A client testimonial, from Ron, merley the hardest worker I have ever of had the pleasure to train...
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”
As a KIN major and Sports Massage Therapist, I am no stranger to exercise prescription & rehabilitation. But when I hit a point in my training that had me going nowhere, I walked into SNAP Fitness and accidently stumbled upon Jamie.
Everything I knew, about training and myself, changed the day I walked out of my final session with Jamie. For two weeks, I willingly became the student and let Jamie work his SRXFIT philosophy.
This is what I learned:
1. Jamie is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to exercise, nutrition and fitness. It is knowledge that he delivers in a straight up, simple and no bullshit way. Jamie is willing to share his wisdom. Do not be afraid to PICK HIS BRAIN!!!
2. SRXFIT sessions are UNCOMFORTABLE. This may not be what you’re looking for. After all, familiarity and routine are safer. But I encourage you to embrace the unknown. Every workout changes from session to session. The combined exercises are never the same. Not knowing what to expect is the best part. Get UNCOMFORTABLE and ENJOY the RIDE!!!
3. There is no reward in anything that comes easy. It’s easy to stop. But harder to finish. It’s true. Every session, I found myself on the floor, drowning in my sweat and begging for air. But I never felt more triumphant. Knowing that you finished is the best feeling in the world, even if you can’t figure out your name.
4. If Jamie isn’t talking, he’s listening to you. To this day, it is the BEST QUALITY I have ever had in a trainer.
5. Unlike most trainers who have always had the end result we desire, Jamie understands, firsthand, the journey and the struggle you undergo to get there. Jamie knows where you are coming from and knows the amount of work that goes into achieving your weight loss or strength goals.
6. WHY ARE YOU HERE? You will find yourself asking this, especially on the 50th repetition of an exercise. Regardless of your answer, think about what brings you in everyday. Hold that answer in your head, stare it in the face and force yourself to dig deeper. When you do, congratulate yourself on being one step closer to your answer.
7. CALORIES IN versus CALORIES OUT. That’s it. That’s all it will ever be.
8. People will look at you and think you’re crazy. I assure you, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY!!! Chances are what you are already doing is something they still don’t have the courage to try.
9. If it’s an exercise you hate, it will unfortunately yield the best results. Swearing usually gets you through it. Swearing at Jamie will ensure completion.
10. Never ever underestimate the power and sense of accomplishment you can feel when you fit into your “skinny jeans”. You may be a better athlete, you might have better conditioning or you claim you’re just doing it for fun. But there’s nothing wrong with doing it just for vanity purposes.
I lost 14lbs in 14 days. I beat all of my ONE MAX repetitions by 50lbs and I fit into my skinny jeans. Furthermore, I have lost an additional 17lbs since. I mentioned that I accidently met Jamie but it was no accident.
I am student of Jamie’s for life. I encourage you to do the same. You won’t be sorry.
