Chris’s Story =
My name is Chris Garrett and in October of 2009 I turned 29 years old in the worst shape of my life! My wife (Tekoa) and I were overweight, tired, weak, and had little respect for our bodies. We ate horribly, lived a sedentary lifestyle and had no intentions of changing that lifestyle. We were embarrassed by how we looked and never felt good about ourselves, but were too lazy to do anything about it. With heart disease prominent in my family I knew I needed to do something. I dealt with Sleep Apnea and Narcolepsy so on top of having no energy due to being out of shape and overweight… I was ALWAYS tired. You could pretty much consider me a walking zombie. I often had to take naps in my car during my breaks at work because I could not stay awake.
Some friends of ours kept posting on Facebook about their P90X journey. It got me wondering, “What the heck is P90X??” I started doing research on it and decided it was going to be a little too intense for my wife and I to start with first. I wanted to start with something a little easier so I would be encouraged to keep going and not get scared after the first few days, so we chose the older, less intense program, Power 90! Until that day I had no intention of getting healthy or to get in shape. It was an impulse buy. I surprised my wife and told her what I bought and her immediate thought was “Crap… we spent money on this… now we HAVE to do it!” LOL. This by far was the best impulse purchase we have ever made!
By the end of the first week of Power 90 Tekoa and I started seeing results! This was the motivation we needed to keep pushing “PLAY” for the rest of the 90 days. It was not easy… but Power 90 gave us AMAZING results. We started to incorporate Shakeology in our daily nutrition, which further boosted our results and broke us out of a plateau and gave us great energy and reduced cravings. We then moved onto P90X! We struggled with the different time commitment of P90X and didn’t stick with the program very well at first. We remembered why we were living this lifestyle and scheduled our days accordingly to accommodate the extra time needed for the workouts. Boy am I glad we did! We saw INCREDIBLE results. I am more flexible and can do things I have never been able to do before. My physique is something I never could have imagined. It is hard to imagine that just in a mere 6 months of commitment I was able to go from obese to ripped. It is simply incredible! I lost a total of 62 pounds and dropped my body fat from 31% to 8%! The BEST part is that losing all that weight cured my Sleep Apnea and Shakeology has helped me overcome my Narcolepsy with all the energy it gives me. I no longer take any medication! Everyday I am amazed with my new fitness and strength capabilities.
As friends, family and coworkers saw how drastically we were transforming our lives, we began sharing Beachbody, Power 90, P90X, and Shakeology. Our passion for helping others achieve similar success was ignited and Tekoa and I signed up as Coaches – and we’ve never looked back! The Coach opportunity is not about the money for us – it’s about the ability to do something we enjoy and most of all, the chance to guide others to a healthy lifestyle and provide inspiration and motivation along the way. Our passion grew more and more with helping others on this journey that I made it a goal to be able to make this a full time business to be able to stay at home and spend more time with family. In March of 2012 I did just that! We are SO BLESSED to be a part of something where we can help others get healthy and help others become successful coaches and actually have it has a full time gig!
I am now in the BEST shape of my life! I first want to say “Thank You” to my beautiful wife for encouraging me and holding me accountable and for our now 2 kids who have been very patient with me as I work out in their play areas! LOL. I also want to thank my Beachbody Coach (Wayne) for being a huge inspiration to me to know what is truly possible with Team Beachbody and everything they offer. I strive for his amazing success with his fitness, nutrition and coaching!
This journey is not easy. I have been there and I am here to support and encourage anybody that needs help through his or her challenging experiences of lifestyle change! Tekoa and I worked as a team together to have success in Power 90 and P90X by holding each other accountable and motivating each other. We love sharing that with others now and we have great joy in helping others have the same success as we have with these Beachbody programs. Always remember, “Do your best and forget the rest”!
