Today is that day again. To give honor where honor is due. And, to no other better deserving gentleman. I had to sneak some pics the other day to try and not make it obvious, hence the angles. But,Bart is extraordinary to say the least. He came into this gym as part of our co-ed 6 week challenge years ago. He stuck with us and came in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He then added in the Tuesday class, and with a strict diet plan he’s lost over 100 pounds!! That’s life changing. I began to notice something years ago, and I’m not sure if it is our culture or human nature, but the difference between when something is life changing verse life enhancing. I feel that when something has a life changing impact, there is no back sliding… because what is there to get back to. I’ve not just seen a man that was trying to enhance himself, but I see someone who walked through a desert to get to the other side. Bart’s extreme dedication, his enthusiasm that he brings to this special class, and his progress that for most is difficult to fathom, is what I think sets someone outside the barrier that merely “enhancing” constrains and reduces to. If all I want to do is make money, or buy a car, or lose 10 pounds, enhancement will only be a let down because when someone enters that life changing moment… there’s no looking back, and you live above your limitations, and Impossible transforms into “I’m possible.” It is there within the word itself. So be like Bart and expect for more, and inspire, and persevere, and be triumphant! Great Job Bart… and keep up the amazing work!
And he killed the Open!
