As a new dad, Ethan is showing up for himself and his growing family. His journey is a reminder that everyone starts somewhere, and the biggest step is simply walking through the doors and showing up! 🩵
Help us celebrate him & check out his story below 👇🏼
“When I first considered joining Burn Boot Camp, I was honestly pretty hesitant. Not only was I out of shape and unsure of where to even begin with fitness, but walking into a gym where the majority of members were women was a little intimidating. I also had very little experience lifting weights and wasn’t confident in my ability to do many of the exercises.
I had watched my wife start her own fitness journey and reach goals she had worked so hard for. Seeing her progress made me start asking myself, “Why not me?” I realized I had plenty of reasons to keep putting it off, but no good reason not to try.
So I finally walked through the doors.
At first, everything was a learning experience. I had to learn proper form, figure out movements I had never done before, and push myself outside of my comfort zone. There were workouts that humbled me, days I struggled, and plenty of moments when I questioned what I had gotten myself into.
But I kept showing up.
Since joining Burn, I’ve lost a significant amount of weight (60) lbs, built strength, improved my endurance, and developed a completely different relationship with fitness. I’ve gone from someone who didn’t know how to lift weights to someone who genuinely loves challenging himself and setting new goals.
What surprised me most was the community. Burn is a place where anyone willing to walk through the doors, step outside their comfort zone, and consistently push themselves has the opportunity to succeed. It doesn’t matter where you’re starting, how much experience you have, or what your fitness goals look like. Everyone starts somewhere, and you’ll find people around you who want to see you succeed.
Today, I’m in the best shape of my life, but I know I’m nowhere near finished. I’m thankful I finally stopped making excuses and gave myself a chance.”
