Before I had stumbled into Krank Pompton and had met LJ and the Krank Team I was no stranger when it came to fitness & health. I was a former athlete during my high school days and had previously worked with a personal trainer for 2 years during my mid college years. I had prior injuries that was aggravated by my experience with my previous trainer and doing CrossFit with an inexperienced and under-qualified CrossFit Coach.
I had gained a lot of weight during my senior year of college due to stress, depression from a really bad break up with my ex-girlfriend, and regularly being around alcohol and bad food. I was moving back to the area when I stumbled upon an ad for Krank. I was initially hesitant to come in and try it out at first due to my previous experience doing CrossFit and the intimidating cult like culture I had experienced.
I had met LJ, the owner, his assistant and GM Josel, and trainer Valerie during my first week working out at Krank. At that point I had recently just quit smoking and drinking. What I loved during my first week was the non-judgmental and supportive nature of everyone working out. It was still a very intense workout, competitive, but most of all what I loved was I felt like I was part of a family.
Getting in shape doesn't have to be tedious, monotonous, and boring. LJ and his team are highly experienced professionals with years of experience in the fitness industry. I love working with LJ, what makes him different is his caring and down to earth attitude. He's not your typical gung-ho trainer. He's very dedicated to helping you get in the best shape possible with a sharp attention to detail and up-to-date and innovative approach to fitness.
Josel his assistant is also a very dedicated trainer with a background in physical therapy and is also a former athlete. I enjoyed working with him as he's incorporated physical therapy and rehabilitation into his group training and one-on-one sessions. I used to suffer from chronic lower back pain and a tight neck before I started incorporating Josel's methodology.
It's been 8 months, I'm not depressed anymore, I've dropped tons of body fat, gotten rid of my chronic injuries, packed on 15 pounds of lean muscle, and have tons of energy. If you want to get the group fitness experience, never be bored working out, & have the one-on-one training all packed into one, I highly suggest you try it out for a week.
One week turned into 30 days, 30 days turned into 8 months. "Do Work Son!" read more
