Example for new members 🚨DO NOT REPLY IN THE COMMENTS. CREATE YOUR OWN POST🚨 Name and location: My name is Cole. I'm 24 and live in San Diego, CA. Goals: I’m extremely passionate about health and fitness, and my goal is to help the people around me experience the same transformation I did. I truly believe when you take care of your physical health, everything else in life starts to improve too — your mindset, confidence, discipline, relationships, and overall happiness. Right now, my main goal is maintaining my physique and staying as active as possible. In the past I’ve trained for things like marathons and specific race times, but currently I’m focused on learning how to dunk a basketball. For reference, I’m 5’10 and around 175 pounds, so I’m definitely not built like a typical basketball player — but I’m committed to giving it everything I’ve got and proving to myself what’s possible through consistency and effort. Background: I grew up in a small suburb outside of Chicago, Illinois. I played sports growing up, but eventually quit everything to pursue skateboarding full time. I’ve been skateboarding since I was 7 years old, and for most of my life that was my entire identity. A lot of people see me now and assume I’ve always been healthy and disciplined, but honestly, I used to be the complete opposite. I was drinking almost every day, eating fast food constantly, neglecting my health, and just living without intention. I was tired all the time, unmotivated, getting sick often, and honestly just depressed. About 3 years ago, I had a really bad skateboarding fall that completely changed my perspective on life. It made me realize how important health truly is and how much I had been taking my body for granted. From that point on, everything started to change. I quit drinking. I started training consistently. I became intentional with the foods I was eating and the habits I was building daily. Slowly, I started noticing massive changes: My energy improved.
