My recent fitness journey began in December 2019. Growing up I wasn't the most athletic kid, but I always had an athletic body. I loved to swim. I was either on a swim team or just swam laps on my own to stay fit. After I graduated college in 1996 and started full time work though, things changed. I no longer had the time to go to the pool like I used to. I became a desk jockey! In 2004, I was diagnosed with an extreme version of degenerative disc disease. I was told at the ripe old age of 32 that I had the back of a 100 year old. Not being able to be active caused me to slowly begin to gain weight. It was in

meditation practice and a science based tool that improves the quality of your sleep, increases your energy and enhances your performance during the day; Complimentary wine will be served after the event. Registration required.

December 2019 at almost 400 pounds that I had enough. I started going to the gym everyday... After a year of working out, I had barely lost any weight at all. After getting tested by an Endocrinologist, we discovered my body actually lost the ability to lose weight. I immediately started treatment through medication to reset my brain's "setpoint". Then through the diet and exercise program I had been doing over the last year, I finally started showing results. Since then I have lost 180 pounds! I absolutely LOVE spin class! I fell in love with spin about a year and a half into my weight loss journey. For me, it's all about the music. The music makes or breaks any class. I love it when you are in the middle of a class and one of the songs comes on in my playlist and you hear someone get excited to hear it. Or they come up to me after class and tell me about a connection they had to a song we heard. The one thing I try to do in class is be different. You never know what we are going to listen to in my class! We've done movie soundtracks, Broadway musicals, classical scores.. I even once did 45 minutes of Italian Opera! My wife Heidi and I just celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary this August. We have 2 boys... Preston is a freshman at Chattahoochee High School and Colton is in 7th grade at Taylor Road MS. The boys are both active in Boy Scouts and avid soccer players. I have to say what I love most about the Athletic Club are the members. Special shout out to my friends in the Fitness Center. You all have made me feel so welcome! Let's be honest, who REALLY looks forward to waking up at 4:30 am on a FRIDAY to go to work?? I DO!! I can't wait for Friday mornings!
