We love sharing our member's success stories! They've all put in so much hard work and deserve to be in the spotlight over and over again. In his own words, we want you to meet Jeremy Faircloth...

"During college, I was a valet which gave me a lot of exercise + I would go to the rec center to lift weights a few times per week. I graduated in May 2012 at 6' tall and 235 pounds. Like most people, I started gaining weight when I moved to an office job with 40+ hours/week (and not exercising near as much).

I joined CrossFit Hermitage in October 2012 and started coming to classes 2-3 week. I got stronger, but I was simply here 'in order to not weigh 400 pounds'. I told myself that I could eat whatever I wanted as long as I worked out and that I didn’t really need to eat heathy.

By September 2016, I weighed 
260 pounds and went from a waist size 36 to 40. I finally started to listen to my CrossFit Coaches, decided to balance my fitness AND my nutrition, and learned how to meal prep (probably the most important part for me). In the last 6 months, I've lost FORTY POUNDS! I now wear a size 34 pant and weigh 215.

Once I started to lose weight, my CrossFit workouts started to improve dramatically. I started to realize how much better my body could perform with the proper nutrients and losing weight was improving my conditioning as well. That made it easy for me to get and stay in the mindset of healthy eating. At first I told myself I was going on a diet, but now I feel like I have truly had a lifestyle change with how I feel towards food. I feel so much better and really I regret not making the decision to eat healthier sooner.

​If I had to pass on any words of wisdom, I would tell you to just make up your mind that you are going to do it. Then make sure you meal prep each week (very important), and of course come to CrossFit Hermitage as much as possible - you'll start to love the workouts!"

Today's CrossFit Workout:
"Barbell Jail"
EMOM until you can't continue...
Start with an empty barbell and snatch for as long as possible. 
Once you cannot snatch the weight, clean for as long as possible.
Once you cannot clean the weight, deadlift for as long as possible.

​*Details, rules, etc are on the whiteboard.
*Compare to 4-6-16; 12-16-15; 8-10-15; 4-8-15
