I’m 38 years old, married, and a father of six kids ranging in age from 12 to 2. My wife and I are originally from Colorado but moved to Arizona in 2018.
A couple of years ago, I decided to take my CrossFit training to the next level, competitively. I had some prior experience with nutrition coaching, but I was introduced to Adam through a local competition. Given Adam’s background and experience working with CrossFit athletes, I believed he could help me achieve my goals through better nutrition. Before working with Adam, I had a nutrition coach at my former CrossFit gym who laid a solid foundation for me. She taught me the basics of macros and reshaped the way I viewed food.
As my training intensity increased, I realized I needed a more advanced approach to nutrition—something tailored to my specific goals as a competitor. The biggest difference for me right away was Adam. I clicked with him instantly and felt confident that his program was a great fit. As I progressed, I found the app and macro tracking tools incredibly helpful for keeping me consistent and accurate.
When my nutrition started aligning with my training, I saw real results. I lost body fat, made noticeable gains in the gym, and it only confirmed this was the perfect program for me. I now have a much better understanding of how to fuel my training and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Physically, I’m more confident than ever.
Here are three key lessons I’ve learned through Copper State FIT (CSF) that I will continue long after:
- Consistency matters. Following a structured plan, over time, leads to real results.
- Fat loss is more than just cutting sugar. It’s about understanding your macros, maintaining discipline, and staying within your calorie range.
- Enjoy the process. You don’t have to eliminate your favorite foods—you just need to practice self-control, and balance while keeping your calories, and macronutrients in check.
Since starting with CSF, I’ve lost 33 pounds and over 12% body fat. For the first time in my life, I can clearly see my abs! My gym performance has also skyrocketed—I placed fifth in a competitive event this year. Most importantly, I feel better and have greater control over my eating habits.
If I hadn’t worked with Copper State FIT, I wouldn’t have achieved the body composition I have today or been as prepared for high-level competition. CSF isn’t for someone who “hopes” to lose weight—it’s for those who are serious and committed to reaching the next level. If that’s your mindset, CSF will help you get there.
