“I used to be in shape, how did I get here?”
“I ain’t stepping on that scale!”
“My back hurts, I need to wait for that to get better before starting anything”
“I’ll start next Monday…er…actually, I’ll start after my vacation”
Do you have a gym membership, but can’t remember the last time you made any progress (or showed up).
I’m Jay Williams, and I’ve been there and said ALL of those things.
You don’t like what you see in the mirror, you avoid the scale, and you keep telling yourself you’ll take care of your body eventually.
How long are you willing to wait?
At 31 years old, I sat in the emergency room at Oakland Kaiser with chest pains, weighing 315 lbs and feeling like crap.
I used to be in shape, playing basketball and going to the gym all the time…but an injury ended my basketball career, and my job as a software engineer had me sitting behind a desk all day, eating too much burgers and pizza, and playing a few too many video games at night.
I sat in the ER thinking about all the signs I had been ignoring.
Ugh, how did I get here?
The ER doctor told me my chest pains were not heart problems, only stress. He also said I probably needed to lose some weight.
Wake up call!
Time to take care of your health!
I looked for every gym, boot camp, trainer and “transformation challenge” I could find waving a wad of cash and yelling “take my money! I need to lose 50 lbs!”
Every program I tried led to failure, and made me feel worse and worse…
Why?
Because losing weight SUCKS!
It’s hard to stay motivated when your goal is just a number on the scale.
It was only when I found a program focused on getting stronger, faster, and using my body that I actually started losing weight!
My first day I couldn’t do a single pull up, push up, and my form was TERRIBLE.
But my coach looked beyond my flaws and focused on what I could do eventually if I just stuck with the program.
Focusing on what you can DO instead of what you need to LOSE makes fitness a lot more fun.
I kept showing up, and diet and exercise became training and nutrition.
It led me to.
Most importantly, the newfound confidence made the rest of my life better.
My wife joined me on the journey and it led to us traveling the world, having two kids, becoming coaches, opening gyms in two continents, and consulting with other fitness businesses across the globe.

After a knee injury sidelined her from rugby, all the bad habits caught up with her…
