Congratulations to our Hero of the Month, Travis

Congratulations to our CF4551 member of the month, Travis!! Travis has only been with us four months but has achieved so much. He consistently turns up to training with a great attitude and has made some incredible changes in his short journey. Travis has also just completed our 30 day Paleo challenge with outstanding results, the photos speak for themselves, well done mate.

Travis – September Paleo Challenge Winner 9.1kg & 8.5cm lost.

It almost cost me my relationship.

I spent time away for a while to re-evaluate my life and seek the help I needed. When I returned home, I had a bad attack and was rushed to hospital where my blood pressure was at critical damaging levels.

Something that I never knew until a month ago, the ambulance officer that was treating me that night told my partner if he doesn’t change his lifestyle soon, he is heading for an early death.

First thing was out with the smokes cold turkey.

I also almost lost my job due to my deteriorating condition. I came out to everyone at work that I was suffering with severe depression.

I had been talking about CrossFit for the last three years, I even spoke last year to Mick about coming to CrossFit to get in shape for my wedding. It never happened!

Finally after lots of talking about it I took the plunge and started my CrossFit journey.

Starting at a scary 127kg and after only four months down to 111kg. I am happy, healthy and with made so many wonderful new friends that have really change my life.

To Michael Bonney and everyone at CrossFit 4551 who have helped me along this journey, THANK YOU I can’t express in words just how much you have all helped me change my entire life, now I have friendships that will last forever.”

” I would like to put it out there, that Paleo is starting to make a massive difference in my life my fitness level has increased massively, my taste, my sense of smell, my mind is sharper than ever, my mood is better, my ability to motivate the work crew…. All of it’s better! Creating smiles all round.

I don’t think I have ever experienced, such a transformation in such a short period of time. What an amazing difference and proof of what the power of eating clean and strict Paleo can do and make a difference to a person’s life.. And others..
Thank you!” – Nick
