Client Story: Callie Smith

The picture included above is Callie writing on our #Gratitude board earlier this year. She wrote that this was the best thing she’s ever done!

Meet Callie.

Callie is 83 years YOUNG and has been active her entire life.

We love talking about Callie because she inspires all of us.

Callie came to Prototype Training Systems  6 years ago because her daughter Rebecca ( @rebeccaw195 ) encouraged her to try out a CrossFit class.

She was hesitant at first because she didn’t think she would be able to it.

Most of us look at things we’ve never done as scary but sometimes those end up being the best decisions made.

Luckily, Callie trusted Rebecca and she is still physically able to do functional movements pain-free.

COVID has been a scary time for a lot of people, but Callie stuck with her fitness.

Prior to COVID, Callie trained with Coach Jon 1-1.

Callie now trains twice a week for 30-minute sessions (virtually) with Jon. Her daughter Reb joins her because “the technology thing isn’t her thing!”

Callie told Jon a story during a personal training session about something that happened at her last doctor’s appointment. Callie was sitting and talking with her doctor and then was asked to get weighed. She stood up and her doctor was in shock! He couldn’t believe that she was able to stand up without grabbing onto a railing or put her hands on her leg.

Callie has always prioritized exercise and nutrition and it shows how important building these habits early in life pay dividends as we age!

We don’t just one day wake up and aren’t able to move. Living an active life and eating well is how you can be strong just like Callie!

And it’s clear these values have been passed on…

Her daughter Reb continues to workout in our CrossFit classes at Prototype almost daily.

Her son in law (Reb’s husband Rich) does 1-1 training with Coach Joe on a weekly basis and is crushing it!

Her grandson Timmy started training with us in our kid’s classes in 2013 and has become an absolute machine!
