Looked very Similar to this One But Silver and more rust

I was the first person in my immediate family to graduate college.  Graduation day up to that point of my life was the biggest success of my life and one of the very best days of my life.   I left College with no real idea what I wanted to do other than the fact that I Loved Fitness and in the 5 years I was in school had transformed my body.

After graduating I worked a 9 to 5 management job and within months quit and got back into the gym and personal training.  I had come to the realization that the car I wanted to drive, the house I wanted to buy the other things I wanted in my life I had to put on the back-burner, I had to figure out how to pay my bills, how to put food on the table and how to keep my mind clear and positive. In 2004 I started saving money, week by week, all the change I had, a dollar here a dollar there. I wasn’t even for certain why I was saving other than the fact that one day I may need it.   I started working at a local gym soon realizing that this thing they called “retaining clients” was not for me, so I started bending the rules and eventually got fired.  They did not like this thing I called transformation, it went against the “hit your sales quota approach”.  I found no happiness in sales; I found happiness in helping people change their lives.   I then went to another corp gym within months similar situation happened and I stepped down.  I was not a manageable person; I was an entrepreneur and wanted more.  What in the world was I going to do now?   I started my own little business as a traveling trainer, making enough money to barely get by but I was finally HAPPY because I got to do it the way I always wanted too.

In 2003 I had who is a very close friend of mine now but a complete stranger at that point David Washington come up to me at our local gym and say Bro you have a ton of passion, I see it every day, Why don’t you get into modeling.  Modeling?  I live in Kansas how the heck am I going to make things happen?  I took those words he said to me that day and ran full steam ahead.  I am a 0 or 100% type of person, so if I do something I will go nonstop until the goal is accomplished I just had no idea how difficult it was not knowing anyone, not having a name of any sort and being broke, loll.  It didn’t stop though.  Through all of this I WAS going to become this HUGE FITNESS MODEL from Kansas, ha-ha.  I had no idea how difficult at that point (nearly 9 years ago) it would be I didn’t care though, how would a kid from Kansas get on covers, get featured in magazines, and get on TV reality shows? It was right in front of me, the connection to the world- THE POWER OF THE SOCIAL NETWORKS.  And I became a guru within a few short years; I built a Name, a Brand and a Business.

For those who have followed me since the beginning, Hitch came from MySpace days after I was given the Nickname from a close friend who said I was the Hitch of Fitness Like Hitch Was For Love match making in the Movie Hitch with Will Smith, I gave people hope and happiness again.  I used it as a screen name little did I know years later it would become a brand.   Myspace days I would blast 50 bulletins per day and all the local haters in Kansas city would talk their trash while they are popping bottle in the clubs, lol. They looked at it as I was conceited or I was obssessed with myself, that couldnt be more from the truth, it was business to me and I was trying to figure out how everything worked.  Maybe just maybe I knew exactly what I was doing regardless of what anyone said, they didn’t slow me down I had been through far more than a few haters, they got brushed off and I continued full steam ahead!!!

In 2005 the car accident happened right after being featured on my first cover Men’s Workout.   That put a halt on everything.  The Dr said I should not workout with weights until I was fully recovered which may take a year, I should not of listened to them honestly.  I knew my body, I could had started working out again about 3 months into it, instead I listened and lost almost 25 lbs. of muscle, this was one of the worst years of my life.   I lost all my personal training clients and to make money I was working the doors of some of the popular night clubs in kansas city and around an environment that I despised.   The environment became a part of my life and I became for a short period of time the guy that was in the club without a care in the world, looking back now I was be trying to cover up the fact that I was not happy with what I was doing, what I was looking like and knew I needed to change my environment regardless of what kind of situation it put me back in finacially.  That was the stage of my life called “Fake it before I make it”.  I was never a drinker or party type of guy, even at that period of time having 3- 4 drinks in the night was a crazy wild night to me but people who know me know that was never my lifestyle.  Yes I was the guy in the club that thought I was cool because I bought a new shirt from Express and had 21 year old girls flirting with me, WOW I WAS COOL, not so much My mind was cloudy and I needed something to revamp my confidence.

