"...He talke me into working out with him once and I haven't looked back since!"

Beau Ash's Success Story

My name is Beau Ash I am 26 years old and I serve in the United States Air Force based at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas Nevada. I grew up in a small town in North Dakota where health and fitness was not a highlighted issue. In a family where food was a way to show love and no knowledge of nutrition by the age of 16 I was 5’ 10” and weighed an unhealthy 225 lbs. After making the decision to join the Air Force I lost 75 lbs and became very aware of how food affects your body and overall outlook on life. When I got stationed Nellis I quickly fell into the gym lifestyle and loved every minute of it. I have always believed in nutrition over everything. I was very one track minded when it came to the gym though, either I was a bodybuilder to gain muscle or I became a runner to lose weight. I have done everything from a bodybuilder’s bulk to build - to running marathons. It wasn’t until started training with my long time gym friend Mark Harris that I quickly came to realize how wrong I was. I always saw Mark doing a lot of different workouts that I really saw no point in doing. He talked me into working out with him once and I haven’t looked back since. The outlook he had on overall body and life fitness was eye opening. He helped me find a new found love for the gym that over the years I had forgotten. He showed me how to put my strengths to good use. The whole body work outs he puts me through has taken my fitness and physique to a whole new level. I have never been stronger nor had better cardio system then I do now with the help from Mark. I am currently 6’ 2”, I weigh 205lbs with 10% body fat. I can bench 315lbs, dead lift 405lbs and can run a 21 minute 5k. The lessons I've learned have also carried in to all areas of my life; I am very thankful to Mark for that. And the knowledge I have gained from him and his workouts will forever remain with me. I will always keep his energy with me and try to pass it on to as many people as I can and help others as Mark has helped me.
