I have been an athlete since the fifth grade – over 13 years.  I was the captain of every sport I played in high school, and went on to be an All-American athlete in college.  I have done any and every workout given to me by a coach, as well as countless on my own, and I have always been very conscious of my nutrition.  My collegiate career is something I will forever be proud of, and I worked harder than I ever have in my life.  That being said, it was my belief that I had peaked in college while competing in a Division 1 program.  Then I found ForgedFit.  With the training and nutrition advice that I have gotten from Jeff Edwards, I can confidently say that I am in the best shape of my life.  Jeff has worked on building upon my strengths while diminishing or eliminating my weaknesses, all while restructuring what I thought I knew about nutrition to give me a body that is both muscular and lean.

I am still competing in my sport outside of CrossFit, but instead of taking away from my training it has improved every facet of it.  The simple act of joining ForgedFit changed my life and my fitness in a positive and permanent way, and I have no doubt that it will do the same for any person who is willing to simply give it a try.

Jeff:

I recently completed my annual physical. As part of it, I had all of the standard blood and urine tests. When my doctor saw the lab results, he was quite pleased. All of my results were now in the normal range and some were quite a bit better than they have been for years.

One example is my cholesterol. It has dropped over 10% from about 180 to 158. However, the “good cholesterol” (HDL) remained the same. The drop was the result from improved LDL and triglyceride readings, the “bad cholesterols”.

The doctor’s comment during the review was “keep doing what you’re doing.”

Admittedly, I was worried when we started five months ago that the routines might be too strenuous for someone who was out of shape and over fifty, however you scaled the workouts appropriate to my ability. This has allowed me to not only improve all of the health metrics, but also improve my stamina, strength and flexibility.

Thanks for all your help. I would recommend the CrossFit program that you use at the ForgedFit gym to anyone who wants to feel better and improve their overall health.