  I had dropped from a 190lb Ripped Cover Model August 2005 to 165lb Skinny Club Guy in Nov 2006

(whats with the stupid face, lol)

The year had passed and I have saved a good amount of money but was still in a place of UNHAPPY, out of the blue a friend from La had called saying I was on the cover of Muscle and Body with JNL, I said are you sure it’s me, I hadn’t shot any images in over 1.5 years, yes im sure it’s you.  That was the moment I said it’s time to change my life and delete all the negative crap.  I took a long look in the mirror that day and told myself I would come back stronger, more confident and never look back.  That was over 5 years ago I have not had even one sip of alcohol since.  People say, well one won’t hurt, your right one won’t hurt but what’s the point, I live each day trying to make the best choices I can , wasting a choice on that seems pointless and goes against everything I live and teach is not going to happen:)

In 2008 I met Diana which was a huge turning point for me, I had been though a few tough relationships that had took a major toll on me emotionally, and I was just drained and needed to focus on me.   I was at a point that I just did not want to even attempt dating or a possible relationship with anyone. Fate happened though months later she moved to Kansas City and she helped put the final piece together of what we now know as Hitch Fit. A Few years after that we got married!!!

All the money that I had started saving back in 2004 was soon going to be used for good use. I didn’t want to get loans and owe anything, didn’t want to have partners and have every choice have to go through them, I wanted Diana and I to call all the shots because that was the only way I would be certain that it would grow and operate the right way, if it failed it was because of us and by knowing that I knew it was impossible to fail.  We would be willing to work morning, noon and night day by day, year by year until it we become a Global Enterprise that would help millions of people. That reality WILL happen in time.

Hitch Fit Transformation- In 2011 we helped people Lose over 15,000 lbs of Fat

Hitch Fit was about to become a reality.   Being in so many systems that were based around sale quotas, master trainers, used car salesman type trainers, retention and the managers that thought they were cool because they got the special shirt, flirted with the 17 year old girls and had some sort of authority was not what I wanted to be a part of.  I wanted something that put FULL focus on the CLIENT, was 100% positive and 100% legit/professional.  Hitch Fit Transformation Began.  Instead of hitting a sales quota I focused on how many people I could transform, how much healthy fat loss I could get off of an individual and how many lives I could touch.  No magic pills, no crazy diets, no shortcuts, I was going to teach the truth , the right way of doing things for long term success, not build a system that was based on making more money with no care about the client.  I was tired of putting focus on quotas, trying to convince clients they needed me longer than what they really did or how to stretch a nickel into a dime for a company I really had no passion for.

We launched www.hitchfit.com Feb 2009 and in a little over 3 years we have taken it from nonexistent to 1000′s of clients in close to 70 countries.  August 2009 we opened Hitch Fit Gym in Kansas City.  We now have 2 locations and possibly opening a 3rd soon . It started with only Diana and I, now we have 15 trainers and growing rapidly.  Success can become a reality if you want it badly enough and willing to work hard and long enough.

Last year I was finally able to buy one of my dreams cars and we purchased our first home.  ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!  I lived over 27 years of my life week to week broke with no one to turn to if I could not pay the bills, it was not easy, but making excuses for my situation was not going to help anything

Video of my 15 Year Transformation

The moral of this story is follow your passion, be willing to work very hard because waking up doing what you love everyday does not have a price tag on it.  We all have a story, we have all been through painful times, what helps us grow is how we take those painful times and learn/grow from them.  People who may not know me may think well his life has always been great; he probably always had money or was always ripped.  THAT’S NOT MY STORY. I was not raised in money, I was a skinny kid from Kansas that thrived off the fact that my reality seemed impossible to everyone around me excluding my very close friends and family. Thats what fueled me.  There were periods of time when I was a child that my mother barely had enough money to put food on the table, feeling shame because we had to borrow money or use food stapes to get by but she somehow always figured out a way, people can look at this as a tough life, I look at it as being appreciative for everything I have, to always give back to those in need and never forget where I came from.  Success changes some people for the worse, for others it gives them an opportunity to touch more people’s lives.  That is what I feel most blessed with.   Growing up I didn’t have a mentor or someone who taught me how to become successful I just had an inner drive to be the best I could be and was willing to work as hard as needed to get there.  I did have a bunch of great friends and a good support system but I was the one who had to work, I was the one who had to make the choices daily.  YOU HAVE TO BE THE ONE WHO MAKES IT HAPPEN.   I refused  to take shortcuts nor was I going to step on people to get there.  Money comes and goes, waking up every day knowing that the success came from doing it the right way is PRICELESS.  We all have our own excuses into why we cannot follow our passion but happiness is the one thing we all thrive to have more of, so take control of the path you choose and be everything you have always wanted to be, cut the negative people, places and things around you and surround yourself with Positive!!  It’s tough at times to let go of negative people but I assure your Life gets much better when you’re not having to carry someone else’s negativity on your shoulders.  It is about helping and loving one another not being the victim of a leach or the toxicity of that so called friend that says they have your best interest.  Take Control of your Choices, use each day to better yourself and put full focus on becoming the Best version of YOU.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it helps to push you towards your goals!!  Please feel free to email me if you would like if you have any questions or comments

The thing that inspired me the most during this journey was my wife. I heard about Hitch Fit through her she found the program online, and really wanted to give Hitchfit a try. After looking over the website and reviewing some of the transformations, I was impressed, so I decided to not only support my wife in her journey, but to give it a try right along with her. As the program progressed we both decided taking this journey together was a smart move because we were better able to  understand what each other was going through and were better able to support one another through the tough times.

