Happy Sunday change makers! I hope you’re weekend was awesome and that you had as much fun as I did.

Love the videos!
Mike, Love the videos! We had a blast at the last PTO Family BC and I wish we could go tomorrow, but E has softball in the morning and is making her First Communion. And speaking of the First Communion…..I am happy to tell you I've reached the first of my WL goals..every dress in my closet that I had hoped to squeeze into for E's First Communion now fits----a few are even too big!!! Now for summer goals onto those size 6 dresses….I love shopping in my own closet. Thank you, thank you Mike :)!! Have fun tomorrow and have a great weekend. See you Monday!

Mike is a pleasure to work with
Mike is a pleasure to work with. He is thorough and detail oriented in his approach to training. He focuses on full spectrum, inclusive of nutrition. Mike is a great motivator! I am really excited to have an opportunity to work with him. I have results to prove it. As Mike always says: "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it!" Thank you. Yari K Brighton, MA
2013, P3, Week 3 Recap
Happy empowerment week to you! I hope you’ve gotten your 1st challenge workout in and you’re ready for next one. Today I completed CW#4 which was tough. Man those 25 rep goblet lateral lunges make me so winded. Does that happen to you too during the goblet lateral lunges? Anyways, there is lots of great stuff below. Rookies, please read the empower week plan so you know what you’re supposed to be doing. Everyone get your 1st challenge workout completed and then enjoy the shout outs and give yourself a pat on the back if you earned a shout out and give your peers a high five if they did. And now...

2013, P3, Week 2 Recap
Today I shot CW #1. It was tough. The CW won and it was not pretty (Nasrin get your popcorn). However, even though it made my words mumble while coaching the 9am class and my appearance, sweaty & gross, if you want to become your best self and get in your best shape, do challenge workouts. They help make change happen.

Great Friday to you! I hope you’re feeling as awesome as I am b/c earlier today I beat Challenge Workout #1 in 14min and change. That’s Carol Vaghar, Nasrin Sadeghi and all of you other smack talkers out there. I’m 1 for 1 in the new year. 😉 Week 2 was great. People are getting focused, healthy and building momentum.
