Take a look at Craig. Looks like your average guy. Right? That's what
I thought until I saw this guy that was the same size as me pull a 415
pound dead-lift like he was picking daisies. Or maybe it was the
physical strength he displayed on the rings with his ability to do
muscle-ups with ease that made me think that something was different about him.
Craig has improved my knowledge in all facets of exercise, diet, nutrition and supplementation by 10 fold. Since I started working with Craig I have been destroying my old PR's and busting plateaus with ease. Not to mention he has also helped me improve my posture, mobility, and flexibility which has helped to relieve shoulder pain that I had been experiencing for months prior to training under Craig.
I am amazed with what I am able to accomplish with my motivation and
Craigs know-how.

As we get older, to maintain or even lose weight is a task in itself. Well, that’s what I thought... I had gone through some battles that left me with extra weight to say the least. Craig has shown me a different light in my fight to lose this weight. I not only just lose weight but enjoy doing it. In the past, I loved to run and wanted to acquire that love again. I started slow and retrained on how to control my breathing and technique while bringing my fitness levels back up. Soon, I was comfortably adding miles to my runs. I am now up to four miles per run or more and have obtained my love for running again.
Craig showed me not only how to work out, but to know my body and what it needs to obtain my goal. He taught me an effective warm-up, which I have learned is a must. When I started I could not even do a lunge, never mind doing a set; now I have implemented them in every work out. I actually enjoy doing lunges now.
Not only did Craig show me how to eat well, he explained how the food I am eating can benefit my body. The recipes I received, which he showed me how to cook, were amazing. I thought to myself “I do not have to eat cardboard to lose my weight!” I am a woman, I love food! I do my shakes when I need to, but I also eat some really good food.

Craig is a motivational freight train. I have experienced life changing results having spent time with him. The times I worked out with Craig were the most fulfilling to date. Not only will you learn proper techniques and nutritional insight, Craig’s quest to cut the fat from present day self proclaimed fitness gurus is top notch. He has a simplistic and highly effective program that can cater to any individual’s needs. I am glad to know Craig and trust his word when it comes to peak physical performance.

"I have been "working out" at gyms for the past 15 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on membership fees and personal trainers and to be honest I have never felt I really knew what I was doing or why. Two months ago while traveling in Nepal I met Craig. I was immediately impressed by his extensive knowledge on nutrition, the body and what exercises work best for certain people. He told me about his fitness program and I knew right away that I had to try it. When I saw three sets of rings hanging from the rafters I admit I was intimidated, but Craig put me at ease with his patience and encouragement. What impressed me the most was how he was able to show me one simple move that would allow me to finally touch my toes after going my entire life without being able to do so. Years in gymnastics as a kid couldn't do what Craig did in just 20 seconds. I am so excited to continue with Craig's program and because of his understanding of body systems and exercise, I am highly confident that I will be in my best shape in no time!!!"

Problems always seemed to arise near Craig......
Well with good reason of course; he has solutions.
If this guy says he can make it work he will. Whatever your expectations are for Craig to help you, breathe easy he will develop multiple avenues for your success. For example, if you gave Craig a cow, a broomstick, two bicycle tires, some sturdy vine and three buckets carved from a log, he’d build you a means to travel and a kickass gym. I had the privilege working with him while he served in Naval Special Warfare as a Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen for 6 years. I spent 2 of those years supervising him in close quarters around the world fighting the Global War on Terrorism. I can certainly attest to his values and his character that sustains them. No matter how mundane, how ridiculous, or just plain “this isn’t our job” our missions were, Craig always saw it through with determination and accuracy. I could always count on him to see the bigger picture and keep the rest of the men from turning to mutiny. During deployments when the operations are slow many operators take advantage of the time and workout. Craig became known as the guy who’d get you started, get you through it, and see it done. It didn’t matter if you wanted to get ready for a triathlon, become the strongest man, or just come home looking better! He would research on our limited overseas internet and devise a plan to set you up for success. All you needed to provide was an ear, a clear head, and the ability to endure much pain. OK it wasn’t torture but your comfort zone must be breached. Your follow through and willingness to “change” is required as well when working with him. Craig will not disappoint nor let you down. He’s just not capable of such an action.

Barefoot Fitness has been such a great program for me. I have always ran and lifted weights on my own, but have never seen the results that Barefoot Fitness has provided. For me, the program has allowed me to reshape my body while feeling strong, fit, and much more confident about my post children appearance. I would encourage people of all athletic abilities to try it. The workouts are really tailored to fit your own strength level while pushing you go beyond what you think you are capable of doing. Being fit is more than just about working out, it is about nutrition as well. I have learned a lot in that respect also. In my opinion, your fitness level is limited only by your own dedication and desire to improve at Barefoot Fitness.

"Barefoot is the toughest workout I've ever done. Each day is different and your mind and body never get bored. I thought I was too old and out of shape to handle it, but I've surprised myself. In fact, the sessions are so challenging that I would quit if the results weren't so great."

Flabby, out of shape but running four miles four times per week, how does this work? It wasn’t…Eleven months ago I started Barefoot Fitness. I was one year past the birth of our third child, 160 pounds and a size 10. The workouts from the beginning were innovative, interesting and INTENSE. There wasn’t often a day that I didn’t come home sore and sometimes it would last for days. After 10 weeks I began to see amazing results with a decrease in my muscle crankiness. This was the first time I had been truly consistent with a workout, but this was because it was new, fresh and fun. No more boring dumbbells, crunches or bench press. I have dropped 6 sizes and lost inch upon inch. Aside from the slimming and weight loss, I have seen dramatic changes in my posture and ability to better serve my chiropractic patients.
Craig and Marshall have done an excellent job paying close attention to proper technique and muscle contraction. They have a unique way of taking basic body weight exercises and turning them into workouts that challenge the elite and strengthen the weak.
I will continue to use Barefoot Fitness to better my body in ways never imaginable. I would like to encourage others to be consistent and do the same!!!

"Craig's demeanor, knowledge, and his client's results have propelled him into the upper echelon of personal trainers and strength coaches. In an industry with little regulation, false claims and exaggerated promises, Craig's down-to-earth, realistic, and effective programming is a breath of fresh air. This guy knows how to get results. All you have to do is listen and work hard."

I no longer recognized my body after two back-to-back pregnancies in my mid-30’s. I wasn’t ready to join the “soccer moms w/ muffin tops and bad jeans club”. I joined Barefoot with hopes of just being able to get a glimpse of my pre-pregnancy body. Within 6 months I can clearly see accented muscle on my abs and know that a six-pack is realistic. Within the next 6 months I will have better body composition than I did pre-pregnancy. BF uses simple, efficient and effective training methods to get you the body you want. Added bonus: the instructors are knowledgeable and actually practice what they preach.
