I am so proud of Brandi for what she accomplished. Brandi started at 38.7% Bodyfat which is only 1.3% away from being Morbidy Obese, even though her bodyweight wasn’t majorly overweight her body was made up of amost 40% fat.   For her to drop her bodyfat to under 20%, its just AMAZING.. she  turned her life around 100% now being in a  bikini/athletic range of bodyfat.   What she did body wise was very amazing but how she changed inside is what really hit home for me.  I know how important it is for herself and her family for the rest of her life.  I also know that she can now teach those around her that they can do it too.  This mother is now looking like a Bikini Model and So confident that she can take on anything that presents itself.  Im crossing my fingers but hopefully will encourage her to step on stage as a Diva Bikini Model for the Wbff in the future.  We will see!!!!

 Brandi.. Clients like you are why I do what I do.  All that I ever ask is  live as active and healthy as possible for the rest of your life.  I am very proud of you and wish you nothing but happiness for the rest of your life.

 Brandi’s Inspirational Car Wreck- Its was Fate

My story with Micah begins and ends with tears. I am a mother, a wife, a business owner, and a friend to many.  But before I met Micah, I felt very empty inside – even though my outside surroundings were full and vibrant.

The love of my life, Ty, was born in May 2005.  With this brand new person in my life, I became overwhelmed with responsibility.  How in the world could I keep it all together?  I owned a business, I had laundry to do, and a baby who needed my attention all the time, I had a husband who got put on the back-burner for everything because I simply didn’t have time to make him feel important, I had friends I barely spoke to (and lost) because I didn’t take time for them either, and did I mention laundry???  So officially in May of 2005, I became the happiest person in the world because of my son.  Unfortunately, at the same time, my eating habits and lifestyle were spinning out of control and I became very unhappy inside.  (*note my weight right after giving birth to Ty was around 130-135 pounds).

Fast forward four years.  It is Winter 2009.  My weight is now around 155-160 pounds (sometimes possibly pushing165 pounds).  What in the world happened over 4 years that made me gain so much weight?  I can tell you exactly.  It was excuses.  I am too busy!!!  So I got McDonalds for breakfast (or totally skip breakfast in some cases), had Taco Bell for lunch, and carry-out Applebee’s for dinner….EVERYDAY!   I had so much work to do – there was no way I was going to make time to exercise.  Lord, I felt I barely had time to breathe let alone pop in one of my many unopened exercise DVD’s to get in a workout.  Excuses, excuses, excuses…   

My friend Gwen, (a former client/transformation of Micah’s) (http://hitchfit.com/micahhitchfit-com/2009/12/30/before-afters/gwen/), came over to my house shortly after she finished her transformation…and she looked amazing!  She had recently had a baby and lost a lot of weight and had this beautiful glow about her.  I asked her what her “secret” was – thinking that I would run off to the store the minute she left and buy the magic pill she had been taking.  Gwen told me her success came from a personal trainer named Micah.  She had been seeing him to help her lose weight and he was teaching her how to eat.  Gwen was my little angel that stepped into my life at probably one of the lowest points of my life.  She gave me Micah’s information and off to the internet I went to look at his website and I started setting up my appointments. 

January 5, 2010.  My workouts with Micah began.  I cried that morning.  I didn’t think I could possibly workout and be successful.  However, through my journey I found out that Micah’s heart is stronger than any other muscle on his body.  He is probably one of the most caring people I know because of how compassionate he is about your life.  From day one, he saw right through me…he knew I was hurting – and took his time during my transformation to find out where my broken pieces were….and he helped me mend them.  He pushed me to failure in most of my exercises – but what he was doing was breaking me down only to build me back up.  He never once made me feel like I was weak…..but when I was feeling weak – he would remind me of how strong I was and that I could do it for “5 more seconds.”  And guess what, I did.