I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect once we signed up for Hitchfit. I’ve didn’t feel like I was in terrible shape and I had been going to the gym on a regular basis. I am in the USAF, so it is a requirement that I meet certain physical fitness standard, but I was in a “funk” if you will. I was in this funk because I had no direction for my workouts. I knew that I wanted to lose fat and put on muscle but I wasn’t sure how to do that. Enter the Hitch Fit program, Hitchfit gave me the roadmap that I needed in order to reach my goal. Not only did I receive a customized workout plan set up to help me achieve my goals, I also was given a nutrition plan. I knew when I signed up that the program came with a nutrition plan, but it wasn’t something that I really cared about at the time I was looking to get a good workout plan. I’ve never really been considered overweight, so I have never really thought much about the foods that I eat. I pretty much ate what I wanted. Sure I read various fitness magazines that told me I needed to watch what I ate, but like I said it was never a major priority for me.  That being said I am not the type of person to pay for something and only do it halfway, so I committed to Hitchfit 100%. That meant not only following my new workout plan, but changing my eating habits and following the nutrition plan as well. I must say the workouts were hard, but nutrition aspect of the plan completely took me by surprise. The program not only taught me the benefits of a clean and healthy diet it also taught me that I had more will power and strength then I ever knew possible. Before taking my Journey on Hitchfit I would have never passed on a slice of pizza or having a drink with the guys during the Superbowl, but I was able to do those things and many more. Don’t be fooled into thinking that this is a quick fix or easy because it’s not it is hard work, but it’s worth it.

Hitchfit teaches you that anything worth having doesn’t come easy, but that nothing is impossible.  I am a couple thousand miles away from Hitchfit’s main headquarters, so I did the online program, but I always felt like Micah was right there during my workout in my head I could hear him yelling at me saying “Did you pay to quit?” I never actually spoke to Micah on the telephone, but I conversed with him through email a lot and when I had questions or complained and wanted to give up he gave it to me straight. I never felt like I was on my own through this entire program and that really helped me out get through the rough days.

When the program began there were times when I thought that I would never be able to do the things he was asking me to do, but eventually I was able to do countless ab workouts, hundreds of push-ups, and the hardest for me carb cycling, but I stuck with the program and overcame all the obstacles and I feel better for it.  I feel like I have climbed a mountain and made it to the top, like I can do anything, and this I just the beginning I can’t wait to start my next HitchFit Adventure! Hitchfit brought out not only the physical strength in me, but the mental strength as well and for that I will always be grateful.

Wow Amy did Amazing- Amy contacted us over 2 years ago but wasnt quite ready to make the changes needed, after follow for a long time she decided she was finally ready to give 100% .  She kicked some major butt!! Amy Lost over 25 lbs of FAT, 16.2% Bodyfat loss, 5″ on her Waist and 7″ on Hips.  Most importantly she is Healthy and Full of Life.  Amy used the HITCH FIT COUPLES PROGRAM with her Husband. 

Hey everyone. I’m so honored to share my story with you, but first want to say thank you to Micah for the tools and motivation to make this happen and to my husband who took the lead on food prep/choices, an occasional kick in the rear, babysitting, and endless support. I first contacted Micah over two years ago asking questions about the programs offered at Hitch Fit. The first email was sent because I wasn’t happy with where I was physically and I was seeing others getting fit and trim. I wanted that, but didn’t know how to get it. Prior to having my son, Matthew, I was a yo-yo dieter. If I felt a little too heavy, I’d blame it on PMS, skip a meal and go for a jog. I thought I’m a dancer, that’s all the exercise I need. During my pregnancy, my weight topped out at 186 lbs (I think) and I was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension. I had planned to continue dancing through my pregnancy, but not only did I have PIH, but I developed sciatic nerve pain. There were days I could hardly walk. The whole time I told myself, this weight is going to fall off just as soon as I have the baby. On March 11, 2009, I was blessed with a perfect, beautiful baby boy. But, both my weight and blood pressure were still up in the stratosphere AND my sciatic nerve pain was making life SUCK! I was put on a low sodium diet, a diuretic and blood pressure medication.  I was told I would be on the medication for the rest of my life. I was scared.

