Tejal’s Story 🙌

“I first joined ECA four months ago. Climbing a mountain is a big goal of mine and preparing for that in a basic home gym wasn't going to suffice. ECA seemed to be a good option in the neighborhood. It was spacious, followed COVID protocols, and the gym environment was welcoming. The gym is well-equipped—I'm a fan of those hydro-beds!

Since joining ECA, I’ve reduced my body fat percentage from 34% to 29.5%. I’ve increased my skeletal muscle mass by 3 lbs while cutting down 5.7 lbs of bodyfat. I haven’t lost much weight on the scale, only 1 lb, but my body composition has changed quite a bit in 4 months! I can also do gym movements better.

I’m not looking for PRs, I just try to come to the gym consistently. I am part of the Champions Training Program and I try to make it to the class 3-4 times a week. The Champions community at ECA is nice and the coaches are friendly. They break down the complex moves for you, so you don't feel lost if you don't know a certain movement. I pay attention to the scoring (rounds + reps) equation which they follow, and I try to give my best to get the maximum points I can each time!

Once a week I do yoga for active recovery and on weekends I go for one strenuous hike with increasing backpack weight. To build-up leg strength, I signed up for personal training sessions with Millie once a week, which generally go in-sync with the Champions class.

I am a recreational hiker and I'm taking it up a notch this year with mountaineering as a goal. I have signed up to climb Mt. Baker this year. It's going to be a 3 day climb of 10,781 feet with a 40+lb backpack in the last week of June. The last big hike I did was Camp Muir (Rainier base camp), which is 4,640 feet of elevation in 8 miles with a 30lb backpack at 10k feet elevation. Thanks to my training regimen, I was able to complete it successfully! Counts as a small win towards the big goal.” 💪

Great job, Tejal! Swipe 👉 to hear what Coach Millie has to say.

Lindsay’s Story 🙌

“I have been doing Champions Training for one year now and I’ve lost about 16.7 pounds of body fat and gained nearly 7.3 pounds of muscle mass. Ever since I started working out consistently, I've noticed that it's much easier for me to stay on top of other aspects of my life, such as my coursework. The discipline that it requires to get to the gym and push through a workout on a regular basis carries over easily to things such as studying.

My favorite part about Champions Training is the people! I LOVE the encouragement that I get from the coaches and the other members, but I love encouraging others even more. The atmosphere is always positive, and I adore the feeling that we're all in this together. My current fitness goal is to bench 100 pounds and deadlift 170 pounds. I'm really close to achieving these goals, so they're stepping-stones to my longer-term goals of benching a plate (i.e. 125 pounds) and deadlifting 200 pounds someday.

As a full-time student I have a limited budget, but the investment that I've made in myself through Champions Training is worth so much more than the membership costs. I had no idea where to start when I first signed up, but now I know that I'm capable of achieving the results that I want and I'm confident that I know what I'm doing when I walk into a gym!”

This Sunday, April 24th, Coach Ryan and Coach Andr

This Sunday, April 24th, Coach Ryan and Coach Andre will be running the Mt. Si Relay in Snoqualmie, WA. They'll each take on running 50 miles, while they aim to raise funds for Mark Zenobia who was recently diagnosed with ALS.

Ryan met Mark while training for the Chicago Marathon in 2019 for Team Reeve. Mark spent 17 years with the Reeve Foundation, helping coach thousands of runners, and raise millions of dollars towards fighting paralysis. Unfortunately, Mark himself was diagnosed with ALS in 2020, and we are now working together to help support Mark on his medical journey, as he has done for so many others!

We're asking for help through a few different ways:

Mark has set up an account to receive donations to pay for future medical expenses through the non-profit Help Hope Live. Help Hope Live collects all funds through this platform for Mark, and then they will pay Mark’s medical expenses with his available funds when he submits bills. We have a goal of raising $10,000.

The link to Mark's fundraising page is in our IG bio. ⬆️

If you find it more convenient, ryan is also accepting donations through venmo @ryandequintal, where he will match all contributions!!

As Andre and Ryan work together to tackle 100 miles total, we're also asking that you log some miles running, hiking, biking, or walking on Sunday, April 24th. Ryan will be tallying the total distance travelled, with the hopes of tallying over 1,000 miles. You can either reply with your commitment and Ryan will tally the total, or use #miles4mark on social media, tagging @ryandequintal and @reevefoundation.

If you're not on social media, just email ryan@emeraldcityathletics.com with your mileage.

Thank you so much for your support! 🏃 🙏 💚
