Hyperfit USA changed my life.
I used to be the proverbial 98 pound weakling. As I got older, this became unacceptable to me. I decided to change. I did everything I was supposed to do. I bought a gym membership and trained with personal trainers. I hated it. The atmosphere was uninviting, I felt like the body builders did not think I even had a right to be there. I did not get the results I wanted.
Then I hurt my back pretty badly. I went on disability from my job teaching Kindergarten. I saw physical therapists. I did what they said. I didnt get any better. After months of this I got fed up.
I fired my therapists and trainers and started to study the body and how to effectively repair it. Through intense studying, trial and error and persistence, I fixed my back. It took three years to do it, but I did it. Furthermore, I became fascinated with this miracle of a machine called the human body. Learning how it worked and how to keep it working efficiently became my life.
I switched my career from teaching and decided to become a personal trainer. This way I could help others learn how to use their bodies effectively and prevent injuries. But try as I might, I was only mildly effective with my clients. Some would get bored with weights and cardio machines. And weight machines did not get the results that I wanted for my clients.
Then I met Doug Chapman.
I remember my first workout with Doug very well. It involved a lot of squats, pushing my body harder than I ever had before, and choking down my own vomit. I remember the next day it felt like gravimetric forces had decided to gang up on me and stairs became my worst nightmare. It was as if my body grew all new nerve endings to increase the pain to staggering heights. I never felt so alive and I was definitely not bored. One thing was clear, this guy was on to something.
So I decided to put his theories into practice for myself and my clients. It was so rewarding to see my clients get the results they wanted and have fun doing it. Furthermore, my business boomed and I went into training full time. On top of that I am in the best shape of my life and I get to help others get there as well.
Now I work for Hyperfit USA. I change lives. I teach regular people how to move their bodies and prevent injury. As I read the other testimonials on this site, I am proud of the part I played in helping these athletes achieve their goals and improve their lives. And I hope that they realize that they too played a part in not just their own growth, but the growth of others.
Hyperfit USA is more than just a gym, it is a community. By being an example to others or cheering each other on we grow together. If the building was destroyed today, there would still be Boot Camp tomorrow. And all of the rubble would make for a great workout. Max facility chunks for time, GO!
I am the 98 pound weakling that became a Hyperfit USA instructor. I change lives as part of a community and I am damn proud.
