Client Recognition & Appreciation

First of all I am blessed to be surrounded by so many motivated and hard working clients. They always come in ready to train hard as they know what to expect. Their great results are the product of all their hard work. I decided to post up this blog to recognize some of the great achievements my clients have had recently. If I didn’t include you in this post it doesn’t mean you aren’t kicking ass. It just means I didn’t include you. I still like you though. If I included everyone this post would turn into a “look how many clients I have post” instead of the intended purpose of recognizing some of their latest achievements.

Body Re-composition Clients

Suzette Frick

Suzette has made some tremendous progress in a very short time. Suzette has been training with me a while with some great results. But about 13 weeks ago she said she wanted to get serious. I had recommend Tom Venuto’s book, “The Body Fat Solution” to her a month or so before and let me tell you it got her motivated.

Over the next 12 weeks she went from 175 pounds to 146 pounds. She lost 29 pounds in 12 weeks. Her hips dropped from 44 inches to 38 inches. Her waist went from 35 inches to 31 inches.

Jonathan Light

Jonathan began training with me around the end of May last year. His original goal was fat loss and some muscle and strength gains. During this time Jonathan has lost 34 pounds dropping from 212 to 178 (while putting on a substantial amount of muscle). Sometime during late July he approached me about a new long term goal of competing in a powerlifting meet. Just last week Jonthan hit a PR on his squat, bench and deadlift. He is definitely heading in the right direction.

Performance Clients

Chase Caldwell

Chase was named offensive MVP on his team, along with first team all region and first team all district. He ended the season with 17 goals and 12 assist.

Chase is now preparing for track season in which he placed 4th in the 400 meter at State last year as a sophomore. Only getting beat by 3 seniors. Look forward to a update after he wins state this year.

Jason Straub

Jason Straub is another outstanding soccer player. He finished this season with 17 goals and 6 assist. He was also named first team all region and first team all district.

Jared Sigler

Jared and his fellow teammates won state this year in football. Jared is a great athlete playing not only football, but soccer and running track.

Steven Wooten

Steven came to me last year during the off season for football. He made leaps and bounds in not only strength and power but also body composition. He and his fellow teammates and head coach also attended an athlete nutrition seminar I put on last year during their off season. I would like to congratulate Steven and his team for their 2nd place finish at State, in which they lost in double overtime.

Strength Clients

Kelly Atnip

Kelly has been a client of mine for over 3 years now. She has always worked hard and had built up a great base of strength. So when she approached me this last year about raw powerlifting it was a no-brainer. I just wanted to congratulate Kelly on a outstanding year of progress and her 3 new PRs in the last month. Squat 190 x 3, Bench 120 x 1, Deadlift 200 x 4.

Dr. Mark Atnip

Mark began training with me last July. First I would like to thank him for hanging in there with me while we worked on straightening him out so he could begin to squat and deadlift. He had some mobility issues that we have finally resolved in the past month. Thanks for the patience.

He has also recently hit a bench PR of 290 pounds (up from 245 in July).

Todd Duff

Todd has made some tremendous strength and muscle gains since he began training a little under 2 years ago. He is getting pretty jacked, no lie.

Todd hit a squat PR last month and I am expecting some big things this year.

And he has mentioned an interest in the V-Diet a few times…

Laura Duff

Laura’s #1 goal on her intake form 2 years ago was.

1. Continue running 30 miles a week.

Funny thing is Laura hardly ever runs now.

What she does do is hold powerlifting state records though SPF and SLP. Some of my high school athletes are embarrassed seeing her numbers on the board compared to theirs. Laura has a tremendous work ethic and is really goal oriented.


So there you have it. Some recognition for some of my clients hard work. I would like to thank all the clients over the years who have put their faith in me and trusted me with their bodies. I work with great people everyday and appreciate having them as clients more than words can express. I feel like I never have to go to work. As someone once said, “When you love your job, you never work a day in your life.”

This couldn’t be truer.