It was through a combination of tennis, running and starving that I got down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I still felt so weak. Despite getting to my starting weight of 134, I was soft and squishy! I started dressing really thin to hide the trouble areas.  Deep down, I knew my body was capable of looking a different way.

Two years later, I was drowning under responsibilities, overly tired and my self esteem was hanging on by a torn thread. My decision to start Hitch Fit came one evening when I was walking down the hall toward my husband. He stopped me and asked “Why are you walking with your head down?” I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. I was shocked by what I saw and I cried. In that moment I realized the person looking back wasn’t who I wanted to be and I wanted to be better for my kids (Matthew and my step kids). After all, I’ve done some really amazing things in my life. I should be standing up tall and proud.

Amys Transformation video!!

I started doing some research; I read all the Before & Afters on the Hitch Fit web page, started texting my friends (Shannon, Brandi, Andrea, and Ashlie) who had gone through the program, and started talking to my husband about how I felt unhappy with myself.  My friends were so amazing! They listened to every excuse I could come up with…no time; I have a kid and step-kids; I’ve never used gym equipment; I work full-time; I have other commitments; I have past injuries; I’m already worn out; I have a cruise coming up…..and they each told me “Everyone deals with that stuff! This program isn’t easy, but if you want to change and follow it, you’ll get the results you want.” My husband told me “You deserve to always feel good about yourself. I support you.” Well, I was fired up! But, it wasn’t enough for just me to sign up, I signed up my husband too. We did the Couples Boot Camp. Doing this together created a deeper understanding and respect for each other.

Our journey through Hitch Fit began just before Christmas. We took our before pictures and even though I was smiling, I was terrified and when I saw the pictures, I wanted to burn them!!!!!!! I was so far away from the figure I had when I was dancing and when I cheered for the Tampa Bay Mutiny. My goal became to look like the girl in my cheerleading photos. After sending the pictures, I was asked to complete a series of questions. One of the questions was: What are your overall goals? My answers were:

• To feel beautiful and strong.
• To have more energy.
• To have a flatter stomach and firm arms.
•  To lower my stress levels.

Today:

• I still struggle with the beautiful part. I think that’s a hard one for women, but I feel so strong; physically and mentally. It is 100% true that if the mind can imagine it, the body can achieve it.
• My energy levels are out of this world after I’ve workout. When I miss one, I definitely feel like a slug.
• I’ve gotten firmer! At about week 5, I started looking in the gym mirror to see my arm muscles; not just to check form. Taking pictures at every leg of the journey has been so revealing. At week 11 or 12, I took a picture of my mid-section and I saw abs galore!!!! So many abs that I did a happy dance right in my bathroom.  Not to mention, I was trying on a new sundress for my husband to yay or nay and I went to suck in my stomach like I’ve always done and there was nothing to suck in. We both laughed. And, I have more definition than I had in those cheerleading photos and no longer have to paint on abs!
• My stress is still there! I wish I could say this program makes it go away, but it doesn’t. However, I’m better able to handle the stuff that comes flying at me now.
• I’m being taken off of my blood pressure medicine!!!!
• I have no hip pain!

Something that I was warned about prior to starting this program which I didn’t entirely believe until it happened was that there would be naysayers. I used to care so much about what others thought of me often defining who I was by what people said. Completing this program and my first 5K taught me that when you do something good, really good and you know how much it took to accomplish it, you get an inner peace that no one can shake.

During our interview, Micah asked me what was next. Well, I’ve always said “If Broadway calls, I’m outta here!” But, in the meantime, my plans are to maintain the results I have by eating clean and working out regularly, going back to ballet; running my first 10K, and helping my kids, family, and friends to achieve their health goals.

If you think you’re stuck and that this could never happen to you, I get it! I was there! Stop waiting for the right time or right combination of circumstances to make a change. Make the time right, now! Its so easy to hide behind a blanket of extra fluff. Its like a security blanket from our realities, but once those layers get shed, we become stronger and better able to face or change those realities. I was intimidated by the level of discipline and commitment required by Hitch Fit. I started making small changes before I knew in my heart I was ready for this. My advice, make a few small changes and contact Hitch Fit. It’s a safe place for people who want to make changes and might be a little scared of the process. Time after time they have proven it can be done! And they not only create successful transformations but clients for life! If I can do it, you can too.

