Local Singer Gets Mega R-E-S-U-L-T-S!
If you train with us here at CrossFit Hermitage, you probably know Jared Gray. He's the lead singer for an up-and-coming band here in Nashville (TheMatteGrayBand.com) and he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He weighed 320 pounds when he walked through our doors in November 2014. After 8 months of hard work and dedication to his goals...he has an amazing story to share!

"In my opinion, CrossFit Hermitage provides the best workout possible. It's cardio and strength combined into one 'workout of the day'. 

I used to lift in high school and college - heavy lifting - but I was doing it wrong and I was hurt all the time. Here, you aren't allowed to do the lift or workouts until you are coached to do the movements correctly; it's incredible.
 
Since joining the CFH family in November, my life has changed tremendously.
I'll let my stats speak for themselves...
I've lost 75 pounds so far (from 320 lb. to 245 lb.)
I went from a size 44/46 jean to a size 36.
My arms are bigger. My gut is smaller. My legs are getting jacked.
I eat well (for the most part).

 
I'm the lead singer for The Matte Gray Band here in Nashville, and the changes I've made have been recognized by lots of people...friends, family, regulars at my shows, the staff...everyone! Some have joined CrossFit Hermitage with me; others haven't yet, but will."

Sooooooo excited about the awesome group of people ready to kick-off of BOOTCAMP 615 TOMORROW! These people don't know each other very well yet, but they will soon come together as a team to achieve some really amazing things...and I just don't know of a better way to spend the day! 

Over the next 6 weeks, we’re gonna:
- get really fit
- learn tons about nutrition do’s & dont’s
- conquer our mental obstacles
- and help each other live our best lives possible! 

Now, this isn’t going to be easy...nothing worth it ever is. But we’re all committed to at least trying it out together during the kick-off event TOMORROW...which is the first step toward our BEST health & fitness ever in just 6 weeks. 

There’s only one spot left, and you can "try it before you buy it" for just $49. I’d love to fill that spot with another ROCK STAR personality who's ready to achieve great things. Call us ASAP at 615-496-4080.

P.S. You can also get on the waiting list for our camp that starts at the end of September - let us know if that’s better for you, or if you’re in NOW!

You've probably heard that on July 25, we'll take our new Bootcampers on the start of their six-week journey with some of the most effective & proven workouts we’ve ever used! 

But what you might not know is that everyone enrolled in BOOTCAMP 615 also gets: 
-expert fitness & technique instruction...

-weekly nutrition coaching...

-body composition focus...

-lifestyle coaching & challenges...

-& benchmark progress reports!


...and it all starts THIS SATURDAY with our "Enrollment Day." That's our 90-minute intro session that will show you every part of the six-week journey you need to see to get the results everyone else has seen. 

It’s just $49 to reserve your spot…and we’re down to the final 3 spots.

Have you ever had a friend try to get you to listen to a certain song or artist? You've heard it before (or at least ‘thought’ you had). But then you actually listen to it and BAM - suddenly it’s your FAVORITE SONG (and it’s on repeat like someone's going to take it away from you).

Well it turns out, your previous workout experiences might be the same way.

See, we’ve got this program - BOOTCAMP 615 - that is especially designed to help people who are not currently part of our amazing community learn all the nuts & bolts about real, lifelong fitness.

People come in skeptical (they’ve tried this & that before, but the programs just didn’t deliver what they said they would)...and that's because they don’t have the BOOTCAMP 615 Proven Success Formula! May sound strange, but we actually DO have a proven process that works with Real People & Real Coaches to get Real Results.

Because we’ve seen hundreds of people (just like you) succeed every day for years now, we knew that creating a successful program would take more than *just* our awesome workouts!

To really achieve your fitness goals, it also takes education on nutrition and lifestyle factors. The other 23 hours of the day that you’re not with us are just as important for your success.

We get to cover these areas with you in a fun & encouraging atmosphere, where we keep everyone accountable through a positive support system. In every camp, people come together as strangers, and leave with life-long lasting friendships.

Finally, we top it off with the best certified Coaches around (+ an actual award-winning gym). We have Coaches who are trained to help you crush your goals, and then set new ones...and then crush them, too!

So, if you’re wondering what else is around the corner with BOOTCAMP 615, you’re not alone. 

We’re starting the next ‘go-round’ of our 6-week bootcamp on July 25...
 
...and we’d love to be your new favorite song!
