💪🏼TRANSFORMATION STORY 💪🏼
Let’s just start with the fact that this would have never began without me being on a job site in Alpharetta and my lovely wife sending me a message saying “Hey, I signed you up for BURN, do you think you can make it to the 4:30 today”… I’m forever grateful for Shannon giving me a push without pressure to go do something I really didn’t want to do but knew I needed too. It started by showing up.
Jason Seymore and Braxton Rainey have been asking me to come for at least a couple years. I’ve tried other “group fitness class” lifestyles and quite frankly it didn’t do much for me and I wasn’t interested in paying for another program to have the same experience I had before so I quit that and became a normal gym guy that maybe went seven days out of the month. I lost a little bit here and a little bit there. I truly never committed to the process and never held myself accountable. My food choices were poor and my desire to exercise was minimal.
I prioritize making it to CAMP (as I learned quickly this isn’t a CLASS) every day regardless of what I have going on in my day-to-day and child-watch is a game changer for my lifestyle. I’ve lost over 10lbs of body fat and have gained not quite but almost 10lbs in muscle mass and all of that has happened in the past 154 days/120 camps, and I can’t wait to look in the mirror at 365 days. I hope I’m running half miles and dumpster laps in the front, doing pull-ups without a weighted band, doing 30” box jumps from off the floor, and inspiring the next person behind me to know that they can do it too.
All that to say - thank you BBC Acworth, the trainers, the BAs, and the community within. I’m so confused about 75% of the time about what the heck we are actually supposed to do, but watching all of you and having the extra encouragement gives me every bit of drive I need to try and just get 1% better every day. I see you all and let me say… WAY TO GO BABY! ALL of you gave that to me and I’m forever indebted for being given a place that has changed my life - so with that… give me two claps on 2️⃣!!