SO excited to share with you one of Hitch Fit Trainers Sean Van Horn Personal transformation.  He just got Picked as the Bodybuilding.com transformation of the Week.  Seans Shares his story with everyone-

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/body-transformation-peak-physique.html

Why I Got Started

I attended the 2007 KC Natural Gold’s Classic where I met Lee Larson (personal trainer and bodybuilder).

At that time I was about 220 pounds with 30% body fat and hadn’t worked out since high school for football.

I loved what I saw at the show and spent the next four years eating and training and living like a bodybuilder.

Lee taught me what working out was really all about, leaving me crawling out of the gym more sore than I ever thought imaginable.

After spending a few years bulking up I decided spring of 2011 to get ready for my first competition and coincidently it was the one I attended 4 years prior.

So I started my pre-contest 20 weeks out around April of 2011 for my show Sept 17th.

How I Did It

I first made the decision that no matter what happened I would compete.

And boy was I challenged with obstacles! But I stayed focused and come show day I was ready and took 1st in Novice Tall, 1st in Novice Overall and 3rd in Open Tall for my very first show.

The NANBF Natural KC Gold’s Classic is arguably the most competitive show in that organization in the U.S! He is competing Soon in the Muscle Model Category at the Wbff in Kansas City agaisnt some of the best atlent in the nation!!! His Advise for someone looking to step on stage-Find a good coach who knows nutrition and knows how to pose! You might be able to do it on your own, but mentally it’s much better to have another set of eyes helping you out.

HITCH FIT- 

Sean Met with Diana and I In 2011 explaining the fact that he had a high paying job but was not happy where he was.  He wanted to be a trainer and be apart of something that he could change peoples lives.  Diana and I had him start soon after and he has made an amazing transition into now waking up Happy, making a great living and helping 100′s of people!!!

Most Beautiful Women in our History!!!

Regular strength training will:

**help you in day to day activities around the house and in your yard. It will keep you independent which is especially important in the older population. Imagine not being able to lift a 5 pound bag of flour or take the garbage out by yourself.

**lower the risk of osteoporosis, hypertension and diabetes.

**help you avoid lower back pain.

**increase bone density which is important for post-menopausal women.

**increase muscle mass which burns more calories throughout the day than an equal amount of fat.

Even with all these benefits, many people are reluctant to start training with weights. Concerns include injury, incorrect form and for women; not wanting to grow muscles and look like a man.

If you are a beginner and have no idea what you are doing either start with the circuit type machines or take an aerobic class that involves weights so you can become acquainted with how to do the different exercises.  Another great way of feeling more comfortable is bringing a friend to workout with you.  If you are not 100% sure how to do a movement either asks for help of skip it until you figure it out, you want to put yourself out of any sort of injury risk. If you want to stick with the machines, know that they will give you the same benefits as free weights.

Sometimes when we think of being healthy, we think of eating and running. While these are important, strength training should never be left out. Strength training provides benefits to your health that cannot be found with any other mode of exercise and shouldn’t be forgotten.

Next time you’re at the gym head over to the weights side of things and try doing a circuit.  2-3 sets of each exercise 15 reps with a weight that is not too easy but also not so heavy you cannot accomplish the 15 reps.

The Chocolate Easter Egg Blues

With Easter just passing I have already got a bunch of emails with people upset because they splurged for Easter Weekend and their scale went up. If you eat poorly your body will react and the scale will show it. There is a difference between someone having one little chocolate peanut butter filled candy treat and someone eating every Cadbury Egg in the house. I always explain to people on holidays treat yourself but not so much that it sets you backs for days or even weeks.

Here are 3 quick tips to ensure that you don’t have the Weight Gain Blues.

Moderation- Moderation is the key during holiday eating. Most anything in moderation is fine, its ok to have a few bites of the cake just don’t eat the whole cake. Its ok to have a glass of wine just don’t drink the whole bottle of wine. You get my point. If you are eating healthy on a regular basis then sometimes having a small cheat meal can actually bump up your metabolism, so it’s not always a bad thing. Do not take this out of context though, Im not saying to cheat on your diet all the time. My advice is to stay clear of it all during times of body transformation What becomes an issue is now you have a taste for something and your body is going to crave it. . Many of these things are the reason you got to where you are now!! Food is many peoples Crutch or where they feel they go during times of emotion. Food tastes great but you have to gear your mind into thinking food as nothing more the fuel. Once you do food will never be an issue again.

