My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad

May 29, 2024BaywayCFBlogblog, competition, crossfit0

When I was a kid, “My dad can beat up your dad” was a phrase I heard a lot. It’s not really about actual fighting—it’s more about the confidence kids have in their dads. This confidence usually comes from seeing their dads do stuff like working out or playing sports. Kids don’t really understand jobs...

April 26, 2024BaywayCFBlogbaytown, crossfit, gym near me, supplements0

Whey protein is one of the most well-studied supplements in the fitness industry, and if you’ve been around the gym, you’ve likely heard of it or even used it yourself. Despite its popularity, many still overlook its critical role in post-workout recovery. Here’s why incorporating whey protein, particularly whey protein isolate, into your routine is...

Life in 2021/2022 felt insurmountable. Like many, my struggles were mainly of my own making, a series of decisions that led me down a path I hadn’t intended to travel. I lost sight of who I was and, in the process, let myself go. This isn’t a unique story; it’s a human one. Yet, acknowledging that didn’t make the experience any less daunting.

Taking that initial photograph wasn’t about vanity or self-pity. It was a promise, a reminder of where I refused to stay. It marked the beginning of a relentless quest not just for physical transformation but for a total overhaul.

The journey was anything but linear. It was punctuated with highs and lows, moments of unwavering dedication in the gym and the kitchen, and periods of relapse into old habits. Yet, each setback was a setup for a comeback.

BayWay CrossFit isn’t just a gym; it really is a sanctuary for me. Here, I am surrounded by positive people who believe in me, reminding me of my worth. Without that, my journey may never have started.

Although I’ve always done CrossFit, and BayWay CrossFit has always been the best, I wanted to add something to my routine to be sure the monotony didn’t hit while on this comeback. So I started jiujitsu. Practicing two challenging disciplines like, CrossFit and jiujitsu, turned every day into an opportunity for small victories. Even on days that seemed tough, finishing a session meant I had won. It was proof of my progress, both mentally and physically. This combination kept my workouts exciting and my mind sharp, transforming my daily routine into anything but routine. More than just shaping my body, it strengthened my mental health, pushed away the darkness, and filled each day with a sense of achievement.

Reflecting on the person I was in 2021/2022 a shell of my potential, unhappy and broken, it’s almost surreal to confront the person I’ve become by 2024. This transformation journey underscores a vital life lesson: no matter how deep the abyss is, there’s always a way out. The climb may be taxing, fraught with obstacles and moments of despair, but it’s unequivocally possible.
