You stepped on the scale and it reads “HELP!” or the number equivelent of help… What’s your next move?
There are lots of different actions you could take and the next one you take will be the most important. Most people either… Get motivated or spiral further downward.
These folks say “I’m going to rise to the challenge”… “Time to start my meal plan” “I’m going to go workout right now” or some similar action that starts the trend towards their goals. Which is hopefully the boat you’re in, ready for action.
These folks say… “I want to crawl under a rock”, “I’ll go sit by myself and eat a gallon of ice cream”. These thoughts trigger either an action or inaction in the negative direction… We need a mindset shift OR just some plain ole hope!
The motivated crew usually goes out and crushes the workouts and the nutrition plan for a couple weeks sometimes even a couple months… then a multitude of variables derails them regularly only to fall back to the level of their old habits and the cycle continues. Those folks who immediately are downward spiraled by the scale reading… they’ve usually gone through the motivated cycle enough times and not got where they wanted and have become frustrated to the point of no hope.
It’s time to come out from under your rock… your shame, embarassment, heart break and anger are not serving your goals. We’ve seen it hundreds of times, you’ve tried “everything” and none of it has worked. We have solutions to the obstacles you’re facing and the most common answer when we ask “What would you do differently?” is resoundingly…
“I WISH I WOULD’VE STARTED YEARS AGO”
Let US take the rock off your back. We’ll start the build the hope back up, you’ll start making progress… All you have to do is tell us a little about your goals and then book a FREE No Sweat Intro!

Kimberly recently chatted with Coach James about how she came to CrossFit Jungle Gym two and a half years ago for a better lifestyle, how she stayed motivated to workout during quarantine and what she wants to accomplish next.
Hi I’m Kimberly Cerasi – I turned 50 today.
Just a better lifestyle, I tried all these different workouts and you stick with it for a couple months, and kind of fall off of it. I needed something to kick my butt and get in shape. Two and a half years later and I’m still here – must be doing something right.
That was tough, especially going into quarantine and not getting the push from class. I promised myself I got too far where I was, I lost a lot of weight, I got strong. I pushed myself, I woke up Monday – Friday everyday at 6am and did the workout then started work. I did it every morning.
There’s a couple, power cleans, for sure. We mentioned right before I was at 60#/65# I wanted to get to 75# I can now do 90#/95#, even if its a 1 rep max. Backsquats, we did it from the rig one day because there was only four of us and even though I was at 130# before I left, I got to 115# which I’m proud of, especially for not doing them at home. Also, deadlifts – I can still lift heavy, it feels good.
Oh, it goes back to quarentine, the fact that you guys did the videos and kept us in check. Getting the messages from (Coach James) every night, “ok this is what I want to see” and then a little reminder the next day asking how’d it go? It was always like, if I missed a workout, I have to tell him(Coach James) why and that wasn’t going to happen – I’m not making excuses.
I still want to increase my power clean, my goal is to get over 100#’s. My deadlift, I want to get back past the 130#, getting to 200#’s would be awesome, that seems kind of a stretch. My backsquat’s getting to the weight I was at before and heavier. I was at 130# before so heavier than that.
You have come so far in the last two and a half years and there is so much more in you. So keep going – you can do it.
Lakenya chats with Coach James about what brought her to CrossFit Jungle Gym a year ago and how even through nutrition changes she has been able to achieve amazing results.
“Just the need to have professionals around that know proper form and can inform me of how to do the movements and how to do them safely.“
“Over the last 90 days I have decreased by body fat percentage by almost 7%, increased my skeletal muscle mass by 2 1/2 pounds and my weight has gone down by close to 10 pounds”.
“First sign of progress I think getting closer to my 1 rep max for my deadlift, closer to my 1 rep max for my squat and other lifts.“
“The biggest obstacle – mental. Total mental game sometimes. Sometimes you think, oh I changed my nutrition I won’t be able to do xy or z. It’s ingrained in your mind that you have to eat meat to be able to achieve these results. I’ve had to change my diet to a point that I thought it would be harder for me to obtain certain results – but it’s clearly been the opposite.”
“Further nail down my nutrition and I think continue to just strive to get that little bit better every time I work out. Give consistent effort, not necessarily push myself to finish in record breaking time, but to consistently move through the workout and finish and give a good effort, but still challenge myself. Get better to increase my cardiac output and strength.”
“Nothing to lose and everything to gain. Trained professionals is the key to meeting those goals and reaching out for help is the first step. I’m glad I did more than a year ago.”