June 2010.  By now Micah is a dear friend.  He knows my quirks.  He knows my story.  He knows I am succeeding.  Every time I would drive to work out with Micah – I would dread the butt – kicking I was about to endure.  But every time I walked out of his gym I felt like I could conquer the world.  I followed his plan.  He gave me directions – and I took them very, very seriously.  The diet was strict – but never one time did I cheat on ANY food.  Not even a nibble of a cookie.  Not even a lick of icing off of a cake.  Not even a sip of soda pop.  I followed his exercise plans and MADE TIME for myself to exercise and change my life.  And I followed what he said because I believe in him.  And guess what, I succeeded.

Last week of June 2010.  It’s my last session.  My drive to workout with Micah was different this time.  I didn’t dread the butt-kicking.  Rather, I cried because it was over.  In fact, I cried the entire session!  He took time through my tears to recap how much I have changed my life, my son’s life, and my future because of diet, exercise and dedication.  Micah and Diana embraced me with hugs.  Their chemistry together is inspiring – and even though I wasn’t one of Diana’s clients – she always treated me as a friend.  So needless to say – Diana’s hugs meant a lot on my emotional last day.  Micah became such an important part of my life because he changed my life. It was really hard to say goodbye.  One of my fondest moments with Micah is when he complimented me for the very first time about ¾ of the way into my transformation and called me “Skinny Mini.” You see, Micah doesn’t hand out compliments like candy – I found you have to earn it.  At that point I knew I had made it!

I stand here today a better mommy, wife, business owner, and friend.  I am strong inside and out.  I have the ability to control my life – as Micah taught me.  My marriage is stronger than it has ever been.  I love running around playing baseball with my son. Before Micah, I would have rather taken a nap than play outside.  That is a sad thought.  I can organize my life better because I have energy, direction, and will-power.  I want to inspire other moms out there who are stuck in a rut like I was.  There is hope.  I promise diet and exercise will change your life.

Thank you to my husband who supported me from day one.  He works so hard for our family and sacrificed so much so I could work out.  Micah is currently working with him and changing his life too.  My husband is the most amazing man and held my hand through my transformation.  Thank you to my son Ty who wants to challenge me to the PLANK all the time!  He is learning great things from what I have learned.  He will be a better, stronger, healthier little boy because of Micah being in our lives.  Thank you to Gwen – I firmly believe God planted you in my life for this particular purpose – you came to me when I needed someone the most – you were and always will be my rock.  Mary and Ashlie – who worked out with Micah the same time I did and helped encourage me.  You girls became lifelong friends and we shared one of the hardest journeys of our life together through Micah.  And lastly, thank you to Micah for wiping my tears from day one and allowing me to reach the potential you knew I always had.  Your purpose in life has clearly been established.  You are a dear friend and I can never explain to you how much I appreciate the tools for life you have left me with.  And please know that I will always do 5 more seconds whenever I feel like giving up!

Marys 2 Minute Pushups

This is one of those transformations that your jaw drops to the ground. Mary is a 50 year old that started at 167.4 lbs, 40% bodyfat and arthritis in both knees. She didnt let any of these factors hold her back from reaching her Amazing transformation. In the 8 years I have trained this rates up with the best. She lost 41 lbs of fat, 20% bodyfat, 7 3/4 ” around her waist and 8 ” around her hips. She nows weighs in at 127lbs at 20.66% bodyfat. This puts her in the top category in her age group. Mary is also going to be competing in a upcoming triathelon. People I cannot explain in words how emotional I get with this one. She did everything I asked, ate perfect throughout the holidays which is very difficult. She never made an excuse, she set a goal and got there. I am so proud of her. Please take the time to watch her video and read her testimonial. If she can do this so can you!!!

Mary’s Testimonial:

Last September, about one month shy of my 50th birthday, I saw pictures of a former student of mine, Brent P. who had just completed a 12 week transformation at HitchFit. I was totally amazed and impressed by what I saw and decided to contact Brent to ask him a few questions. He gave me contact information for Micah and so I sent him an email to let him know that I was interested in getting back into shape and was hoping that his program could help me out.