Pre/Post-Holiday Workout- A great way to start a holiday is with a good workout in the am before going to your lunch or dinner or even after. This will ensure that you are burning good calories and even post workout if you do some interval style cardio. Getting that workout in early or after will keep your mind more focused on the fact that you have health and visual goals on the line. Doing it early means being prepared, many times people do it after because of Guilt (I should not of ate that , now Ill go workout to make up for it) All that hard work does not need to go to waste. If you do end up splurging a bit then at least you got a good workout in that day and have a chance of burning some of it off.

Control the Uncontrollable- How often do we go to Holiday Dinners and the Host catered to our way of eating? Not very often. Typically the table is filled with lots of goodies that surely would taste amazing going down but the thought of 2-3 hours of cardio to make up for one meal just doesn’t seem worth it. Prepare your food in advance. You can either eat before you go then only have a small plate of anything that is there that will not set you back or bring your own food. At this point most everyone close to you knows that you have decided to make some changes in your life so just let the host know that you could not be happier being with everyone there but have to eat accordingly to your goals!!! It always shocks me when someone writes telling me they had to eat the food “ So your telling me someone force fed you the cake”? Lets be honest with ourselves, we ate the food because it looked good not because we were forced too!!! Once you get yourself in Amazing shape you can splurge a little bit more. Your body is running faster, burning more calories and its easier to stay fit. When you are in tough situations like this just always focus on what is the best choice and what choices are going to enable you to get to your goals!!!

I hope Each of you are focusing on bettering yourselves and I want nothing more then for all of you to be Fit and Healthy!  Reach out to us if you ever have questions and if you are Ready to Start Your journey with Hitch Fit Check out the links Below

Andrews Story and Advice to YOU

“Hi, my name is Andrew.  I’m an Australian expat working and living in the Middle East.  I’ve just completed 20 weeks on a Hitchfit plan and wanted to take the time to share my experience and hopefully inspire someone else to do the same.  When I contacted Micah, I weighed 281.3lbs and was 35.3% bodyfat, I’m 6’3″ tall and 41 years old.

In my younger days I was a very fit guy, I played senior men’s basketball semi-professionally in Australia until my mid-20′s and always prided myself on being someone who trained very hard to get the best out of himself.  I rarely took nutrition seriously however, I just trained so much that I was able to get away with eating pretty much whatever I wanted.  Once it became clear that I wouldn’t be making a career out of basketball and cut back on the training my weight gained rapidly and was I never in control of it again, until now.

I basically spent the next 15 years always talking about and trying to lose weight/get in shape but my weight was just continually going up over time.  In 2009, I mentally hit rock bottom and my weight was up to 323lbs.  My old trainer at my local gym had moved to a small boutique gym which specialised in personal training so I contacted her and committed to a 6 month contract to get serious about achieving results.  It went great for the first 2 months, I lost 26lbs and hadn’t felt so good about myself in a long time.  At this time I landed a job in the Middle East which required me to leave Australia at short notice. Apart from leaving friends and family the hardest part for me was leaving before I had finished my weight loss journey.  I tried to hit the ground running once I moved abroad and continue with my diet and training but it was terribly difficult and the pressure of starting a new job and moving my family to a new country was overwhelming to say the least.  I eventually fell back into old habits and while I maintained a weight about 10lbs lighter than when I left Australia I was back on the yo-yo training/diet lifestyle.  I would change my diet, my workout routine, my supplements, you name it every 3-4 weeks and couldn’t stick at it any of it for longer than a month.

Then in September last year two things happened in quick succession which got me off this path and where I am today.  My job requires me to be certified by a medical doctor every 2 years for safety reasons, late last year during that process the doctor told me my BMI was very high(which I knew) and that they were getting stricter with people in this category and I would have to have my cholesterol checked to be cleared to work.  Basically my entire livelihood was dependent on that test.  I passed the test but vowed to never be in that position again.  Around the same time I was a regular visitor to bodybuilding.com(where else was I gonna get my new diet and program every 3 weeks right? This is where I came across the transformation story of Chad Evans.  It was the 2nd or 3rd Hitchfit success story I’d seen featured on the site but Chad’s was the one that just completely blew me away and gave me the one thing I needed above everything else, hope.  I’d gotten to a point where I’d started to believe that you could put on so much bodyfat that some of it would be impossible to lose, it was just irreparable damage I had done to my body over time.  Chad’s transformation blew that theory right out of the water.  He didn’t just lose weight, he seemingly turned back the clock which is exactly what I knew I needed to do.

