Jackhammer Strength Training`s Top Gyms in Columbus, Ohio

Happy New Year Let the fitness New Years resolutions begin. If you want to be successful give the little guys a chance, avoid the big box gyms, do functional training, and do not drive to wait to be on cardio machines. Every one of you is more a machine than any bike, any rowing machine, any elliptical, any treadmill, any smith machine, or any other machine out there.

 If you do not know what to do their are apps, their are over 400 gyms just in Columbus. Over 27 crossfit gyms in Columbus, If I did not own a gymJackhammer Strength Training this is the list of gyms I might go to in no particular order: The Spot Athletics, 11 Athletics, YMCA especially Hilliard, Groveport Rec Center, Body By Greg, Power Shack, Premiere at Sawmill, RPAC and other OSU facilities. I am sure their are many other quality gyms but I have not been to them or know what they are doing at them. 

Where ever you go do not expect to get into shape over night. It took me 9 years of lifting to get to the elusive 300 pound bench, it took me 30 years to go from 14 to 21 pullups, it took me 20 years to hit a 514 pound hex bar deadlift. Yes I have lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks, I have also put on 50 pounds in one year. Both of those occurred when I was 23. If you would like my help with any fitness goal message me and figure out a time to come in. We do small group training think of personal training plus conditioning. We have a 6 week partner transformation challenge starting Monday and I would love to help some more people. ‪#‎gettingbetter‬ ‪#‎jackhammerstrengthtraining‬

What My Proudest Fitness Achievements of All Time should Mean to You

My ten proudest fitness achievements of all time

1. Doing the Murph workout in under 45 minutes
2. Running 2 miles in 12:30
3. Bench pressing 300 pounds, hex bar deadlifting 514, and box squatting 500
4. Losing 30 pounds in 6 weeks
5. Doing 200 kettlebell snatches with a 35 pound bell in under 9 minutes
6. Doing 20 pullups in a row
7. Finishing Tough Mudder
8. Dunking a softball on a regulation hoop at 5`9
9. Kicking the winning goal to seal the first Columbus Jackaroos MAAFL championship
10. Scoring off the kickoff against the National Barbados 19 and under soccer team.

What does this all mean to you.  It should mean I am an athlete that knows how to lose weight, knows how to gain weight, knows how to get strong both in the power lifts as well as body weight training.  I have competed at a high level and have helped hundreds of people with their fitness goals from losing 80 pounds to firming up that booty.  Oh yeah!  The Dukes theme song just came on.  That`s right I am listening to the Johnny Cash channel as I write this.

What are your ten proudest fitness accomplishments of your life?  Did you run a 5 k?  Did you do the Warrior Dash?  Did you join a group training program?  Did you admit you need help and turn to a professional?  Did you overcome your fear and head in those doors and try out something new?  Did you go back for day two?

Why did you go back for more?  If you did not go back why did you not go back?  Did the trainer push you too hard?  Were you too sore to move the the next few days and swear off exercising for ever?  If so do not feel bad that happens to countless people especially in a large group setting.  Remember that old saying pain is weakness leaving the body.

Here in Columbus there are over 400 gyms, adventure racing groups, couch to 5 k groups, marathon groups, strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit, fitranx, big boxes, YMCA`s, 24 hour gyms to rent machines, and even triathlon groups!

Set a goal, make a plan, if you need help with that plan find a gym that works for you, find a workout partner or an entire group with similar goals, get to it, and conquer it.  Visualize the end goal, take action, and accomplish everything you ever wanted.
