My story is a little different than most transformation stories. I have been active most of my life
and continued to stay active. As I aged, however, it became more difficult to control my
weight. I modified my diet and tried different diets including Atkins, low carb, Keto with some
temporary improvement, but difficult to maintain long term wise. I used a personal trainer a
few years back, again, with temporary improvement, but the nutrition part of the program was
lacking in direction. As time went on, even though I was still active; I just resigned myself to
continue trying, but accepted the fact that my waist was getting thicker and my metabolism
was slowing down.

I have seen some posts about Hitch Fit on facebook and saw some of the results that were
posted on the site. I decided to give this a try. If this didn’t work, I would accept the fact that
age is winning my battle of the bulge.

I met with Micah at his gym and he asked me what my goals were, he then guided me through
the process and the length of time that it would take me to achieve those goals. I then
committed myself to give this program a try. Because of my schedule and some plans that
have already been made, I did not dive into this transformation with the goal of changing my
appearance in 12 or 16 weeks.

The most important change for me was nutrition. I had already tried to eat clean, but the main
change was the combination of nutrients and the time, as to when those nutrients, should be
consumed, that made the biggest difference. My wife and I traveled and took several
vacations while in the program, which definitely interfered with the process. Traveling alone
affects how the body functions, not to mention the food that you eat. Even though we tried to
make the best choices, we couldn’t control the manner as to how the food was prepared the
majority of the time. This, of course, interfered with the linear progression of the program.
However, this also made me realize how life would be after the transformation phase. The ups
and downs of not being able to eat 100% clean, 100% of the time, was a very valuable lesson
on managing every day life.

Working out was not new for me, but having Micah guide me and pushed through those
workouts was invaluable. There was always the tendency to stop an exercise when it became
uncomfortable. Fighting and pushing through the discomfort is actually where the biggest
gains are accomplished. Shorty after I started the program, I started to see some changes that
would make me want to keep achieving goals. The best thing about this experience was that I
did not just have a “trainer”, I had a guide, a friend and a mentor. The atmosphere at Hitch Fit
is one of friendship and motivation. From the day you walk in the Gym, everybody makes you
feel like they are rooting for you to succeed on this journey. There were words of
encouragement everyday from just about everybody.

This was not so much a program of transformation for me, but instead, a process of education.
It helped me understand that, even though, I was eating clean and exercising; I was not doing
it the right way. Small modifications on my nutrition and exercise made a huge difference on
my body composition. The pounds came off and the aesthetics of my body changed. The
best part is that I now have the tools and the knowledge to modify the nutrition and exercise,
to maintain my health and appearance long term
