Body Transformation: Micah LaCerte Turned His Body Into A Brand

Diana and I have had one of the most insane years of our life, hosting a Wbff Show in Kansas City, Getting Married, Photo shoots, Running 2 businesses and Prepping ourselves for the Wbff Worlds!! Like everything in life you have to keep your priorities straight and regardless of how busy you get you can still get yourself into amazing shape. We are so thankful to all of you that have followed our progress throughout and have been such a positive support system. Anyone who has ever stepped on stage knows how difficult it is not only physically but mentally. Diana will be stepping on the Pro Diva Fitness Model stage where last year she finished 4th. This year I will be stepping on the Pro Muscle Model Stage, last year I competed in The Fitness Model Category where I placed 5th in the World. This year is different for both of us, we put competition #1 on our priority list and we have come in the best shape of our lives for this show.

MARKS STORY

For most of my child and teen years I was overweight and out of shape. Upon starting my freshman year at college in 2007, Zumba® Fitness entered and forever changed my life. I finally lost all the weight I had struggled to get off for many years. I became so motivated and inspired by it that I decided to attend a certification with the creator Beto Perez. For the next 3 years I taught Zumba® Fitness classes all throughout my city inspiring others, and changing the lives of thousands of people.

After all the success I had experienced I started to sway off the path last year. With the duties and stresses of starting my senior year at college, while teaching my Zumba® classes the weight started to pack on very quickly. Though I  may have been getting my cardio workouts in I was not lifting weights or eating properly. Even though I knew it was wrong at the time, my mind would tell me that it was ok to eat whatever I wanted as long as I exercised. Before I knew it I looked and felt like a very different person than I  once was.

I was about to start my final semester of college and I knew that if I stayed on the path I was on that I would hit rock bottom. Then in what I consider fate, I found Micah’s website: Hitchfit. I knew pills or magic machines weren’t going to give me the results I wanted. I needed someone to hold me accountable, and to provide a plan for me to stick to. Micah promised I would reach my goals as long as I followed the plan, worked hard and focused. Within the first week I could already feel the difference in my energy level. I found it funny that I was eating much more food than I was before and yet I was in better shape than I ever had been in. I was so happy every week to tell Micah about how much better I felt and looked. It was amazing to have the support of a true fitness pro during my journey to answer any questions I had.

Hitchfit isn’t about tricks or short term results, it’s about a lifestyle change that last a lifetime. With the help of Micah I was able to push myself beyond what I thought was possible. I now have more knowledge, experience and renewed energy to continue to help motivate and inspire others. I will never go back to the unhealthy foods I once loved, the new Mark is here to stay.

Thank you Micah for all that you have done for me! You have truly changed my life!

RYANS FULL STORY-

I get clients that come in from time to time that are already in good shape, have been working out for awile but just cannot seem to get their body to that top level.  This is where I go in and tweak everything.  Ryan from day 1 worked his tail off switched his style of eating, style of training and lifestyle and this is what happened.  COVER MODEL SHAPE.. Amazing buddy.  In May of 2011 Im hoping he will step on stage at the Wbff Show in the Fitness Model Category, he has the body and face to do very well.  Also ladies this guy is single.. I had to throw that plug in , its why they originally gave me the nickname Hitch!!

I was introduced to the Hitch Fit family by two of my friends, Gwen Merino and Brandi Wisdom, both of whom had their lives transformed by Micah. I saw what he had done for their lives and began following Micah on Facebook. Once I began following Micah I became more and more intrigued and inspired to change my own life.

See How Ryan got in Fitness Model Shape-

Prior to beginning with Micah, I didn’t understand why I couldn’t achieve the results that I wanted out of my body. I worked out regularly and took high dollar supplements – thinking that was what it took. My diet and lifestyle were collectively terrible. My typical day of nutrition was skipping breakfast and eating out for lunch and dinner. Now, after my time with Micah, I know how truly ignorant I was in my approach to reaching my goals.

