“How Fast Can You Really Change Your Health? (Spoiler: This Summer is Enough)”

🔍 The Science Behind 8–12 Week Transformations

What if we told you that the next 8–12 weeks could completely change your energy, body, and mindset — and all it takes is showing up with the right plan? Whether you’re a teacher coming off a long school year or someone just ready to hit the reset button, summer is one of the most powerful windows for transformation.

Research shows that with a structured fitness and nutrition program, significant results happen in as little as 6 to 12 weeks:
 • Body Composition:
 • A 2021 study in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research showed that participants following a structured strength training plan 3x/week for 8 weeks reduced body fat by 5–8% on average.
 • Cardiovascular Fitness:
 • VO2 Max (a key marker of heart health and endurance) improved 10–15% in just 8–10 weeks of consistent aerobic + resistance training.
 • Mental Health & Stress:
 • Just 30 minutes of exercise, 3x per week, has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression significantly — with results appearing within 4–6 weeks (Harvard Health).


Why Summer is the Perfect Reset Window
 • Fewer daily obligations
 • More control over your time and meals
 • Better weather = more movement opportunities
 • Space to build new routines that last

If you’re a teacher — this is especially true. No bells. No lesson plans. No daily chaos.
Just time for YOU.


What’s Possible in 8 Weeks?

In our own gym, we’ve seen clients in just two months:
 • Drop 10–20 pounds
 • Regain energy and confidence
 • Go from never lifting to deadlifting over 100 lbs
 • Finally sleep better and feel “in control” of their body again


The Summer Reset: Just for Teachers

That’s why we created The Summer Reset — an 8-week program specifically for teachers who want to walk into the fall semester feeling like the best version of themselves.

✅ Safe, effective workouts
✅ Optional nutrition guidance
✅ Built-in accountability
✅ A community of people just like you


Final Thought:

You don’t need a year. You just need a season — and the right support.
Make this your summer of strength.

Coach Hernandez is a coach for a rival school across town. However, during the state powerlifting meet, he assisted one of our athletes in a tough situation. It made me admire him more, and want him to be recognized for his actions so that other coaches may duplicate his actions.

Memorial Day at Roswell CrossFit means one thing—Murph. It’s not just a workout. It’s a grueling test of endurance, strength, and mental grit. It’s a tradition. It’s a challenge. It’s a way to push your limits while honoring a hero. But let’s be real—Murph is tough. 1 mile run. 100 pull-ups. 200 push-ups. 300 air squats. 1 mile run. If you’ve ever done it, you know that winging it leads to suffering—slow reps, burning muscles, and a struggle to finish. But what if this year was different? What if this year, you felt strong, prepared, and ready to PR? ⸻ The Problem: Most People Show Up Underprepared For a lot of people, Murph ends up being a battle of sheer willpower because they didn’t train for it. • Their arms gas out before finishing pull-ups. • Push-ups turn into 2-rep sets. • Legs feel like jelly before the final mile. • Breathing becomes the biggest challenge. Sure, you’ll survive. But why just get through it when you could crush it?

Ever feel like tracking macros is confusing or like you’re not sure if you’re doing it right? You’re not alone. Many people get overwhelmed, but here’s the truth: it’s trial and error until you find what works for your body and your goals. Most people don’t struggle in the gym. They show up, work hard, and push themselves. The real battle happens in the kitchen—and even more than that, in the mindset around food. If you don’t have a strong support system at home, it can feel impossible to stay on track. So, How Do You Actually Figure Out Your Macros? ✅ Start Simple – Use a free macro calculator (like MacroFactor or Macro Calculator). ⬅️ This is a golden nugget that only a few people know about. If nothing else, use the principles from this website to build a solid foundation. ✅ Track for Awareness – Even if you don’t track forever, logging your food for a few weeks helps you see patterns. A simple rule: • 4 weeks = Trial phase (get used to tracking). • 8 weeks = You will have real data to make smart decisions on diet, training plans, and recovery. ✅ Adjust Based on Results – If your goal is fat loss but the scale isn’t moving, tweak the numbers. Don’t overthink it—just use the golden nugget website I listed above 🙏. ✅ Accountability is Everything – Staying on track is tough when you’re the only one trying. Having the right support can be the difference between spinning your wheels and actually making progress. Who’s Holding You Accountable? If you’re relying solely on willpower, you’re making this harder than it needs to be. Most people succeed when they have: ✔️ Someone helping them see blind spots. ✔️ A system for tracking progress and making adjustments. ✔️ A support network that keeps them honest when motivation dips. If you don’t have that kind of support, let’s fix that. ✅ Book a Free Nutrition & Fitness Intro ASAP! No more guessing. No more spinning your wheels. Just results. 🔥 Richie
