"Before I entered the program I knew I needed help. I had the motivation but wasn't able/willing to challenge myself enough and in the right way. I had let myself go after an accident in 2020 and had reached a point where I wanted to improve, become stronger.. become healthier. The first eye-opener in the program was to have someone expect me to put effort into it, follow the training schedule, and eat a healthy balanced diet, tracking my protein, carbs, and fat intake. The next eye-opener was something as simple as drinking water, almost immediately after beginning drinking one gallon of water per day, I felt better. Throughout the process accountability has been a keyword, it has been and is important for me to know that TJ is holding me accountable for my progress through weekly check-in calls, based on my reports to him. Periodic changes in the program with different and more demanding routines, but also reduction of intensity when needed, have kept the training balanced and ensured progress. And finally, I now feel more responsible and completely invested in the process. My favorite aspects are always having access to help and guidance, and the positive motivation TJ provides."
