I came to Barrett 30lbs overweight, injured for almost a year and a half, and completely lost as to how I was ever going to make my way back to being healthy; let alone ready to play competitive soccer again, something I have done continuously since I began playing at 8 years of age.Barrett worked with me to come up with a game plan with 4 goals in mind:- Address my injuries- Build strength- Regain agility and ability to perform explosive movements- Controlled loss of weight gained while injuredAll four of these goals were realized to a more than satisfactory level. We addressed my known injuries and even uncovered two unrealized injuries during the first month. By month two, we had advanced to building strength and recovering some of the stamina that was lost from doctor recommended rest and recovery. By month three we began working on agility, plyometrics, and compound movements.In month four, I was out of town for most of the month, but the base built in the preceding 3 months motivated me to keep pushing and I was able to utilize exercises and training methods learned to push myself while out of town and away from Barrett's watchful eye.I returned in month five ready to be pushed and that is exactly what Barrett did. Everything was proportionately ramped up and my body was able to handle the increased loads because of the work put in over the course of the first four months.My results are fantastic and I don't believe I would have been able to get to where I am now without Barrett's help. I started running again; and while it is only 1 mile at a time, this is something I had not been able to do since I was first injured in 2024. I played in my first competitive soccer games in two years and came out of it unscathed, uninjured, and not nearly as sore as I thought I would be. I also was able to resume regular sporting activities with my two young daughters...something that is more important to me than any other goal reached!I went in to Hill Country MVMT looking to get my body back to "normal"; where I could just do the simple things like playing with my two girls, cooking Sunday gravy, or riding a bike without pain or discomfort. By the time I had completed my 5 month program, I was 15 lbs. lighter, able to play soccer again, and motivated to keep my progress going.It has now been a little over 2 months since my last visit with Barrett and I am still going strong. I have lost almost 25 of the 30 lbs. gained while injured. I am running once a week, strength training regularly, and played almost the full 90 minutes in my last soccer game. I couldn't be happier with my results and highly recommend Hill Country MVMT, but more importantly Barrett for all of his attention, patience, willingness to adapt when my body was not responding, and determination to push me to reach my goals even when I was not able to muster the will internally.I will be eternally grateful and appreciative for Barrett and Hill Country MVMT :)