Micah laid the foundation of our plan at our first meeting and gave me my new nutrition plan. I have to admit, while I knew my eating habits were going to change, I was somewhat overwhelmed. Once I began my meal plan, I was actually eating about twice as much as I used to, however, I was eating things that were good for my body instead of destroying it. At first the eating was very difficult. But very quickly my body adapted and would almost let me know like an alarm clock when it was time to eat.

During my first workout I thought I was going to die. Micah pushes you beyond what you think you can do. My typical day in the gym (before Micah) would be to do a set, talk for a couple minutes with friends, walk to the drinking fountain, then head back for another. Micah taught me intensity and focus while in the gym. The talking and goofing around can be done after the workout…put headphones on.

During my time with Micah at Hitch Fit I have learned a lifestyle that I will be able to maintain for the rest of my life. The program is not a six month yo yo diet. You learn things that change you inside and out forever. As equally important to me as the things Micah has taught me is the friendship that I’ve gained. Micah, Diana, James and whole Hitch Fit team are a family and they treat you as a member of their family. I thank Micah for the knowledge he has provided me and I look forward to the future working with him and having him as a friend.

TRANSFORM YOURSELF TODAY!!

Diana Chaloux and myself had the great opportunity of bringing the Wbff to the Us for the very 1^st fully run Wbff show.  We had worked nearly 6 months putting everything together making sure that this would be one of the very best shows that anyone in this area had ever seen.  I went into the show wanting quality athletes over quanity, we ended up getting both with nearly 200 athletes on stage.

We had the event at the Midland Theater which is a very Rich and Beautiful Venue, fitting for an event to this level.  We had Fox 4 and Kctv 5 covering the event as well as Kansas City Magazine.

CHANNEL 4 and 5 NEWS

We had the opportunity of introducing the New Category Muscle Model in the male division which was a huge success.  They granted 5 pro cards because the level of talent was simply amazing.  This new category will features guys that you would see in magazines like Status Fitness or Reps, a bigger fitness model.  It was a very fun category to watch.

CHECK OUT THE MUSCLE MODELS

The male fitness lineup was one of the very best male lineups I have ever seen since I have been in the sport with over 40 athletes on stage, the judges granted 4 pro cards which has also never been done.  Many of the guys that came out of Kansas City will do very well at Pro Level.

On Our Female side of things some very beautiful new talent came out of the Bikini, Fitness Model and Figure divisions.  Looking forward to seeing these ladies on stage at pro level.

I told all the athletes that many people lives would be changed that night many of these people didn’t even place.  Status Fitness Magazine gave over 20 photo shoots to different athletes, Fit and Firm will be featuring many athletes and Kansas City Fitness has things lined up with many competitors.

Some of the very best photographers in the business were there setting up shoots to get these athletes even more exposure including Don Bersano, G.W. Burns, David Bickley, Coach A, Noel Daganta  and Lhgfx.

For our Performer we had an Michael Jackson Dancer named Matt Czech.  One word to describe what him and his crew did.. AMAZING..

Will be very exciting to see everyone at the worlds!!!!

In life we go through things I call uncontrollables, such as a family member dying, slipping and breaking your arm, getting laid off at work. These are all things that we have no control over and can at times put us into a state of depression, stress and negativity. I wanted to share a story about myself that happened in August of 2009  in which I had an uncontrollable situation occur having all of these sorts of feeling and negative urges yet in the end it all turned out positive.

So let’s rewind to May 2009. Diana had said she planned on competing at the Wbff World Championships and asked if it was something I wanted to do. My first reaction was no. It’s not my thing, I do not have the passion for it and how will I fit the time in. After about 2-3 weeks I decided I wanted to go for it. I was competing in the Male Fitness category. I would have to get my mind and body connected in a way to not only look the best I could but mentally be as strong as I could be. To those of you who have competed you understand how physically and mentally draining it can be. I started training very hard and switching my diet. About 8 weeks before the we got a huge opportunity; it was time to Open Hitch Fit Gym here in Kansas City. I knew I would have to put my Training on the backburner for about 2-3 weeks because we had to flip the gym head to toe with new paint, floors, signs, equipment, everything. We were working 16-20 hours a day during that period of time and did not have the time to train properly or stick on the diet I needed to. We got through that and started finding the balance again.

