I have never committed to anything fitness-wise but after trying a Les Mills GRIT demo, as well as waking up every morning and wanting a different physique, I made a decision to devote 30 minutes, twice a week to begin my fitness journey. I decided to join Coach Marissa’s GRIT team.

Before starting my 6 week program, Marissa and I sat down to discuss my goals and took some starting measurements. Not only did I want to get healthy for myself, but more importantly for my wife and daughter who need a healthy husband and daddy in their life. I stepped onto the scale and weighed a personal high 236 pounds … a majority of which was right around my midsection.

The team of 11 participants embarked on a journey that would test us physically and push us to the brink mentally. Each and every 30 minute workout — be it cardio, plyo or strength — was intense. The heavy breathing began shortly after the warmup.

Through the whole thing, Marissa was fantastic. She pushed us, encouraged us and most of all, NEVER let us quit. Whether squats, burpees or push-ups, she was right there to lead the way. There were a couple of teammates that were also extremely encouraging – thank you Sally and Jodi for being awesome.
