Chris Coburn is a leader on teamRIPPED. There is no other way to say it. Chris has been a big part of the team for a long time and his ongoing transformation is really inspiring!
Chris never started out as a huge, overweight guy. He fought the other battle. Still shredding BF but wanting to really put on some mass. And he did!
I get the great pleasure of working along side Chris in the Year of the Beast Challenge. It has been a blast getting to know him more and watch him coach all the guys and gals in YOTB. He is a constantly encouraging and a big time motivator! Whenever someone needs help, Chris is there.
Way to go man! You story is still amazing and continues to push a lot of people. So proud of all your hard work and how lead by example!!!

Chris’ Story (all the way back from his first rounds):
Back in early 2009, a friend of mine mentioned that he was starting a new workout routine called P90X and it intrigued me. At the time, I was one of those “has been” high-school athletes that fell victim to apathy in physical activity and overindulgence at the dinner table. I wasn’t obese, or really THAT overweight, but I would certainly not consider myself to be in shape. I was subconsciously embarrassed of my outward appearance and my personal confidence was a reflection of this.
Later that week, I started looking into the P90X program and saw enough evidence that I purchased the DVDs from the infomercial. I didn’t purchase the first time I watched it, it was probably after the 4th or 5th time, some how my remote would always land on the channel with that commercial airing. While I waited for the delivery of the little package that would change my life, I started looking into the equipment that was needed to get started. I got all of the equipment and a few days later, the DVDs had arrived. I decided not to purchase my equipment from the Beachbody, but rather found what I needed at a local sporting goods store.
I officially started P90X on Monday, April 20, 2009 and successfully completed the program on Saturday July 18th, 2009. I never missed a workout, though sometimes my schedule did vary, but I always made the time to get my workouts in. I used the Team Beachbody message boards to find others just like me who were new to the program and were going through the same struggles that I went through. I also had great support at home, my wife and kids were always joking with me about the things that I would eat, but they also learned to eat a bit healthier at the same time, which was an added bonus.
Since then I have completed several additional rounds of P90X, P90X+ and a few of the One-on-One series sessions.
