It was February 2008 and I went to get a physical. At that time I was told the following:
I had a resting heart rate of 98, my blood pressure was very high my cholesterol levels wer through the roof, and I was close to being diabetic and insullin dependent for the rest of my life.
I was 268lbs and a bodyfat percentage that was off the charts
I knew I had to make some choices. Life choices!

Hello! I'm Kelsi Cooley, a 22 year old from Athens, Ga. I am a personal trainer, fitness intructor, figure competitor and fitness model. My competition history started in high school when I entered the Miss Teen Pennsylvnia Pageant. After high school, I moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia and I started college at the University of Georgia where I majored in Nutrition Science. It was while I was in college that I began working at a gym where I met a friend who introduced me to my current coach, John Crolla. Getting ready for my previous competitions was always difficult for me mentally, physically and spiritually. My body was in good condition, but no matter what I did, I was never satisfied with how I looked or felt on stage. Upon meeting John, he set me up on a pre-contest diet as well as a training and cardio program. I no longer had to worry about anything...I put myself in his hands. Once the contest preparation was completed, it was time for me to step on stage. At this point, I was the most muscular, symmetrical and leanest I had ever been. This gave me so much confidence on stage that I placed in the top 10 at a National Level contest. My love for health, fitness and competing has driven me to work hard every day and realize that anything is possible if you work hard and never give up. This year, I am looking forward to competing in as many shows as possible. It is a great feeling to not have to worry about a thing and know that I will go into each show better than the last because I am in great hands.

Over the past six years I have trained for professional fights and really had no clue about diet or supplements, basically doing whatever the coaches said. Now that I have become a superstar, in one of the biggest fighting events THE WCL (World Combat League by Chuck Norris), I realized that I really needed to step up my nutrition and supplementation regime to stay at the elite level. I have never been comfortable with the nutritional coaching given from the local sports nutritionists because they usually directed me towards a bodybuilding program and had very little knowledge of the sport I was involved in. John Crolla from Peak Sports Nutrition came into my fight club to give a nutritional seminar and I was immediately impressed as to how the nutritional advice given was very specific to my needs as an elite fighter. As I started to work with John and opened myself up to his nutritional consultation and supplement advice, I started to instill these practices in my training. I was able to keep up the energy levels needed for my intense training program all while maintaining my desired fighting weight. John Crolla from Peak Sports Nutrition has made it possible for me to continue my superstar role and my undefeated streak. I do not believe that I would have achieved fame or my status within the WCL without the guidance from my nutritional partner, John Crolla.

Over the last 6 years I have been a team leader with one of the most demanding athletic organizations in existence, The Power Team. We were asked to push our bodies to the limits day and night for up to 35 to 40 weeks out of the year. With many offers on the table from various supplement and nutrition companies we chose John Crolla and Peak Sports Nutrition for one word and one reason...Results. Over our 2 year relationship with John Crolla and Peak Sports Nutrition we saw exactly what we were looking for in our athletes, reduction in body fat, increase in endurance and lean muscle mass and improvement in joint health that allowed us to keep the rigorous schedule we had to keep. When I began a company of my own, Generation Next School Assemblies, there was absolutely no question what company and what individual I wanted watching over our athletes. I can say with no hesitation that John Crolla would be a great asset to have as a part of any athletic program .

I grew up playing sports and put myself through college as a personal trainer. Although I had a very muscular body I hardly had any definition. I was challenged to do a bodybuilding show of which I accepted. Weighing in at 250 lbs. and 17% body fat I needed to lose 52 lbs. to be in the light-heavy weight class. Having only 12 weeks to achieve this I knew I had my work cut out for me. I had met John Crolla from Peak Sports Nutrition as we were both members of Gold’s Gym in Acworth GA. and we had always talked about working out and sports nutrition. I asked him if he would be my nutritional consultant and trainer for my event. He readily accepted and immediately started me on a 1500 calorie diet and a 6 day a week work out schedule consisting of two 45 min. sessions of moderate/intense cardio per day, and 1 hour work outs focusing on
Testimonials
I decided to join Knuckleup Fitness in Sandy Springs GA. I signed up with one of the personal trainers there, Matt Callahan (read his story under the testimonials) who guided me through muay thai kickboxing and weight training.
Matt advised me that the exercise regime that I was undertaking was a great start but what I really had to do was to talk to his nutrition coach John Crolla at Peak Sports Nutrition.
I went to Peak Sports Nutrition and was consulted by John who then designed an eating plan, implementing John Scott's Nitro sports supplements. This plan was very specific to my needs and also to my daily schedule. I have to say that this program was not easy, did have its challenges and I did falter at times, but John always had my back, changed the plan when things got stagnate or my body wasn't reacting anymore to the eating plan and I am a testimate to where hard work and motivation can get you.
It is now February 2010, and I now stand before you at 210lbs (58 lb weight loss) 11% body fat, a resting heart rate of 52, my cholesterol is dramatically lowered to where it is not a concern anymore and the great part out of all this, diabetes is not even an issue. My pant size is now a size 34 down from a size 40!
I feel great, have lots of energy, and now am active in Boot Camps and Fast Twitch classes and the Forum with Craig Hraygil and Roman Fortin.
The reality is that John Crolla and Peak Sports Nutrtion have eating plans that work. They are specific to your needs and take into account the human side and reality of life when it comes to working out and eating.
major and minor muscle groups. I was amazed at the transformation that my body was going through in such a finite period of time. As I approached my targeted weight, I could not believe that I was capable of achieving the kind of leanness and muscle definition that I regularly viewed in the top magazines. I stepped on stage at the USA Coastal in Atlanta Georgia at 198lbs and 3 % bodyfat. I do not believe that I could have achieved this goal without the dedicated help of John Crolla from Peak Sports Nutrition. I have now focused my training and dieting towards an appearance at the 2009 NPC Georgia Bodybuilding and Figure Championship. I know I will have a great showing at this event because once again, I have John Crolla from Peak Sports Nutrition in my corner.
