CrossFit Amelia Island has been honored to work with Heidi Stevens for the past 4 months. Heidi came to us with an interest in preparing for the Ancient City Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness show.

Heidi works for Baptist Health in SouthSide Jax as an Exercise Specialist in their Physical Therapy Department. She lives at the Beaches and when she isn't working out near her home at World Gym she is training with us. Most of our Coaches and Athletes have had the chance to meet Heidi as she has been traveling to Amelia Island 3-4x/week. No doubt both her her husband, Scott and their two kids have felt the impact of her intense training over the past 16 weeks. We congratulate all of them on her success.

Within the past months she increased her training to decrease bodyfat and increase her Lean Body Mass; performing two workouts per day. Usually this started at 5a.m. with a smaller session and then finished her second session around 7pm.

Heidi stuck to our CFAI Paleo diet with a few modifications on the final two weeks of preparation. In the end she ended up putting on about 3-5 lbs of Lean Body Mass and decreased her bodyfat by over 10 lbs.

She was able to stick to our rigorous CF WOD's. While others spent HOURS in the gym...Heidi was able to keep her intensity HIGH with CF and cut the usual preparation time spent in the gym in 1/2.

Way to go Heidi!

Wow!! I still can't believe I did it!! This was the most challenging athletic event I've ever done and worth every bit! I couldn't have made it all the way through without Doug's encouragement, motivation, and direction. Thank you Doug!
With the intense workouts and strict diet I wouldn't have stayed sane without the unbelievable support of all my new friends through crossfit at Amelia Island! Thanks guys, you are great!! :)