Micah sent me a return email the very same day. I was already impressed by his professionalism. We set up a schedule for me to work with him 3 days per week. On that initial visit he took my body fat percents and we discussed my goals. When he told me that my overall body fat was a little over 40%, I remember how crushed I felt. Being a health education teacher, I knew that anything over 30% is considered to be obese. OBESE – not me! NOT someone who was an athlete in both high school and college and who has been very active as a volleyball coach for 25 years. The reality of it all hit me like a ton of bricks. From that moment, I had the incentive I needed to make major changes in my life.

The decision to make these life changes was definitely a huge one. I’ve always been a competitor, always loved a challenge and I saw this as my biggest challenge in life to date. When Micah gave me my diet plan and told me how important it was to stick with it, my first thought was, Oh wow, how will I ever be able to just eat that? But, the diet was one of the easiest parts of the transformation for me. Micah reinforced me every two weeks when he took my measurements. He said a large part of my progress was due to me sticking to the diet so well. I stuck to that diet like a bee on honey and never “cheated”. I felt if I did cheat, not only would I be letting myself down, but Micah, too.

When I began to see my numbers drop every two weeks, I knew I was on the right track. Of course there were days I would’ve rather done anything else but my cardio workouts. However, I felt that if I would’ve skipped a workout, it was just going to make the entire process take that much longer. So, I chose not to skip it and then enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment when I was finished with it.

As the weeks passed, I thought my workouts with Micah might get easier. On the contrary! He continued to find new ways to challenge me and push me to my limits. He introduced me to Tabata and 2 minute push-ups which took me to new heights. With my muscles totally exhausted at the end of my hour long sessions with him, I would walk out the door with a smile on my face and a positive compliment from Micah about what a great workout I had had.

I will say this, if you are not a self-disciplined person or don’t have a support system in your life such as a husband/boyfriend or wife/girlfriend, friends or family, then you may have trouble sticking with this program on your own. Micah will be a terrific support system when you’re working with him, but when you leave the gym, you need to have this in place on the home front, as well. My husband Chad was so supportive of me, cooked for me and was totally behind for the entire 24 weeks of my transformation. What a lucky woman I am.

So, no matter your age or your current level of fitness, you too, can do this. Like making any changes in your life for the better, you have to WANT to do it and then stick with it. With Micah’s constant support and wonderful training techniques, he will take you where you want and need to be. It may not be the easiest thing you’ll ever do in your life, but it will be SO worth it. I haven’t felt this great in over 30 years. Not only have I made a transformation in my physical being, the transformation I have made to my mental being is just as impressive. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to change my life, Micah. I will forever be grateful and hope that other women and men who think that it’s too late for them, will give it a try, too.

Marys Transmorfation and Photoshoot video

Marys 2 Minute pushup video

Sara 33 contacted me about 4 months ago wanting to get in shape. She was living a very hectic life juggling, relationship, job and children and had put her body and health on the back burner. She started with the 12 week online hitch fit program also coming in to see me a few times per month for a butt woopn workout and to get her bodyfat checked. Her transformation was amazing to me not just cause of the visual change but because she had so much going on in her life and she made it happen. In 12 weeks she lost 15 lbs of fat, tightened up her body but most importantly became more healthy and energized. The lifestyle I taught her was not one that called for 5 hours of workout commitment per day, it was all managable and realistic with her hectic life. She had to make changes within her nutrition, her workouts became more intense, day in day out feeling the changes happening right in front of our eyes.

Read her testimonial Below
I’m 35 years old and a proud mother of twin 3 year old boys! Needless to say, my life is a bit hectic with juggling work and home life. I have always been “active” but never consistent with my workouts. Even when I did make it to the gym, I felt like I was just going through the motions most days and I knew I was not pushing myself as hard as I could. I used to see people in the gym who were really fit and think, “well they haven’t had twins, or they don’t have this or that going on in their life…” I was hiding behind those excuses because I really didn’t believe that my body could change. I am a physical therapist and work on helping people rehabilitate and exercise everyday, yet I was not practicing what I preached. I first came across Micah through a co-worker who’s son and daughter in law trained with him (Jared and Holly), and there was an article in a magazine about their transformation. I was impressed, but I couldn’t get past how motivating Micah was. I remember thinking, “this guy really cares about these people and is not in this for the money”. I hesitated at first and then had a self-reality check that it was time for no more excuses! I knew if I was going to do this, the time was now and Micah was my guy to help get me there.