Then the Unthinkable happened, On August 27th I woke up in the morning feeling very sick and one of my arms was about 2 inches bigger then the other. My first reaction was I thought I got bit by a poisonous spider. After a few days it was only getting worse. I was unable to sleep it was one of the most painful things i have ever gone though. I was left with no range of motion, I couldnt even scratch my head. I would wake up in the middle of the night sweating and with chills at the same time. I checked myself into a hospital. The Dr. didn’t really look at it and made a quick assumption. He scripted me some mild antibiotics and sent me on my way. After about 5 days of taking the meds I was still getting worse. I went from being able to bench press 380 lbs to not being able to do 1 pushup literally overnight. I refused to quit but I started questioning if this was going to keep me off stage. I got a second Dr. to look at it and she instantly said that is not a spider bite that is a staff infection and one of the worst ones she had ever seen. If not treated in a period of time you could lose your arm. She got me on the strongest antibiotic on the market and took great care in making sure it was working. The infection slowly started going away but I had all this excess fluid under my skin. I used to laugh and say I look like Popeye. After about 10 days it was still there and still had pain. At this point I felt there was no way I was going to be able to compete and almost pulled out. I was going to have to get cut open to get the infection and drain my arm. I would have to get stitches which meant that I could not get on stage because I could possibly re-infect it. The morning before the surgery I woke up and the infection was gone, it was like a miracle. My arm had 100% motion and I was able to do pushups. I got very emotional at that point because in a blink of an eye all my hard work getting ready for this show was wasted then the next blink I WAS BACK!!!!  Everyday I felt like quitting, but I knew it was the easy way out.  I never took that route nor could I look back and say I didnt give it my all.

From that day forward I worked my tail off training 3 times a day and got on a very strict diet. I had 13 days to get somewhat presentable on stage. I had to lean on many peoples shoulders through this few weeks, Diana was always a positive foundation for me, family, friends and clients all chipped in to keep me focused on what they knew I needed. I had a goal and I never quit. No matter if I had one arm or not I was going to step on stage. I remember working out with only the right side of my body and training my clients with one arm. I said well if I lose my arm then I will just have to market myself as the best 1 armed personal trainer/ fitness model in the world . I got my body to 192 lbs at about 4% body fat. I ended up finishing 8th out of 30 which I was very disappointed about the placing but also felt very accomplished with what I had overcome and actually getting myself on stage..

I was on stage with 30 of the top Fitness Models in the World but it was like the only person I was really competing against was myself. I was fighting to compete or not compete. I didn’t want the disappointment of losing and people saying better luck next time. This to me was not about everyone else. This was more about me fighting through what I did and beating it. I was chosen by Status Fitness Magazine to shoot for their publication and also become a writer for them.. Stepping on stage that night opened that door.  Every ounce of pain that I had to go through was worth it in the end.

What I did gain out of this experience was more then being able to step on stage. It was a personal victory for me. At times our minds have us thinking the worse, feeling like we cannot overcome something. I had those sorts of thoughts. Then when you say enough is enough, that is the point where you start progressing. Whatever you may be dealing with in your life, I promise you in time you too will step on stage and shine

If you are going through painful times try to keep your mind positive and work to get past it.  Believe that you can accomplish anything no matter what obstacle you have in front of you.   Its ok to have some worry, some set back, being discouraged, everyone has emotion but you have to be stronger then whatever is thrown at you!!!

Hope you have a wonderful week. How about this week you go for walk or start cutting some of the junk food out of your life. I promise you will feel better. We cannot control uncontrollable but we can day in day out make the best choices possible to better our lives
