Coppell Fitness Trainer Helps Local Professional Lose Weight, Gain Confidence, and Conquer New Goals
Jon Griffin’s story is one many busy professionals can relate to.
Living in Grapevine, TX, and working as a petroleum landman and in-house legal counsel, Jon’s days looked the same: wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, sit on the couch, and repeat. Over time, his weight crept up—hitting 250 pounds at one point—and he was getting close to a size 40 waist.
That’s when he decided it was time to make a change.
The Wake-Up Call
Two moments hit Jon hard:
A Mountain Hike Cut Short – On a trip to New Mexico, Jon found himself winded and aching on a trail he used to handle with ease. He turned back before reaching the summit, and it bothered him deeply.
A Wedding Deadline – With his son’s wedding coming up in St. Thomas—and knowing old friends would be there—Jon was determined not to feel embarrassed about his health or appearance.
Why the Old Way Wasn’t Working
Jon had tried working out at the Grapevine REC center, but it was always the same routine—some weights, a stair climber, and the occasional class. Without a clear plan or a workout partner, it felt like drudgery.
“I could muddle through a workout,” Jon said, “but I never felt like I was accomplishing anything.”
The Get You In Shape Difference
When Jon joined our Coppell group personal training program, everything changed:
Accountability – Trainers checked in and ensured every exercise was done with proper form.
Supportive Community – A family-like atmosphere where everyone encourages each other.
A Real Plan – Structured workouts that were challenging but achievable.
The Results
Since starting the program, Jon:
✅ Dropped from 242 to under 225 pounds (hitting his goal weight)
✅ Went down a waist size
✅ Eliminated back pain that had bothered him for years
✅ Improved his 2-mile time from 10:48 to a sub 7:00— impressing even his runner friends
“I feel better physically and mentally,” Jon said. “This program makes you feel better about yourself, the workouts, and the people you’re with.”
Jon’s Takeaway
For Jon, the Get You In Shape program isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about gaining confidence, mobility, and a renewed sense of what’s possible.
“It’s just a great thing,” he said. “The trainers are great, the people are fantastic, and the results speak for themselves.”

How Michael Lost 33 Pounds in Just 12 Weeks – A Life-Changing Transformation
At Get You In Shape, we love celebrating the incredible transformations of our clients. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Michael Hoffman, a speaker and culture expert who took control of his health and achieved remarkable results in just 12 weeks.
The Turning Point: A Wake-Up Call
Michael had always been known as the “big guy.” At 6’2” and nearly 300 pounds, he had struggled with his weight for years, experiencing the ups and downs of various diets and fitness attempts. However, what truly struck him was an offhand comment at a speaking event. As he overheard a conversation about himself, one person identified him as “the big sweaty guy.” That moment broke his heart.
Still, even that wasn’t enough to get him to make a change—until he received a more serious wake-up call. After visiting his doctor, Michael was diagnosed with prostate cancer. While it wasn’t an aggressive form, his doctor made it clear: his weight made him a health risk, especially when considering surgery.
With that in mind, Michael asked for three months—three months to take control of his health and see if he could make a difference. That very weekend, he attended a men’s retreat where he heard Coach Brad share his testimony. Something about Brad’s message stood out—it wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about total health: mind, body, and spirit.
Michael knew this was his answer.
Taking the First Step
Michael reached out to Get You In Shape and joined the program. He had tried multiple diets before but had never been given the full picture. What he needed was education, accountability, and a sustainable plan.
“When we talked, Coach Brad really listened,” Michael recalls. “In the past, I’d lose weight but never understood why it came back. I wanted a lifestyle change, not just another diet.”
The Plan That Worked
Michael embraced the Get You In Shape Method, which provided:
A structured eating plan that made sense for his lifestyle
Resistance training to preserve muscle while losing fat
Community support to keep him motivated
Education on nutrition, fasting, and metabolism
Daily coaching and accountability to keep him on track
The gradual approach made all the difference. He learned how to plan his meals, optimize his fasting windows, and build sustainable habits. One of the most impactful tools was the 3-2-1 Method
The Results: 33 Pounds Gone, A New Life Gained
In just 12 weeks, Michael lost 33 pounds. More importantly, he gained energy, confidence, and a new perspective on health.
“I used to struggle to keep up with my grandkids. Now, I’m back to being the ‘gorilla’ they love to wrestle with,” Michael says with a smile.
Even more exciting? His doctor was amazed at his progress and the impact it had on his overall health. His risk factors improved, giving him better options for managing his cancer diagnosis.
A Message for Others
Michael’s journey is a testament to the power of commitment, education, and the right support system.
“If you’re thinking about making a change, stop waiting. Get a plan, get accountability, and take that first step. It’s not just about weight loss—it’s about taking control of your health for life.”