I was SO nervous at my first workout. I am pretty strong mentally so I didn’t want to fail myself or Micah. I couldn’t even do 5 push-ups in a row without going to my knees. Micah never let up though….each workout got tougher and tougher…it was like he knew my potential better than I did and he wanted to see me succeed just as much as I did. I sometimes would come to a session with him, thinking “I’m doing good, this isn’t going to be so bad today”…..yea right!!! Micah pushed me so hard each session that there were days I would sit in my car afterwards not sure if I had the strength to drive my car home

Most people who have worked out with Micah say this is more than just a physical transformation, and I completely agree! When you conquer your fears and things you never thought YOU could, the energy that transcends through every facet of your life is indescribable. The bottom line, is that there is NO limitations on your goals if you truly believe you can reach them. Excuses are like armpits…everyone has them and they all stink! Stop putting yourself on the back burner and take care of you! If you don’t you will never be able to be the person who need and are intended to be for the people around you. Let this be the year you let go of the negative! I will always be grateful to Micah for pushing me to the next level and seeing my potential when no one else could. When you are ready for a major butt-kickin, call Micah…I promise you won’t regret it!

I remember her coming in and thinking everything about her has changed. Her confidence and energy was skyrocket and she was capable of some pretty super intense workouts. Day 1 she was not able to do many pushups and 12 weeks later she is doing clap pushups, pullups and dropsets with ease.. Amazing.

Sara congrats on your hard work

I wish I could help everyone like this. Its why I do what I do.

Tracy was just featured on Bodybuilding.com for being female transformation of the week check it out

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/female-transformation-tracy-reid.htm

When she was in junior high school, she was over 200 pounds. Now, at 25 years of age, Tracy Reid has two body building competitions under her belt.

Fitness and weight training have become Tracy’s passion…her religion. In the tiny central Newfoundland community of Terra Nova, Canada. Tracy works out every day. In the basement of her parents house, where she’s set up her own little gym.
None of this happened by accident. In fact, it happened because of an accident. An ATV accident that could have taken Tracy’s life, and at the very least left her crippled. But out of that very bad thing came something very good. A story of pure grit and determination. The inspiring story of a young woman who got a rare second chance in life, and made the most of it.

Hi my name Is Tracy Reid and I am 27, from Terra Nova, NL… Well living in Fort Mac, AB Now thou But I came to know about Micah through a friend of mine Dwayne. I was a pretty active person and was really into the weights but doing Lacerte’s workouts just didn’t help me loose the weight, it made me experiment with my mind as well…

It was a mindset about the food, I thought my diet was good Until I got the sheet from Micah… It’s a lifestyle working harder than ever in the gym or at home. He well push you harder than you could ever imagine, it’s a change NOT a DIET which people say It’s a DAILY LIFESTYLE, So start Today and Micah well help You reach your goals, I promise you!!!

After 12 weeks of eating so healthy I normally get bored and sick of eating the same foods but with this program makes you not get bored of food, there are different foods to eat every day.

But before starting this program, You have to have the determination and the will power then the weight well come off. The confidence well come out, your jeans well start to feel looser and hey you have 10 pounds off, then You well want to continue on. Its not all about loosing weight, its about feeling good and most of all feeling healthy. There were time I thought I wasn’t going to succeed but Micah was also a facebook supporter, he helps you get through your worst days, he is a motivator as well… and will always answer your questions no matter what the question Is,.. he was such a great help to me in my final weeks of my last fitness/bikini model competition. I actually walked on stage with confidence, the FIRST TIME EVER!!!

THANK YOU MICAH!!!
