Jeremy's Fitness Revolution

How this came about ...

A little About me

I am a 35-year-old web developer that works for a subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company. I live in Crystal Lake, Illinois with my wife, Jody, and one year old daughter, Kylie.
Early in 2005 my wife and I started our own business. Jody is a graphic designer and we figured our two skill sets complimented each other’s nicely. In January 2005, my wife quit her job as an ad designer at a local newspaper and K3 Consulting Services was born.

This is her primary job – I continue as a developer for an insurance company for the time being and work on K3 at night.

Strength Fitness

Once we started our new business the first task at hand was to find clients – we promptly joined our local chamber of commerce.

We met Brian and Lisa Gatewood at a Chamber mixer for businesses in Crystal Lake and McHenry Illinois. Brian and Lisa were promoting Strength Fitness – their exercise studio. They were interested in a print brochure and a web site for their business. After an initial discussion we gave them a quote and they accepted.

After meeting with Brian and Lisa and having Brian explain his fitness philosophy we were sold. We cut a deal to work and trade my fitness revolution began.

I was desperately out of shape and did not think I had the time or willpower to do anything about it. At 35 years old - I felt way past my prime, overweight, bad back, achy knees – to summarize I felt very old and 35 isn’t that old.

This Blog is going to record what I hope will be a transformation – by making this public it serves as motivation to stay on track, and I hope that my success can server as inspiration to others. I also hope this becomes the ultimate client testimonial for Brian. After 18 sessions with Brian, hearing his philosophy, his credentials and experience, I truly believe he is a top-notch fitness professional capable of changing lives.

Prior to this blog, I have already started working with Brian at Strength Fitness – after 18 sessions I am down 6 pounds, and that’s through the holidays. And I feel great! My back is much stronger and I am starting to feel like a 35-year-old should feel. I like to think of it this way – the first 18 sessions served to get me in shape to get in shape. This Blog is going to chrionical the next 12 weeks in which I incorporate serious dieting and nutrition into an expertly laid out exercise plan. Wish me luck.
