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

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
