I have done the videos, trained in the big box gyms and been disappointed by "rep counters" disguised as Personal Trainers. I've found out over the years, every gym has a vibe, sometimes it fits, other times, it doesn't. So I set out on my own doing following CrossFit.com programming and found that it was the concept of functional movement that I loved, and I didn't have to try to fit in at a "Box" to be Fit.
I've gained the greatest education and experience from coaching many different shapes, sizes, lifestyles, capacities and varieties of humankind. The biggest lesson I've learned is that EVERY BODY is different and in order to be successful, they you must be met where you are, be involved with the process, and your training time has to be the best hour of your day!
This focus, on the whole athlete, is where JBC earns the 5 Star Rating. It didn't happen overnight, and I have gratitude for every athlete that's ever worked with me for the education!

This is the most critical concept to develop when preparing to adjust your lifestyle, whether the change is focused on your training, nutrition or both. Just like your muscles, your locus of control can be trained. Training your mind to focus on the things you can change, and your
Weight Management is More than Nutrition
Weight Management is More than Nutrition How Stress, Exercise and Sleep Affect Weight Tara Johnson - CFL2 Managing your weight and overall wellbeing is a trifecta of Nutrition, Training and Recovery. How we approach stress, Stress can be a major contributor to weight gain. Stress can trigger cortisol release, and that little bugger of a hormone, meant to give you energy to survive back in the caveman days, causes the modern, not a caveman human to simply store fat around the middle. Stress can also make you crave comfort foods, the quick carbs that release dopamine while giving you energy to respond to a fight or flight reaction your body may be having in response to stress. Sure, your brain may know that your stress reaction isn’t because you’re being chased by a lion, but your body doesn’t. When I feel like I’m not in control of things happening around me (hello global pandemic) I could control what I was putting in my mouth, and a giant bowl of Fruity Pebbles® was just the tic
