Working with Coach Jeff and Fortified Fuel has truly been one of the most important and rewarding things I have experienced in my fitness journey. I started CrossFit in 2018 and loved it, continuing through the end of 2020 when things shut down. I didn’t do much in the way of fitness for a few years. I started CrossFit again in June 2024 weighing in right at 250 lbs. I stayed consistent but didn’t see any physical changes or changes in weight for over a year. Then I met Coach Jeff in July 2025 and he told me a little about what he did and I was immediately interested. I started with Coach Jeff in August 2025 still weighing 250 at a height of 5’11” and 46 years old. He explained everything to me and laid out our starting plan. It didn’t take long for the weight to start moving. Coach Jeff truly cares about his people, he checked in with me several times a week offering tips and encouragement. He adjusted my nutrition if there was something that I didn’t like or something needed adjusting for me. I had a weigh in with pictures every 1-2 weeks which helped keep me motivated and accountable. He adjusted the plan in phases to keep the weight moving, which confirmed to me that he was very knowledgeable in nutrition. I must say the encouragement is the best, he truly wants to see you succeed. As of May 2026, I am down over 50 lbs, 2 sizes down in shirts and pants, all while retaining muscle. I can say when the scales starts moving slower, watch your body transform, muscle continues to build while the fat continues to burn. If you commit and do your part, I guarantee the Coach Jeff and Fortified Fuel will help you reach your goals and inspire you every step of the way.
