Throwback to one of my favorite transformations.

Oscar worked a 9-to-5 and, truthfully, he never enjoyed working out. It wasn’t something he was naturally drawn to, and that’s exactly why his story is so relatable.

At some point, he realized that if nothing changed, nothing would change. So he made a decision to take ownership of his health instead of waiting for motivation to magically appear.

Three months later, he had lost over 10 pounds.

What I remember most isn’t the number on the scale, it’s how the results started coming once he became consistent and committed to himself. He proved that you don’t have to love the gym to build a healthier life. You just have to be willing to start.

Oscar and I worked together quite a while ago, but I still remember how much fun we had throughout the process and how rewarding it was to watch his confidence grow week after week.

Looking back at transformations like this is a reminder that change starts with one decision: taking responsibility for your health.

Proud of what you accomplished, Oscar. 👊

🇩🇰 and Europe ain't ready for what is coming!

You are not allowed to come back until you get at least 2 M 🌟, smol b*tch!

Time to be undeniable!

Like every journey, it does not matter how much you love it, it will eventually come to an end.

When I started here, I never thought in a million years that it would take me where it did. Miguel & Samantha took a massive risk putting a 22 year old in charge when I had no frigging idea of what I was doing (I still barely know what I’m doing lol). For that, I will be forever grateful.

It’s been 8 amazing years with ups and downs, but those are the experiences that build you as a person and a leader. I owe this place more than people realize. My wife, the relationships I made and built along the way, some relationships that went beyond coach and member to become close friendships, and some people I talked to like they are family. Building my career, my business, traveling around North America, winning accolades, and so much more.

Orangetheory will always hold a special place in my heart for what it did for me and for what the brand is about. Was it an easy decision? No. It took time to process and come to terms with it, but I am a big believer that when your heart is telling you to move on and take on the next challenge, you have to listen. Otherwise, what you once did for love will become a chore, and that is not something I am willing to do, especially to people who are so special to me.

I am ready to take on a new challenge and focus on building my business. It is a scary, but necessary, challenge, and I’m excited to see where this next chapter takes me.

My last day as an Orangetheory coach will be September 19th, as I complete my 5000th class.

Plenty of time to get enough of me 😉

With this, we sort of conclude the Japan saga.

Amazing country, amazing experiences and I got to do it with my favorite person Lauren Hamilton 🫀

Tameila works 12-hour shifts as a UPS courier. On her feet all day, driving, lifting, delivering.

She didn’t come into this chasing a number on the scale. She came in trying to build habits that could actually survive her schedule.

Better sleep, real meals instead of whatever was fastest, workouts that fit before a long shift instead of competing with it.

It wasn’t smooth the whole way. Some weeks the 5am alarm felt brutal. Some weeks, meal prep got pushed to “later” more than once. She said so, honestly, instead of pretending it was easy.

With guidance and a little encouragement along the way, she kept adjusting instead of giving up. And 24.5 lbs later, the biggest change in the whole program that’s not really the headline.

The habits she built are.

This was never a diet. It’s a performance system and the results follow when the habits are real.

Universal

First ever roller coaster experiences, one piece theme ride and a 360 degree flying dinosaur. I don't think Canada’s wonderland can beat that 😅.

Japan’s most beautiful garden and samurai city.

Anime city: Osaka (It was a good surprise, I did not know this😂)

Pictures don't do justice!
