482 days apart.
From 215 lbs in the worst shape of my life,
To 154 lbs at 7% body fat in the best shape of my life.
I lost 61 lbs of pure fat.
That first photo was taken out of anger.
After college football, I let myself go and gained 61 lbs.
My clothes got tighter, my favorite shirts stopped fitting, and my confidence faded with every passing month.
I started hiding in baggy clothes, avoiding mirrors, and wouldn’t let people take pictures of me.
The day I took the first photo was on vacation.
After another day of pretending, I walked into the bathroom, pulled off my shirt, and confronted what I had become.
I felt sick.
Humiliated.
For someone who had a six-pack since 5th grade, staring at my love handles literally made me sick to my stomach.
I took that photo on the left and made it my lock screen.
It stayed my lock screen until the day I took the photo on the right.
I don’t ask my clients to do anything I haven’t done.
I’ve been exactly where you are.
I know what it’s like to feel sick looking at my reflection.
To feel like a shell of my former self.
But I also know what it feels like to finally look in that same mirror and smile, EXCITED, CONFIDENT in who I am.
That’s why I coach.
That’s why I love helping men.
I’m the coach for you that I wish I had for myself.
I’m on a mission to create the change I wish to see in this world, one man at a time.
I won’t promise it’ll be easy.
But I can promise you this:
It will be absolutely WORTH IT.
Stop lying to yourself and GO GET WHATS YOURS.
I’m Rooting For You,
–Coach Riles
