Jon G, 43, started at CrossFit Reverb a little over 3 months ago and has done a great job following the process. Let’s hear about it from him!
Before finding us, what was your struggle? What were your biggest frustrations?
- “It felt like the day I turned 40 my metabolism slowed and the injuries started to pile up and became harder to recover from.
- That, along with ~recently becoming a father (our toddler was a little over 1 year old at the time I joined Reverb), I had not yet figured out how to balance parenthood, spouse life, a demanding job, social activities, and maintenance of a consistent workout routine.
How did your struggle and frustrations affect your life? What did you feel like before you made your transformation?
- “Simple things like the oh-so-dreaded “dad bod” started to creep in (I never believed it would happen to me, but man, it’s real!), decreased energy levels, an embarrassingly difficult time standing from a squatting / sitting position while holding my baby, and a general displeasure in my appearance.
- Also, I continued to struggle with injuries every time I attempted to start back in the gym.
How did our program help you?
- “From day 1 there was zero pressure to push myself beyond what I felt my body could take, as I slowly acclimated to the inherent demands and intensity of CrossFit. Each coach took the time to get to know me and my unique story / initial limitations, helping to modify the workouts to best fit my individual needs especially as I was still nursing a months-old shoulder injury.
- The encouragement, support, and welcoming atmosphere cultivated by the coaches and the Reverb community as a whole cannot be understated and has directly impacted my motivation to consistently show up week after week.
How is life different for you now?
- “In just 3 months I can objectively say that I am much stronger and more conditioned, and feeling / looking great. (To think, this is only the beginning of my Reverb journey!)
- My pre-existing shoulder injury is gone. And as trivial as this may sound, I can quickly pop up from the ground now with my son, pointing to improved functional strength in addition to what I’m seeing in the gym.
- Eternally grateful to CrossFit Reverb for this experience!

What process did Jon follow to get these results?
- Booked a No Sweat Intro to get a personalized prescription for how to reach HIS specific goals.
- Followed the prescription: On Ramp Session, followed by training 2-3 times per week.
- Listened to his coaches, stayed patient, put in consistent attendance and effort.
- That’s it! After attending his 90-day Goal Review, he has a slightly updated plan and he’ll keep on trucking to hit his next goal!
Great job Jon, keep it up! [If you can relate at all to Jon before starting… click the “Book an Intro” button on our website!]
