Warrior of the Month: Viv Hynes

I first began my fitness journey at TFW in 2021. Before that, I was a competitive swimmer, but when COVID happened, swimming stopped like so many other things. After months of not having an athletic focus, I noticed that I was not happy with myself mentally or physically.  My eating became an outlet for boredom and after gaining noticeable weight I knew I needed to change things.   

My dad took me to my very first TFW class, which was a 5:30 p.m. session. When I first walked through the door, I was nervous to start, but then soon realized that everything was going to be okay.  My anxiety subsided when I realized that not just my dad was supporting me, but everyone at the dojo was welcoming and encouraging.  After just a short period of time the 5:30pm class became my new daily routine that I looked forward to.

While I continue along my TFW journey, I have really taken to heart two lessons. The first lesson is that fitness is key in life. Months after joining TFW, I was not only feeling great physically, but mentally I was much happier.  My confidence was improving, and I once again enjoyed shopping for clothes, having gone from sizes 6 and 8 to 2 and 4.  It is hard to imagine how much more optimistic you become when you realize you can achieve anything with hard work. 

The second lesson, and maybe the more important lesson I learned, was about surrounding myself with people who support me.  I noted that as I became happier, positive people were drawn to my life.  I have since let many pessimistic people go and I no longer choose to engage drama and negativity.  Being at TFW was key to this change because at TFW everyone encourages each other, and no one is ever condescending.  Every member is supportive, which makes working out there great and even more, the environment at TFW really does feel like a second family.

Do you have fitness and health goals or adventures that you want to achieve like Viv?

TFW will help you physically and mentally prepare for the battlefield called Life.

Warrior of the Month – Jack Reed

The MARVELous Transformation of  Lax Captain America Jack Reed

My experience at TFW started in the fall of my sophomore year (August 2019). I was motivated to be a part of something with my lacrosse team, and to have a little fun. I had no idea the impact TFW would have on my life without me having to go into a Steve Rogers transformation portal.

I was 5’11 and 160lbs when I began my TFW journey. I jumped right into the training sessions hoping to put on weight and become a stronger athlete. The coaches customized a plan for me which included nutritional guidance, a daily protein, water and caloric goal and or course a training program.  The TFW Coaches pushed me, motivated me and believed in me from the start. The progress I was making by consistently following the plan was tremendous.  I trusted them more and more as I became stronger both physically and mentally. I began to see the benefits of having a positive mindset and how to establish more discipline in my day to day life. Constantly hearing affirmation of my Coaches voices in my head, I began to have even more success. I’ve been now training for three years and making great choices nutritionally outside of the weight room my results have been  extraordinary.  I am currently 6’1 and 210lbs. I feel stronger adding 20 lbs of muscle and I am ready to hit the weight room in college and continue pursuing greatness in my athletic and academic career.  The physical and mental fortitude I have developed from training will show me the way.

While at TFW, I met wonderful people in the community and found a passion for personal fitness. I made connections that will last a lifetime with people from all walks of life that value the same things as I do.  Training For Warriors has provided me with what I needed. I grew close to the coaching staff and look forward to working with them during my college breaks. Coach Squats, Jacob, and Johnny show great love for what they do and make the TFW experience complete. They always have a great story and a positive message. TFW provided me a safe space and everyday I spent there was enjoyable.

LET’S GO PVHS CLASS OF 2022!

Warrior of The Month – Kiko Jimenez!

Training For Warriors has been fantastic for my physical and mental health for well over 6 years. The culture and community created by the coaches and students are very supportive, encouraging, non judgmental, and highly motivational.  The TFW program has helped me climb to the top of my with my strength, fitness and health goals.

I joined TFW 18 months before turning 60. I told Coaches Phil, Tyler and Johnny that I wanted to climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro before my 60th birthday with my 2 daughters. The summit reaches a monumental height of 19,341 feet tall! All of the coaches and 5:15am Familia helped me stay focused, helped me improve my strength and endurance so I could attack my upcoming adventure. Sure enough Mt. Kilimanjaro proved to be quite a monumental challenge but I conquered it and made it to the summit! And that was almost 5 years ago!!

TFW motivates me to get better with my nutrition, to adopt healthy habits, and minimize “not so good” habits.  I’ve learned to train smart but yet train hard. The emphasis on recovery, sleep, and working around injuries, and not pushing through them has made a big difference. Most importantly I feel strong, fit and healthy going into year 65!

LET’S GO TFW!

Warrior of the Month Stephanie Cox

5 years ago, at the age of 42, I was in a bad spot both physically and mentally. I never previously had a weight problem, but due to stress, depression and hormonal changes, I had put on over 40lbs. I have always been very active and had some form of workout routine, so it was very hard for me to look at myself in the mirror.
