From ‘Twig’ to Triumph: My Personal Fitness Journey & JerkFit’s Birth

Hey there,

 

 

Jeff Hunter here, founder of JerkFit.

 

I'm reaching out with a story very close to my heart, one I believe could inspire your own journey.

 

My fitness path wasn't straightforward. Dubbed 'twig' in my youth, I was skinny, with a metabolism that didn't do me any favors.
Fast forward to college at Arizona State University, I was 5'10 and just 130lbs.

 

Attempts to bulk up were futile, until life, as it does, took a turn. Entering my late twenties, the once speedy metabolism hit the brakes. 

Suddenly, the weight began to pile on. Life as a bartender in Hollywood demanded fitness, not just for the look but the feel.

 

So, I ventured into CrossFit, lured by the promise of 20-minute workouts. Little did I know, this 'lazy' commitment would redefine my life.

 

The initial phase was brutal. Each session left me spent, questioning my choices. Yet, amidst this chaos, my girlfriend (now my wife) and I found our calling.

 

The transformation was beyond physical. Our confidence soared, stress dwindled, and our social circle expanded with genuine connections.It was this new found passion that led us to a gap in the market.

 

The products that we longed for to protect our hands didn't exist. So, we took matters into our own hands. 

WODies, followed by Nubs, were born out of our one-bedroom apartment, crafted by my wife on her sewing machine.

 

With zero business know-how but a Mountain of newly acquired motivation, JerkFit came to life. Reflecting on those days, it's clear. Without committing to our fitness journey, JerkFit simply never would have been a thought

 

Fitness didn't just change our bodies; it unlocked a version of us we never knew was in there.

 

My story is not uncommon, it's a story you will find over and over again; when one commits to transforming their body, it leads to resilience, strong habits, confidence and ultimately their mind levels up in ways you can't imagine.

While you may not start the next JerkFit, I believe fitness to be the transformative power that will unlock your untapped potential. 

 

Maybe you already can relate? I'd genuinely love to hear your story