Andrews Inspiration- Chad Evans

My fantastic wife has always been so supportive and patient trying to help me get out of my slump and get some real results but even she was skeptical when I asked for hundreds of dollars for ANOTHERworkout program.  I eventually convinced her, but the look on her face said it all.  If I didn’t get it done this time, I was going to lose her belief that I ever could.  It was back-against-the-wall time for me but I was confident that getting a program and diet designed specifically for me and my goals was exactly what I needed.  I just needed a plan that I could follow without having to think about it, I just had to go out and execute.

From that point on my life has changed completely, it’s just been milestone after milestone for the last 20 weeks.  I’ve achieved so much more than I hoped for when I first contacted Micah, not in my wildest dreams did I think I could get this far this soon.  Not only that, but it’s not a quick fix that I’ve achieved, I have completely changed my lifestyle.  I originally committed to 16 weeks on the plan, I was petrified at the thought of having to stick to a diet for so long.  At the end I couldn’t wait for it to finish so I could start a new diet and workout regimen to move on to what I consider Phase 2 of my transformation.  This is just a part of who I am now.  Along the way I’ve gotten so many fantastic compliments from friends and colleagues, the look some people give you when they know who you are but you can see part of their brain is telling them this person before should be 60lbs heavier is just priceless!  My relationship with my family has never been better, my wife and 2 daughters are the presidents of my fan club and I couldn’t have done it without their love and support.  Just the feeling I get when I see how my wife looks at me now, I can’t describe with mere words.  I bought a pair of Levi’s (size 40″) in 1999 that I couldn’t fit into with the goal of losing weight to wear them.  Well I never did until now, I was hoping I could fit into them by the end of my program.  Well I started wearing them at about the 9 or 10 week mark and now they are kinda too big for me!  Last night I went out for a celebration dinner with friends and my new 38′s are pretty loose now so I’m heading out shopping today for some 36′s!

Hitchfit is not a quickfix, gimmicky fad diet.  It’s a complete education.  I liken it to a university degree.  Unless you turn up to the lectures and study in your own time, you’ll get nothing out of it.  But if you commit to it, it will set you up for life in my opinion.  Micah was so patient, helpful and encouraging every step of the way.  Without having him to report to and receive feedback from every week I may not have got it done.  Just having someone that supportive to help you along is truly invaluable and I dare say it was the difference for me.   If you’re reading this now and in a similar situation to where I was at the beginning, just know it’s never too late and it’s not impossible.  I would suggest that the fact you are reading this means that deep down you still have the belief you can get it done, you can!  Do it, I promise your life will never be the same.

I cannot thank Micah and Diana enough for what they have given me and my family.  My family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.”

Nikkis Testimonial

My journey starts a little different from most people, I was already in ok shape with a mostly healthy diet. I was going to the gym 5 days a week but my problem was, I, was so confused with all the conflicting information about nutrition and workout plans. I had no clue what I should be doing in the gym to obtain the physique I was striving for. I had no idea of how much or how often I should be eating to benefit my gym work. I had tried a couple of programs but none of them worked for me. Overall I felt that I should be getting far greater results from the time that I was spending in the gym, I was obviously doing something wrong as I couldn’t get the muscle definition I was striving for. My motivation for exercise was lacking, I was bored at the gym, my energy levels were sluggish and my diet was slipping.

My boyfriend Martin mentioned HitchFit to me and after viewing clients transformations I immediately knew that this program was the one that would  get me over my plateau and provide the motivation that I needed. Martin bought me the HitchFit fitness model couples program for my birthday- we were in this together!.  The day Martin and I moved in together was the day we started our HitchFit transformation and our new life together. Micah provided me with a personalised gym program, personalised eating plan and a maintenance plan and after looking at the program which Micah had created for me I knew the next 12 weeks were going be INTENSE.  I’m a midwife and start work at 7 or 8am which meant I was up and at the gym at 4am in the morning training 6 days a week often for 3 hrs on my weights days. I started my shifts feeling shattered but in a good way. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of energy I had  throughout the day. Each week I did 2 massive cook ups for both Martin and myself which I found easier than trying to prepare food everyday. Each week at the supermarket I people were often curious about the contents of my shopping trolley, I was buying litres of egg whites and 2 kilos of white fish, 5kg of chicken breast and copious amounts of broccoli. So I would start my spiel about my HitchFit transformation, which was retold over and over again throughout the 12 weeks as people noticed my changes and started asking questions.

