Michael started at OTF Ladue 2 years ago, and his physical and mental transformation has been incredible. We’re so proud of Michael for committing to the process and staying the course every week. He’s a huge part if the 5am crew and a living example of the ability to achieve more life at Orangetheory.
“For four years, I tried working out on my own and at other local gyms, but struggled to see results. Over the past two years, I’ve been consistent at Orangetheory Ladue, going six days a week. The encouragement from the coaches and the Transformation Challenges have helped me keep showing up and see just how far I could go. The structure and variety makes me actually want to show up everyday. I also changed the way I eat, focusing on whole foods and cutting out red meat, pork, processed breads, alcohol, soda, butter and fried foods and following a Blue Zones diet. Altogether, I’ve lost 80 pounds. I’m incredibly grateful to my Orangetheory coaches and community for being such an important part of this journey.”
