Join The Champions Comeback Club for "Practice" this week.
RSVP HERE: https://championscomebackclub.com/home-page-4116-4787-2099-3961

These are group workouts for former athletes who can't believe they miss practice. :) It’s more than just a workout; it’s a journey back to the essence of what made you a champion. Whether you’re a former athlete or someone looking to challenge yourself, our evening sessions provide a unique opportunity to reconnect with the joy of training and the camaraderie of working alongside others who share your passion.

Workout Schedule:
Mondays & Wednesdays: Strength Training
Location: Elevate Fitness
Address: 8869 W. 75th St., Overland Park, KS 66204

Tuesdays & Thursdays: Conditioning Workouts
Location: The Priority Fitness Lab
Address: 4932 Ballentine St., Shawnee, KS 66203

Why "Practice"? Many former athletes often find themselves surprised at how much they miss the daily grind of practice—those hours spent pushing limits, sweating, laughing, and striving for improvement. It’s in those moments that the real magic happens: the friendships forged, the lessons learned, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

"Practice" is about embracing that process once again. It’s a reminder that every rep, every drill, and every drop of sweat contributes to your journey—not just in fitness, but in life. Join us as we celebrate the hard work and dedication that define true champions.

Ready to Get Started? We invite you to experience "Practice" firsthand with a FREE week of workouts! RSVP and get more information Here: https://championscomebackclub.com/home-page-4116-4787-2099-3961

If you have struggled to stay consistent with your fitness routine, it may be because what you're doing doesn't really fit your life right now.

What you do for fitness gas to fit your life. If it doesn't fit, it won't be there very long.

How Does Fitness Fit Right Now?
🤔🏃‍♀️🤔🏋‍♂️
Over the last 20 years in personal training, I have helped a lot of people, of all different ages and fitness levels, reach lots of different goals. 
🚴‍♂️❤️🚴

I believe my strength and passion is in helping people re-establish how fitness fits in their life after a life change disrupts their routines.  It’s the inevitable changes we go through in life that cause us to put fitness off to the side. It is normal to find yourself in a time of your life where you feel like you have no time for fitness, and it becomes something you plan to get to later. 
💯💪💯

As life changes, the way fitness fits in our life has to change along with it. When you are in your early 20’s, it is likely that you have time to workout for 2 hours a day 5 days a week if you want to. However, once you are in your late 30’s or older, you most likely don’t have near the time or the energy to spend on fitness.  Your life is just different now. You may have a job with much more responsibilities, you may be married with kids, there are just many more things that demand your energy and time than earlier in your life. The amount of time we have available to dedicate towards our fitness plan changes throughout our life.
🙃🙃🙃

It is when we try to approach our fitness plan like we used to, instead of how it fits in the present, that we struggle to find time for it at all.  I help people figure out how it fits in the life they are living right now. 

Would you like help figuring out how fitness fits in your life?

If you're a man who is a former athlete, and now busy professional, who feels like you are constantly struggling to lose that last 20 lbs to reclaim your glory day athletic body...trust me I feel you.

Because that is the fight I was in for years.

But since I started using my 4-step G.A.I.N Formula, I have been able to maintain the fitness level I desire that makes me the most confident about myself. Most importantly, I've been able to do this without having to sacrifice any priceless family time.

I'm looking for 5 men who would be willing to help me in making my new program, so we can help more guys reclaim the body, and confidence, they had when they were athletes. This won't take more that 5 minutes, and just for completing this short survey, I'll give you a $10 starbucks gift card.

If you are interested and would be willing, just comment YES or send me a DM.

Unpopular Opinion: It's ok to give up.

Let me clarify my stance on this a bit. I'm not saying it's ok to give up on reaching your goals. I would never let a client or myself do that. It is ok to give up on what's not working.

Sometimes in order to find success you just have to give up on what's not working. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. We tend to fear change, so making changes is hard. If something worked for us in the past, no matter how long ago that was, we have a tough time abandoning it.

What worked for you in the past may not work for you at all now, because your life is different. Always remember that what you do for fitness has to fit in your life. If you are having a tough time staying consistent and getting results, it may just be time for some changes.

Don't give up on reaching your goals...Give up on the game plan that isn't working.

Last weekend I was able to attend my first Unleash the Power Within event. It was an incredible event designed to help attendees overcome their biggest limiting beliefs that hold them back in life. If you ever get the chance to attend one of these I highly recommend it.
