Kim Gordon, a member at The Club at Morristown, began her journey to a life-changing transformation today. She was the recipient of over $2,000 worth of training and nutrition consultations to help her reach her fitness goals. Kim's initial weight was 208 lbs. Her goal is to lose 50 lbs. over the next 3 months. She's extremely motivated and one of the hardest workers I know.
The single mother of a daughter with Autism, Kim is motivated to get in shape and set a good example for her daughter. "She needs me in top shape to help her manage school, her difficulty with communicating, her friends, and her daily experiences," says Kim. She is also competing in a leg of a Sprint Triathlon, and has been training for that as well. The triathlon is in memory of her late brother in law, who lost his life to a massive stroke at the age of 54.
Kim will be coming in for training sessions 5 days a week and have bi-weekly nutrition consultations. She will also be participating in Small Group Training classes. This is all on top of her swim sessions to prepare for the triathlon. She was also a participant in the 90 Days til Summer Challenge, in which she lost 15 lbs. With her training stepping up in a big way, Kim is confident she will reach her goal weight. Kim says "I would like to lose 70lbs and I’ve been working at it but I think my body needs me to step it up a few gears! I have lost over 7 inches total since I started working with Matt. I think given the fact that I have so many pounds to lose and being a woman in her mid 40s it’s been a slow go in terms of total weight loss."
Her first session consisted of a metabolic fat burning complex, which I've named "Hurricane Kim." This combination of complex movements gets the heart rate up, fires up the metabolism, and builds strength and endurance. She did 3 sets of 8 to 10 of the following 7 exercises, back to back without rest.
Sumo Deadlift
Kettlebell Snatch
Barbell Push Press
Medicine Ball Slams
Barbell Squat
Overhead Reverse Med Ball Throws
Vertical Med Ball Throws
If you see Kim in the club, please wish her luck on her journey.
