Kelly came to Vitality looking for a challenge. With a background in gymnastics, kenpo, and tai kwon do she was more than able to perform tasks placed in from of her. Her strength relative to her bodyweight is outstanding. This strength has helped her in many facets of functional fitness.

Recently Kelly decided to participate in the 2011 NPC Utah Open: Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Championship. Training for such an event has required her to completely redirect her focus. She now spends 6 days a week in the gym “lifting traditionally” for aesthetic purposes. Her dedication to the competition has taken full affect. She has altered her diet drastically, spent countless hours researching the competition, and has three different coaches helping her prepare for the event. The competition is scheduled for March 19^th 2011.

“Currently, my biggest commitment rests in the upcoming competition. I think it's easy for someone to make a goal for themselves and even easier to come up with excuses not to meet it. Five months ago I set a goal to compete. As much as I would love to eat cupcakes all day, I remain committed to training hard, eating right, staying focused and giving my best effort until the moment I step off stage. My intentions are not to take a certain placing, but instead knowing I worked my buns off (or on, rather) and deserve to be up there with the other girls.” –Kelly McCartney

Ryan has been an active part of Vitality since March 2010. His dedication to fitness and growth is indescribable. His drive, focus, and mental capacity are like non other I have seen. Even after reconstructive surgery on his knee, and an unfortunate skydiving accident resulting in a broken back he has come back to crush any goal I set for him. Ryan’s brain does not allow for stagnation, so his future plans are ever evolving.

Ryan is a national champion skydiver. He is a professional skydive instructor with over 5,000 jumps and countless hours in the wind tunnel. His main focus this year will be competing in national skydiving events, and hopefully world’s. Even with most of his attention driven towards those goals he still finds time to run, bike, and swim, which will allow him to participate in his first sprint distance triathlon the summer of 2011.

Ryan had this to add, “while blossoming into an american consumer, I played football, baseball, wrestled, power lifted and crushed hella track. Skydiving consumes most of my time. I recently transitioned from work/fun jumping to pro competition. As an individual I am committed to doing anything which sets me apart from what I'm told to be. I loathe authority and question everything and everyone. If I'm told something is status quo, you'll generally find me doing the opposite. Most of all I question myself. Can I go beyond the pain threshold established by my brain? Can I extinguish burning anxiety? I am committed to finding out.

My future plans are to do whatever my brain resists. Dan Dennett said, "the only meaning of life worth caring about is one which resists our best efforts at examining it." I want to examine the parts of myself which my brain, body and will resist being examined. Hopefully in the end I will find meaning to my life.”"

TJ Bottom and I have had an ongoing relationship for roughly 10 years; we often saw one another at local gyms lifting and such. Conversations about training together were few and far between, but he approached me in March of 2010 seeking a facility in which to train. He had been to other facilities and strength trained on his own, but had not yet really found a place in which he deemed home. He entered Vitality with an open mind, and a desire to work. Since then, TJ has helped me and many others find a much-needed outlook on life, and training.

Being product of an active upbringing TJ has been engaged in sports since the age of 3 (skiing/snowboarding, basketball, surfing and swimming), but has found himself most active in mountain sports: snowboarding, hiking, and trail running. He has been employed and immersed in the Action Sports Industry for 12 years now, working with Burton Snowboards, Analog, and Volcom to name a few. In doing so, he has had the opportunity to engage in sport around the world and continues to venture out in seek of new adventures.

Much of what TJ has done this passed year is accredited to his efforts over the passed few years lifting and practicing functional fitness. He has been trained to firstly mentally prepare himself for whatever he does; this preparedness allows him to excel at whatever he wants to do.

TJ has a great outlook on life, and a strong work ethic inside and outside of the gym. When asked about training he typically relays that, “anyone can pick weights up and put them down, and anyone can move them, but altering your perception towards yourself and your life, which then transcends into meeting your physical goals, be them aesthetic or performance based is primary. I am interested in unlocking your mind, your body always follows.” Because of this position TJ has set goals for himself for the year of 2011 that are both fun, and challenging.

TJ has great absolute strength in many facets, but has chosen to spend 2011 Running and Cross Training, and staying healthy doing so. His first activity will be participating in the Salt Lake Half Marathon with me projecting a finish time under 1:35:00. This run will help prepare him for his first marathon in San Diego on June 5^th, 2011. After this he plans on re-setting himself, and participating in a couple fun runs including the Freedom Half Marathon, a relay at the Utah Half Ironman, and a 17-mile steeplechase. These will all further prepare him for a final marathon in Portland this October, where both Steve Chapman, and myself will join.
