My Feet Hurt.

PrimeTime Guys

Richard:
In 30 days..lost 23lbs..30 days after that he lost another 21lbs. 44lbs in 60 days. 232lbs to 188lbs.
He lost a combined 16in off his hips and waist, and over 31in. on his whole body!

















Scottie: In 30 days lost 23lbs...30 days after that
he lost another 17lbs. 40lbs in 60 days. 248lbs to 208lbs. He lost over 26 full body inches!

These guys first came to me looking to get into shape. They soon found out they were in for much more.

These guys took on a complete nutrition overhaul, a mobility/injury prevention program, as well as 3 days a week working out with me! They always show up with a great attitude and bust their tales everyday.

These results are only the beginning for them.

Scottie developed much needed flexibilty/mobility over the past few months.












The after math of hard work, great eating habits, and accountability.

I am opening up my schedule to take on 2 new personal training clients who desire these kinds of drastic results. If this is you and you want to take the challenge, or you know someone who would greatly benefit from this, email me ASAP.

***If your not serious about change, then don't contact me..this isn't easy.

"Happy Hour"

So the legend goes as so..

A guy misses Crossfit class one day, more specifically a 515pm class with JDP. The next day the coach asks the guy, "Hey, where were you Monday?" The guy says, "I went to Happy Hour after work." The coach chuckles and says...What?!.. this is "Happy Hour"!

So the legend began..



This past Sunday, Tom (left)and wife Heidi (not pictured), threw the "Happy Hour" crew a good ol' pool party!Fajitas, drinks, music and frisbee's were in full supply as everyone enjoyed the atmosphere.

Tom is one of Crossfit Central's first three clients! We are grateful for Tom's long time hard work, and support of the gym. Thanks for everything!

Don't tell anyone in the class, but we have a 100 Burpee "buy in" today before the workout! (too much dessert yesterday!) Haha, I'm just kidding! They already know...

Part 2 of Pullup Challenge!

Part 2 of Pullup Challenge. It's now the newbies of the 5:15pm class turn to try and beat the numbers the vets put up... tell me who won!

Pursuit of Excellence

In the pursuit of becoming a better trainer/coach/athlete, this path month I attended a Kettlebell Certification and an Olympic Weightlifting Certification.

(Pic Above) Jeff Martone and myself at the end of day 1 of the cert.

I thoroughly enjoyed this KB cert. Martone's style of teaching is very simple, yet effective. He has great teaching cues. An expert in his field of Kettlebells and it showed.

Favorite quote from Martone the entire weekend:
" When squatting, you don't wanna look like a dog in the middle of the field taking a crap"...I'm still laughing from that one!



(Pic) Coach Burgener and me.

The other cert I was fortunate to attend was Olympic Weightlifting with Coach Burgener.He is a very passionate human being with a very simple coaching style as well. He was able to break down oly lifting and explain it in a way I hadn't heard before. Great expert to be around!

Today I finally purchased a pair of Olympic Weightlifting shoes. I won't have to borrow yours anymore now, Zach, haha!

I'm eager to share the knowledge I've gained from these past two certifications. If you know of anyone looking for training, send them may way!

Maxin and Relaxin

The days are getting warmer and everyone is feeling great. Check out this clip of Tom and Mark, long time clients of Crossfit Central, hanging out after class going for max pullups!

Stay tuned for Part 2, where 2 rookies Daniel and Jason, try to beat Mark and Tom.

Success story!!

A mother, a wife, and a crossfitter, Natalie Renfrow's future is looking bright! When she first started attending my M/W/TH 7:30pm class told me she couldn't even walk up her driveway without getting slightly winded. After a lot of hard work and dedication to the program she is now racing through 800m runs for time and dropping inches! Her husband Garth has seen similar success and is on his way to getting ripped!

Check out these before and after photos and see what Natalie had to say about their success thus far.

Keep up the hard work Natalie and Garth!!

30 Day Challenge Success Story: Jessica Kasper

"Before taking on the 30 Day Challenge, I knew I wasn’t challenging myself enough. I knew every CrossFit workout was still really hard, but I wasn’t seeing much improvement anymore. I stayed in my comfort zone and picked weights that I knew I could do-that didn’t scare me too much. I always did pushups on my knees and was scared to try the heavy stuff. So, Lory, Lindsay and I from Crystal’s 7:00pm class convinced each other to sign up for John’s 30 Day Challenge. I was scared and knew it would be tough, but I also knew that it would be much more fun if all of us did it together.
We formed our own support group and discussed our nutrition ‘wins’ and ‘fails’, and vented about how crazy tough the workouts were. The past 30 days has forced me to reconsider my mental boundaries. I have done so many things that I did not think possible (in each and every workout). John pushed us right out of our comfort zones immediately (we didn’t have a choice), and he never looked back. The workouts were challenging physically (which I was prepared for) but they were just as challenging mentally. This helped me to create new positive internal dialogue during my workouts, and I gained confidence looking back at my achievements. I learned more about eating clean Zone/Paleo nutrition, and I have grown accustomed to this new healthy way to eat. I learned that Halloween, weddings, and other social nights with friends can still be fun even without a single alcoholic drink! I now know how to take my workouts to the next level, and feel better and stronger than I have in years! I lost more pounds, inches, and body fat than I thought possible in 30 days. When I started CrossFit in January 2009, I was 29.5% body fat, 30 days ago I was down to 24.2%, and today I’m 17.7%!! If you’re stuck in a rut with your normal routine, want to finally see some major results, or just need a little extra push to help kick start some new healthy habits, the 30 day challenge is for you. But come ready-it’s no joke!"

Results:
Lost 7.6lbs, 7.5inches, and 6.5% body fat in 30 days.

She added 2 extra workouts a week with me in addition to training with Coach Crystal.

And among the many things Jessica can do well, she is definitely cranking out those pullups!
