Chalk'd Fitness

Fantastic experience: I started the 6 weeks program after meeting with Kevin & writing down my goal. Coach Pam provided me with my a nutrition plan to follow including a breakdown of daily consumption, foods to eat & amount, foods to avoid, & a grocery list. he first week, I was logging my daily meals on the Wodify app & Pam was giving me feedback as to what improvements to make to help me achieve my goal. As far the nutrition went this program took care of all questions. They also provided me with a Cook Book of recipes which contained a protein pancake recipe that I have been eating every day for the past 3 weeks. It has become my main breakfast, it is feeling, full of protein, flavor, & keeps me from having to snack before lunch. Other resources for nutrition included: travel tips for meal prep, & restaurant sheet guide. As far as coaching & workouts, Coach Carter took time every day to design our workouts daily. He logs them in the Wodify app so we're able to see the workouts a day before class so it takes the guessing & nervousness away. Once in class Coach Jenn, Coach Chandler, Coach Pam, or Coach Carter made sure to explain, demonstrate, & have us practice each movement before the workout. I like the amount of time we spend warming up & getting the right movements before the workout & how fun, do-able, yet challenging each workout is. It's by far not repetitive at all so you’re constantly fighting the muscle memory. My most intimidating moment was flipping a 150lbs tire... I did it 15 times! & next workout I went for a 170 lbs. tire, great full body workout; it became my favorite. I didn't even know how much you can get out of a kettlebell until joining this program. I even bought my own to workout at home using the at home workout tips, exercises, & 7 minutes in heaven workout provided. First week, I felt as if this was beyond my capabilities. 3 Days workouts a week felt very difficult, but by week 3 I chose to workout 4-5 days a week with them. This is very do-able, you just have to believe that you can do it & put all you have into it because you're worth it. Yesterday we were doing push ups, air squats, med ball carry - by the 3rd round I was ready to quit. Coach Mark didn't think I should be. I ended up completing 7 full rounds & got home with enough energy to install an a/c unit lol. The coaches are awesome. The Facebook group is phenomenal, everyone is so supportive, sharing recipes, tips, & coordinating workouts. I've met many challengers & worked as teams with them & each pushed me to do better. There was not a day I left without sweat. I feel stronger, more agile, & I feel wonderful about my body changes. I am much slimmer, lost 7.2 lbs and 6.3% BMI which has made a huge difference on my shoulder, arms, and stomach area. My eating habits have completely changed. I eat more fruits, vegetables, organic food, & enjoy the meal prep for the week as it does make it a lot easier to get ready for work. It’s a program that works if you do the work.
