I have been involved with Chad Hall and The Fitness Hall for the last 4 months. Prior to joining, I was someone in their 40’s who did just intermittent workouts in the past doing the usual boring things like some weights, treadmill, elliptical trainers etc. and due to my busy schedule, even that was not regularly. I was a bit concerned about how I could possibly do this program after seeing what his program is modelled after, the Crossfit program which I viewed on Crossfit.com. I also had concerns about injuries because I had not done any real weight training in the past using Olympic style weights.
Chad is a very mature, knowledgeable, highly motivated and energetic individual who allayed all my fears and concerns by spending the time to explain in detail all the basic components of this program. He spent a great deal of time viewing and reviewing the exercises and analyzing my technique to ensure that not only the exercises were done properly in order to gain maximal benefit, but that they were done to avoid any injury.
I have been amazed as to what I have achieved so far. It has been beyond my own expectations. My endurance and strength have increased and I have been able to lose weight such that I get comments like, “wow you look great” and “you really look like you are working out” and the best one, “Hey you’re really looking strong and skinny these days”.
I am a family physician and with the positive feedback I have had from my own patients about my appearance, I have been recommending this to not only my friends but my patients too. It takes the boredom out of the routine programs that we all do as the workouts vary daily as does the duration of the workouts. If you are old or young, fit or sedentary, ideal body weight or overweight, you will benefit from this program as I have and as I have seen other participants do also.
Chad’s energy, pleasant nature and positive force really motivates anyone who comes into contact with him. He will push you but respect your limitations too. Although the actual program components are the “fitness” part, I really feel Chad Hall has been the true success behind my own achievements. I could not see myself doing this program anywhere else than The Fitness Hall, a nice, clean, well kept, small gym in beautiful downtown Hespeler, and with anyone else other than Chad Hall!!
Check it out and give it a try. You won’t regret it.
