Derrick's Story

I came across BodyUnion as I had worked a few trips with Chuck at Cn where he had talked a fair bit about about training and nutrition with me. I had told him how I needed to regain my mobility as I had injured my back a couple years previously and was struggling to get back to where I could train, golf or play hockey and have it be enjoyable and pain-free again. 

 

I had tried many times over the past couple years to do workouts and correct things for myself but to little avail. The internet was overwhelming with information and it furthered my stress around the issue as I didn’t really know what was gonna actually help or hinder me.

 

 Chuck shared his story with me about the back pain he had for the majority of his life and how it was one of the leading reasons he became a trainer and specialized in corrective exercise. How he wanted to get back to doing the things he loved most not all that different from my own current situation. 

 

My main goal when I signed up was to get back my mobility so I could feel both mentally and physically fit again. Through having honest conversations and trusting the process laid out I was able to drop 20 lbs, get back my mobility and be pain free in 3 months.  Not to mention be in the best shape I’d been in for quite some time. 

 

My biggest takeaway was that having a crazy work schedule didn’t mean I couldn’t find the time to take care of my health and my body so I could feel and perform at my best. One thing that served me most on the journey was to just getting up and moving every opportunity I could, even if it was just for 10 mins.