During my HitchFit journey I was faced with a few challenges, I hurt my knee at week  4 which forced me to rethink my choice of cardio,  I came down with a cold that slowed me down for a week and my body struggled trying to adapt to the final 6 weeks of carb cycling. I pushed through all the boundaries that were put in front of me with the help and support of Martin and encouraging emails from Micah.  I encountered people who just couldn’t understand why I had chosen to sign up with HitchFit, they thought I was already “thin enough”,. No matter how hard I tried to explain that Hitch was not a diet it was a lifestyle change and for me it was about  learning how my body worked and what it needed to function optimally, to feel healthier and happier and  gain muscle definition. For me this was not a weight loss program. I found myself talking to a brick wall, so I had to sift through my friends family and work colleagues to find the support I needed to complete the program.

 I woke up one morning and realised I had finally conquered the goals I had set out to achieve throughout the 12 week transformation.  I found myself smiling and giggling everytime I looked down at my new 6 pack. I still wake up and check it is still there and that it is not just a dream. I can pump out 50 push ups compared with 23 at the start, I can finally pump out a few chin ups……I’m still working on reaching 10!! I feel alive again, my motivation for the gym has returned, my energy levels have returned, I’m happier and feel healthier than ever.

I could not have done this without the support of Martin, his mum Rosa and partner Dave and everyone at work who put up with my ups and downs and watched on in curiosity as my diet and body changed  each week. Thanks to Micah and Diana I am now officially HitchFit!!

MARTINS TESTIMONIAL

G’day, I emigrated to Australia in May 2009 on my own and prior to participating in a HitchFit plan I had been feeling down, not so much missing friends and family back in England but just down in myself. I don’t believe Nikki (my girlfriend) has seen the best in me since we got together. I came across Micah & Diana’s HitchFit through a youtube clip that was sent to me. Nikki and I sat down, viewed the site and sent off our FIRST of many emails. Micah replied straight away with answers to our questions. The punctuality from Micah and the detailed response made us realize that teaming up with HitchFit, would bring the best out in our bodies but most importantly the best out in ourselves.

I am a self employed Carpenter and run my own business, up at 3:45am each day, on site till 4pm, gym, dinner and then into the office to do paper work, the amount of gym work I was going to have to commit to was going to put a lot of stress on me personally but I needed to make this change happen.

As mentioned I was feeling low, I had tried a few other fitness plans with a small amount of detail to nutrition but none had worked for me. I have always been a pretty good eater, more so clean in my diet but  to burn fat, build muscle you need to be eating 100% correctly 99.9% of the time if not all the time. The HitchFit plan has all the right attributes, when contacting Micah and Diana, I knew they were genuine people that cared about me and my transformation, no nonsense, they told me what to expect, they would commit to me and I would need to give 100% commitment and maintain a never give up attitude.

Nikki and I chose a Couples Fitness Model plan, we chose this as we both wanted the same kind of look and we knew there would be times we would rely on each other. We were in this together from start to finish. I suffer with tendonitis in both elbows badly and Sciatica which stops me from doing any kind of running and most cardio. These injuries were going to be the biggest test in my commitment, especially when training legs as I couldn’t even manage 1 calf raise on my right side and with the amount of cardio I needed to do. I was also going to have to get through a mates engagement party, a music festival and another mates bucks party without drinking any alcohol.

I was excited to start my plan but I had numerous injuries and illness along the way, week one I got the dreaded man flu – 4 days off), week three I hurt my back 1 week off, week five I hurt my back again – 1 week off, week eight I twisted my knee – 1 week off, week eleven I hurt my back but refused to stop as I was into the last week. I never once gave up, if there was one thing Micah taught me, it is to think positive. I would remain positive throughout my plan. The diet for me was pretty easy, food should be looked at as fuel, luckily Nikki sorted out my meals, which allowed me to concentrate on my work so I could get into bed as early as possible.

Even though I lost possibly a total of 4 weeks training along the way, I am happy at my transformation, I feel as though I am back to my best, I have more energy and look good. People in the gym have been commenting on my progress and obviously I have been spreading the word of HitchFit. I can now do 12 unassisted calf raises on my right leg ….RESULT. There are a few people I would like to thank, these people stood by me throughout my journey. Firstly, Micah & Diana, they were always at the end of an email, they gave me advice and remained positive even when I emailed to say I was injured AGAIN!! Ha ha, I am already looking forward to working with HitchFit in the future, Micah, you’re a legend. Michael & Minouru @ Zen Acupuncture, Paul @ Subiaco Sports Massage,  Mum and Dave who I spoke to each weekend on skype, they were always keen to hear how each week went. My mates for not pestering me to have a drink or eat away from my diet. Most importantly though I have to say a HUGE thank you to Nikki, she was my rock from day one, I love her so much and without her, I may have cracked. I am happy to finally say, I am HITCHFIT J.
