Life is a series of compromises.  We must all find our own balance of work and fun, of pleasure and enjoyment, of veggies and ice cream.

I have struggled with obsessive and disordered eating patterns since high school, and can honestly say I’ve never enjoyed working out. Since snatching with MFF, I’ve dropped two sizes, lost 19 lbs, 3 inches off my waist, 1.5 inches off my hips, 6.6% body fat, and YEARS of shame and fear. Mark and the team make it about quality of life, about embracing what frightens you, and about allowing the entire experience to be about what getting better means for YOU. The body I wanted always seemed like a fantasy, but the unreal support of everyone at MFF (and by that I mean the ENTIRE ninja community) has made me realize that I can have anything I want - I simply have to get after it and take it. I love these guys. Ridiculous humans with ridiculous amounts of heart.

I jumped into MFF hoping to shed some bad habits and give my waning fitness regimen a much-needed wake-up call.  Before I knew it, I was training smarter and more confidently than I have in a very long time.  I found myself more mindful of movement and form, and I discovered my love of the kettlebell.  Nutrition-wise, the MFF approach gave me a new awareness to my daily food choices, and tracking what I ate made it very apparent where I could improve.  By the end, I was seeing results that had previously felt unattainable, and the knowledge I gained in the areas of both exercise and nutrition is something that will always stick with me.

Taking SNATCHED was such a stroke of brilliance. I have always been rather healthy but have never really known what it was like to push myself in a work out. Now I definitely know. With every class I learned how much more I could push myself and the results became clear. I now have a healthier body and outlook on how to lead my life. Not to mention, laughing my way through a work out with unicorn loving fools definitely made it go by faster!

I reshaped my body in 6 weeks! Not just carving inches off my waist, but also building muscle, strength, and speed. Even better than the reshape is the renewed energy and drive I feel! Mark is truly an inspiration in and out of class! He pushed me hard and made it so fun and exciting to keep at it! At those moments when I was ready to stop, Mark would totally inspire me to keep going with his endless fountain of energy and support!

Mark Fisher, Mark Fisher, Mark Fisher, how do I count the ways?  I’ve been going to the gym for years, doing vanity workouts for arms, chest, abs, etc., but it was in the last year that I decided to take a different approach to fitness.  I wanted to focus more on strength and core stability; looking good would just be a bonus. I had trained myself, but I hit a plateau and wanted a deeper understanding and new way of working out, and that’s when I found Mark Fisher Fitness. 

I had gotten to the point where I think I forgot what it was like to be an athlete. I didn’t have the drive I used to have and working out seemed to only happen by accident. I couldn’t figure it out. I had done this for years, why couldn’t I just get back on? Then, I watched a friend become a MFF Ninja. I wanted in.

I’ve been on a fitness journey for over two years. So far I’ve lost a total of 20 pounds. However, Snatched really pushed me to the next plateau and I lost 7 of those pounds in just 6 weeks! Additionally I’ve lost 4 inches around my waist and gained an inch in my chest. As someone who never liked working out or paying much attention to my own body, Snatched has really changed my perspective on diet and exercise. I love challenging myself to meet my daily protein and calorie goals. I love kettle bell swings. I love feeling my abs when I walk down the street. I love respecting myself enough to say “no thank you” when someone offers me a french fry. Honestly, I can’t thank you enough.
