Sometimes an opportunity is all one needs to find that inner strength. In September of 2016, the opportunity found me, an overweight, Type 2 diabetic, with high blood pressure, in need of a major change.

I begain my successful journey with a 12-week transformation program instructed by Dave DePew.

I completed the program with a loss of 20 pounds on the scale and 10% of body fat. In exchange for the fat loss, I gained my health. I’m now stronger, leaner, and healthier than I’ve been in years.

On my own, I never came close to these results, but thanks to Dave’s knowledge, support, and the dedication of all the trainers, I’m truly transformed. Now with the guidance and inspiration of everyone at Grinder Gym I entered my first strength competition winning a national title and American record in my age and weight class. Grinder Gym provides the right trainers, tools, and positive environment for success.” – James P
