You Say That Like It's a Bad Thing

"I met with Mariah and she said I could lose 20 pounds in 12 weeks. I hadn't successfully lost 2 pounds recently, so the idea of losing 20 pounds and down to 14 % bodyfat seemed crazy. Still I so much wanted a change, and wanted to believe it could happen, that I decided to sign up despite my skepticism and the fact it ......was a huge investment." - C, 51. 153lbs to 122lbs. Size 10/12 to a 2/4. 90 Days.


Author's Note: Why do all our testimonials start out, 'I thought Mariah was crazy...'? You all are fired as clients.

4 Weeks and Down 2 Sizes!

Yesterday Veronica Marquez Chambers wore a new
size and I got this text - "Hey just a quick thx for everything. I can
officially wear 2 sizes smaller now and that is just plain f-ing
awesome!"

Get it girl!!

Jillian's Near-Death Experience

Today I got a text from one of our clients who recently had a near-death experience.

She started in a Size 10/12 about 2 months ago.

A month ago she was in a size 6 when she had a near-death experience. In the hospital wondering if she would make it out alive, she recommitted to her Challenge.

2 Weeks ago she got back on it. This morning I got a text from her.

"Just wanted to share with you that I bought a size 2 jean today and they fit perfectly. Thank you!! I never thought it was possible after my [near-death experience] but it was :)" - Jillian

So what's your excuse?

The Burning Bush

"Two weeks ago, we moved to Austin. And I was moved by the number of farmer's markets, the social media-savvy population and of course, the city's collective level of fitness. Austin, not New York City, should be the at the center of the media's focus on this alternative lifestyle. The level of fitness involvement that people pursue here (grass-fed meat, organic fruits and veggies, sunlight and functional fitness) are sustainable over a lifetime and would be a great example to the rest of our inspiration-starved country." - Web & Lindsey Smith via crossfitchron.com

The New Guy

Are you ready to stare yourself down in the mirror?

"The New Guy"

20% to 8% bodyfat. 10 Weeks

"I am big on feedback. I rarely give it when it’s good and generally start with ‘I need to give you a little feedback’. So here goes…..

I need to give you a little feedback Mariah,

Never.. in my life.. have I felt like I do today.

As I near the end of this 12 week Revelationasation I have learned a lot of things. So, here is my list….

1. I can do anything – sometimes it hurts – but I can do it.
2. Food is my friend not my foe
3. Lift! - The weights I purchased for my home gym are going on craigslist. They aren’t heavy enough.
4. Sweat = reps = pecs
5. I like to run
6. I can do pushups with my daughter on my back
7. My body is me… and I like me now..
8. Don’t trust sweet and innocent – appearance means nothing when you train.

I am a little teary eyed writing you this, but FUCK!!! You guys…. Josh, Christina, you….. have changed my life. I see it in the mirror, I feel it when I take my little girl to the park and jump on shit like a little kid. I like me. And it’s only been 10 weeks. I have found the me I want to be.

God – We have a love / hate relationship. I love the results. I love to see your trainers leave.. I hate to see it end.

Big hearts your way chic. You delivered.

~b. - the new guy."

Free Workout 6/05/10 - "Arnie" - in Honor of Arne Backstrom

Revelation Fitness will be hosting a Free Workout

in Honor of Arne Backstrom, 1980 - 2010

Sunday, June 5, 11 a.m. at Stephen F Austin High School Track

Meet by the Pullup Bars

Arne Backstrom, 1980 - 2010

We will be doing "Arnie" - the Crossfit Hero Workout

"Arnie"

With a single 2 pood kettlebell*:
21 Turkish get-ups, Right arm
50 Swings
21 Overhead squats, Left arm
50 Swings
21 Overhead squats, Right arm
50 Swings
21 Turkish get-ups, Left arm

*women will use 1.5 pood. All weights are scalable for all individuals including beginners

According to the Associated Press, Arne's dad Steve Backstrom told King TV in Seatle that he's "naturally sad," but added his son "had 29 pretty awesome years and a very quick ending."

A friend quoted in the AP article made a great point: "We all thought he was immortal." Yep. That we did, and that he was. An old soul - too good to die so young but probably way too good to be trapped inside one body for too long.

As the friend went on to say: "He's just the smartest, athletic, humble, stoic person. He was just a great example for everyone."

Coach Mariah prepared for the workout on Saturday at Westlake Crossfit.
