Darren's Candid Q&A
In an open-hearted Q&A, Darren shares the raw reasons behind his decision to start his fitness program—battling health concerns, fluctuating energy levels, and self-loathing. His struggles with consistency in diet and exercise resonated with many of us who have experienced the start-stop cycle of fitness regimes. Darren's reflections showcase the power of the supportive community at Underground Fitness in making sustainable life changes.
Why did you start the program? I just didn't feel well and I was really struggling with my weight. My blood pressure was starting to climb, I had little to no energy, and I felt like I had no muscle mass. It felt like everything was going in the complete wrong direction and I started having a lot of self-loathing.
What were you struggling with before starting? Consistency. Consistency with eating better, with regular physical activity, and so on. I have started and stopped various fitness programs most of my adult life. Nothing ever seemed to stick or made me want to continue going/participating.
What're the biggest changes you've noticed in yourself? Lots of things! I feel SO much better - I have more energy, I can do things I wasn't physically able to do before, I am happier, I am sleeping better, and my self-esteem is way better. Stella has gotten her groove back!
What have others noticed and pointed out? The physical change is the most noticeable. Some have commented that I look younger and healthier. I've also had comments about my ability to do more physical activities now.
What results have you seen in your journey? Besides the weight loss itself, I've noticed a lot of physical and mental changes. My self-esteem is so much better as well. I now enjoy things that I used to hate - like shopping, etcetera. I have had to replace most of my closet. I have been able to eliminate most of my medications. I just genuinely enjoy being out in the world again.
What advice would you give anyone on the fence about starting a program with Underground Fitness? Just do it. If you aren't good at holding yourself accountable (and a lot of us aren't), then let UF help you. I think of it as contracting out this work. I know I won't do it on my own, so I hire someone to help me be accountable. If things aren't working for you in life right now, find something that does. It doesn't have to be a dramatic life change - those huge changes are rarely sustainable. Start with something small. Joining a gym is a great first step in doing that. I like UF because it is not your typical gym packed with people leaving their weights everywhere and hogging all of the equipment. It's a real community where we have a lot of fun and help hold each other accountable! Plus, you can help push me to my goal! :)

Carl Newsome
I, like most overweight people, have tried EVERY DIET imaginable with very little success. After years of battles and struggling, my weight reached my all-time high of 425 lbs in 2020 and I felt absolutely sick. I decided I had to do something. Much like everyone does, I cut out some foods and started light cardio. I started losing weight almost immediately! The first 50 lbs melted away pretty quickly, but then I plateaued. I was stuck. I started counting calories and adding more movement with no success. Luckily, I saw an ad on social media for Underground Fitness. That is where I met Gavino and Tripp. Both are excellent trainers. From day one, they pushed me and kept me accountable. Today, I weigh 235 lbs and I am still losing weight steadily. We have adjusted my goals and constantly adjust my strength training to push my limits and continue to make gains! My next goal is to break that 200 lb mark, and I feel confident that I will achieve that with Underground Fitness. Here, I’m not just a barcode that comes and goes. If I don’t show, Gavino is calling or texting me. He pushes when I need him to and doesn’t allow any excuses! That’s what has worked for me, and I have been able to stick with it for this long. I can’t say that about any other workout regiment or gym membership!
