A life-changing transformation- it really is possible!

We're so grateful to one of our members, David, for allowing us to share his success story with you! People come to work with us for many different reasons- some are working on weight challenges, others on fight training or self-defense goals, and more. A running theme at Smash Hit is that we celebrate the accomplishment of our goals, big, small, and sometimes even life-changing, such as the story that follows.

"It's a familiar story, I'm sure, for alot of people.  My weight crept up slowly through high school, and then into my 20's, reaching a high of near 400 lbs. I was stuffing down my emotions with food, I was celebrating with food. Food became everything. The bigger I got, the more food I ate. The more depressed I became, the more food I ate, and the less I moved.  I was considering different alternatives to lose some weight, but doing nothing about it. Then, the first event that changed everything happened. My buddy had a heart attack at 27 years old. Talk about hitting me square in the face. He was younger than me, and I was clearly bigger than him by at least 100lbs. I saw myself in that. I saw myself getting even bigger, smoking more cigarettes, finding other addictions, and eventually having the same fate as him, but with a deadly outcome. Thats when I decided to make changes. From somewhere deep in my core I wanted something better. I decided to enlist the help of dietitions to guide me nutritionally. The weight started coming off. I stopped smoking. I was feeling great. Still without an outlet I was seeking something to put my energy into. Thats when the next life changing event happened. I found Ken Levy. I was still a  pretty big guy when I started with Ken. I was never the athletic type, and I wasnt sure if I could keep up. But with his training and guidance, I was able to shed the rest of the weight. He never judged me. He taught me the skills that was needed and kept me motivated. I was inspired by him and motivated by both him and his team. I fell in love with boxing. Hitting that bag for me was better than anything I could stick in my mouth. Still is. I am so grateful to have found in myself the drive to be a healthier man. And I am so grateful to have found Ken to empower me to push through all the limitations I had put on myself. For anyone who doubts that they can have a great workout with boxing..... try it. And if you don't think you can keep up..... you can!"
