Hey Jeff,
I really like the new “tweeks” to the website, it flows like it should and has great eye appeal. I should say though, that I have the inclination to paint your new profile pic green and add a caption that says “You won’t like me when I’m angry.” LOL…Keep it up and I’ll eventually make it to a session!!!
Hey Jeff,
I knew you were into Crossfit, had no idea you and the wife were trainers. You both look great, and this plan has tweeked my interest. You think you can whip an old friend into shape?
