (But should I?!)
