There are only a handful of core memories that people define their lives by.
And this will always be one of them.
Last night I was honored to receive the 2023 Advisor of the Year Award at the 1st Phorm company banquet.
This is an incredible honor that I owe to a multitude of people.
I have had too many mentors and friends pour into me over the years than I deserve and I owe it all to them.
I owe it to @andyfrisella whose unwavering vision over the last 25 years has led the company to this point.
To @mrfrisella for pouring his heart and soul into each of us every single day, just to help us live out our dreams.
To @willgrumke , @_austin.davis1 , & @meg_laferla for without their instruction and direction I would be no where.
I owe it to every single person I have coached for making this the most enjoyable year of my life. Our Team is without a doubt the best and most amazing there could be!
And last but not at all least, my beautiful, wonderful wife whose support and love has carried me through the hardest days and into the brightest of times.
In March I asked what I needed to do to excel.
The answer was simple, become undeniable in my role. Become the best I could be in my current position.
So that’s what I focused on.
And as I reflect over the last year I feel that I have so much more to give to the people I coach.
This award is not the finish line.
It is the starting point.
I will continue to earn this award every single day as it signifies the fact that everyday I wake up, I get to help countless amazing people reach their goals.
I am beyond blessed and grateful
One thing people often tell me they want when they start working with me…
Confidence.
They want the confidence to go to the pool and take their shirt off.
To look good on vacation.
To head out on the boat and not be ashamed of themselves.
Confidence doesn’t come from sitting on the couch eating Cheetos.
Confidence comes from doing the work required to earn the result.
Summertime is here.
☀️ ☀️ ☀️
Many of you have been enjoying the warm long days.
But I bet some of you would enjoy them more if you could lose those 10-20 pounds over the next 8 weeks.
You don’t even have to sacrifice your fun.
I can show you how to enjoy summer and earn results.
If you can commit to 8 weeks of work I can help you earn that confidence.
The 1st Phorm 8-week challenge is here.
DM me for a link to sign up and let’s get started!
Ever since the Spartan trifecta weekend 3 weeks ago I’ve been battling an injury.
Whether I pulled or strained something in my adductors/hip flexors I don’t know.
I know it’s painful with every step as I draw my leg up.
I know it’s throwing off my gait and causing issues with my knees.
It’s causing shin splints to come back too.
You have to learn the point where you need to take a break.
And unfortunately this is that time.
I’m Going to have to pause running.
See what I can do with physical therapy,
And maintain my conditioning on the bike.
Hopefully a few weeks or a month off will help it heal and I can get back to training for the marathon!
6 months of hard work by @jgals32
Over 70 pounds down
He has taken control of his health and gained years back on his life
It’s not always been easy.
There have been hard times and plateaus.
But Joe continued to show up in the gym and in the kitchen.
He prioritized himself and didn’t make excuses.
Great work Joe!
Happy to have a woman like you!
A decade ago I didn’t know how amazing you truly were.
I guess I still don’t know as you continue to surprise me everyday with your strength, love, and caring.
In good times and bad,
In sickness and in health ❤️
I’ve realized I sweat more than the average person so I have to hydrate more than the average person.
Just a 2% loss in body weight from sweat can lead to performance decreases.
This is due to decreased blood volume and an increased heart rate and core temperature.
4% can lead to heat cramps,
And 6% or more could lead to heat stroke.
During these hot months it’s vitally important to make sure you’re drinking enough water.
If you simply weigh in before you run and after you can figure out how much you lost!
For reference, I drank 2 liters while on this run and still lost weight.
So if you find your HR increasing more than it should, or excessive cramping, you’re likely dehydrated.
DM me if you need some more information on this!
Enjoy Summer and earn results.
At first glance you may think these two can’t go together.
You think that summer must be filled with endless barbecues, beers, and weight gain.
Well it doesn’t have to be.
You have the choice to still earn results over the next 3 months.
Even while heading out on the boat, or enjoying a pool day.
Taking along a 1st Phorm Protein stick helped me stay out of the kids snacks and hit my daily protein goal.
You can wake up early, enjoy the long days, and get some exercise in all before 7 AM.
You can learn to make delicious and healthy treats fit in your plan, like this PB cheesecake!
If you want to make progress but don’t know where to start, I suggest you download the 1st Phorm app.
I’d be happy to show you exactly what your game plan is to crush your goals while enjoying summer.

It’s not a secret
Pre workout is a very popular supplement!
And today it really helped me get in the gym and put in the work.
I’m not always intrinsically motivated to go do the work I need to do.
Sometimes it takes a kick in the but.
And today Megawatt did that for me 🫡
Not even a full year of work yet and @dominicsanta has absolutely demolished his goals.
This man has pulled out all the stops.
Gotten ride of all the excuses.
And I couldn’t be prouder of him and his progress.
He’s a busy father just like many of you out there..
But he put a priority on his health so that he can live longer and live better for his family.
Dominic is also on day 66 of 75 Hard!
What has he done to get here?
🔹He has been using the @1stPhorm app
🔹Tracking his food
🔹Hitting protein and calories
🔹Drinking his water
🔹Walking daily, lifting weights
🔹Utilizing foundational supplements like Full Mega, Opti Greens-50, and MicroFactor
🔹Drinking Level-1 protein shakes
🔹And recently threw in the 1-DB Fastpack
It takes work, and time.
But you can do it too!
