When I’m staring at someone swimming in their old “fat clothes" from their dramatic weight loss.

Is this for me?
Most of us have considered personal training before, but not everyone considering training is a good fit for Tyr Fitness. If you are committed to living a better quality of life then Tyr Fitness. You can make this commitment from any stage of physical fitness (from couch potato to shredded), at any age (from 16-80), or from any level of experience (what's a gym? to gym rat).
Where we're going.
This is not about where you are - it is about where WE are going. And we are going to a better life. One where our knees and backs don't ache every morning, where we don't have to cringe at the thought of attending a class reunion because we put on ten years of fat, where we can spend the day moving our neighbors furniture or chasing around our favorite rugrat, where exercise is challenging but exciting, where we can change our bodies, laugh and celebrate a win every time. We are here to lose the fat. Gain strength. Look better. And have a good time doing it.

My Story
280 lbs.
170 lbs.
My story starts at the bottom of a crippling depression, with a phone call announcing the unexpected death of my sister. Sitting there, on the floor, morbidly obese, in chronic physical pain, and emotionally overwrought, I realized that I had a choice. I could continue to live out of my depression and cause my niece and nephew to lose yet another important figure in their lives or I could take the path toward a better life. At first, my fitness story had absolutely nothing to do with my own self-worth or ambition. It was about realizing that my routine decisions to slowly decay were costing someone other than me - the people I loved and the people who loved me. This was unacceptable to me. They had lost enough.
I wanted to get up off of that floor and be the man they needed in their life. I wanted to be a combination of Marcus Aurelius, Jean Val Jean and Richard Francis Burton (he's not the actor). But I was none of those things. I was tired and sick (I smoked daily at that point). I ate terribly. I never exercised. I rarely smiled. This was going to take a lot of work.
That day was March 25, 2009.
And let me tell you what, it was A LOT of work. And it was nothing like the Biggest Loser. In the beginning, it was fear, feelings of inadequacy, despair, doubt, and the smallest twinkle of hope. In the middle it was growing confidence (did that woman just check me out!), boredom (I cannot run around this lake one more time) and learning I'd done about a thousand things wrong (what you mean you have to balance muscle groups?!). Now, now it's both background and passion. Background means I just know what it means to take care of myself as part of daily life. I'm 120lbs slimmer, my knee and back pain are managed well, and I am a whole lot closer to the man I wanted to be on that floor. Even so I still drink so much coffee that when I'm cremated I'll probably smell like French Roast. Get a few too many rum and Cokes in me and I'll want to wrestle you on the living room floor then refuse to go to bed (that might be fun for your wife and friends at 22 not so much at 42.) And I bet that Marcus Aurelius, Jean Val Jean and Roger Burton never had their wives chuckle and tell them, "Sometimes you're such a nerd" when they finished a ten minute speech on some book or movie or game.
