YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR PRIORITY

“I got tired of feeling tired. Nothing I had tried helped me lose weight or keep weight off. No gym I’ve tried in the past would actually work around/with my physical concerns to get me to a better place. I never had the energy after work to go play outside with the kids and I didn’t like how I looked in pictures. My first time meeting Shanna, I mentioned my physical limitations and she immediately had answers/tricks to help me. Those first few workouts, it felt like she went out of her way to teach me things, show me how it could be done. It gave me reassurance that I could do it and not hurt myself as I always have done.

I decided to try the half Murph on Memorial Day weekend. I was scared to death. But Shanna talked about the ability to scale and replace sections with similar movements to get the same outcome. I came to the gym that day and did my half and thought I’d be dead, but that month and a half of training we had done beforehand made me more than capable of completing it. It went so well, I decided to do another half two days later. I had heard of the Murph for years and had set it apart as this crazy workout only for the most devoted. To only have had a month and a half of training and still be able to get through it, it showed how much progress we were able to make in that small amount of time. It also energized me for the future- because if we can do that in a month and a half, what can we do in 6 months? A year? It really opened up what was possible for my health and fitness.

I can be more active with my kids. I have more energy to go outside and kick the ball around, shoot hoops, teach them the sports I grew up on and loved. It’s also simpler things like less trips from the car to the house with groceries or yard work becoming easier because I can handle more weight/physical stress.” - Mickey

“I joined Unbroken Athletic 5 years ago after a neighbor told me about CrossFit, and I have loved it ever since!  The workouts can be tailored to any fitness level, or however you are feeling on any given day!  Some days I really want to push myself, and some days I just want to move at a moderate pace.  I truly cannot imagine my life without CrossFit and the special group of supportive and dedicated CrossFitters at Unbroken Athletic. One of those people is the Owner - Shanna Tokarsky.  

3 years into my CrossFit journey, I purchased a personal training package of 12 sessions with Shanna because I wanted to take my skills to the next level.  2 years and about 100 personal training sessions later, I still meet with Shanna each week to continue improving my skills and strength, and I have no plans of stopping!  

When I started, one of my goals was to do 1 pull-up.  Last Saturday, I did 100 pull-ups in one workout.  I also wanted to climb a rope, but when I started I could barely hang on long enough to get off the ground, lol!  Now, I can do several rope climbs in one workout.  My core is stronger than ever, and I am always happy with the way I look in a dress.  How many 42-year old women can say that?!?  

Whether you have never exercised in your life, or you are already in great shape, Unbroken Athletic has a place for you.  If you push through and stick with it, I promise it will be life changing!”  - Michelle

Shannon

“I still wouldn't consider myself "fit" but I am  more fit than I was a year ago!  I started slow, like reeeally slow (actually still pretty slow The trainers worked around my injuries, limitations and general middle agedness.  I am able to do things I didn't think I would physically be able to do.  And best of all, I'm no longer afraid of my own body (anybody who struggles with a chronic illness knows what I mean).  The support from the trainers and other members is incredible!  Which is a big reason why this is the only fitness thing I've ever actually stuck with!” -Shannon

Joan

“Thank you for helping me get healthy! This is around a 35# difference since I started at Unbroken.” -Joan D.

Kyle

“ I was reaching my mid thirties and was terribly overweight and out of shape. I kept a poor diet and rarely worked out. My biggest motivation is my kids. It finally hit me that if I want to be a big part of their lives today and in the future I needed to get serious about my health.

I have officially dropped 55 pounds! In the gym, I'm excited to see my endurance improvement with WODs but still have a long way to go!”  - Kyle C.

Adam

“The team/family atmosphere is amazing. Knowing that the person next to you is going through the same physical and mental struggle as they work through the WOD drives me. But the most rewarding is afterwards, because obviously you are proud of yourself, but the feeling of watching other complete the workout is even better. There are two feelings that happen, 1 watching others finish before you is motivating to continue to push yourself, and 2 watching others push themselves to finish is unexplainably rewarding.” -Adam F.

Vanessa

“ I was a little intimidated by all the different Olympic lifts that I had never really done before and being able to complete the high intensity workouts. We receive such amazing training at Unbroken that little by little I started feeling more comfortable in most lifts and was able to start increasing the weights which felt amazing. There is also such an incredible group of members that are so encouraging during the tough workouts. ”  -Vanessa M.

Yue

“I’ve always been active. From playing tennis, volleyball, and snowboarding, plus extra conditioning classes at the gym and at work. I kept telling myself that I looked pretty good for a mother of  two, but I wasn’t happy plus I felt tired or beat every night. I felt like I did everything I could until about a year ago I decided to make a change that included completely changing my nutrition and workout routine. I started following the Unbroken Nutrition program and CrossFit. I felt amazing and I was able to breakthrough a physical barrier to a place that I couldn’t reach before. I didn’t have a big weight change, but I feel better, I have more energy and being faster on the tennis courts definitely helps! I’m turning 40 in couple years looking forward to be the best shape in my life!” -Yue B.

Kyle

“So I had to dig deep to get the before picture. I never realized how much I disliked having my picture taken.(let’s be honest I still don’t like it lol) but I’m not as uncomfortable with it as I used to be. I’ve come along way both physically and mentally. I work every day to improve myself as a person to become the best version of myself that I can. I’m so thankful that I finally realized how important and how much I needed fitness in my life to be able to make the changes I’d always wanted to for myself and my family. And I just want to thank all the coaches and everyone that comes to the gym that has pushed me to be better than I was the day before!” -Kyle L.

Mila

“I’m so happy to be part of this amazing tribe! I’m thankful that Reema kept “bugging me” to try CrossFit with her. I never imagined I’d find my fitness family! I’m down 13/14lbs and feel stronger and healthier than I can remember. I’m making better choices inside and outside the gym and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you to all of you for pushing me every day! This picture was taken the week I joined(7/2019)...💪🏼🏃‍♀️” - Mila H.

Amerie

Testimony from her Mom: “Amerie has been attending Unbroken for about a year now. So much has changed with her… her work-outs, her programming, her nutrition, her goals and her over-all well being. She’s more positive in life, manages her time better and more supportive of others. I know she’s been working on gaining weight… in 1 year, she’s gone from 85 lbs to roughly 105!! She looks healthy and she did it in a healthy way. ”

AJ

“To keep how Unbroken Athletic has changed my life brief would be a disservice to the coaches and community that have shaped me in to the man I've become. The weight loss, accomplishments in the gym, becoming a coach, have all been great, but they are all a result of the confidence gained from the coaching and members... I really hated getting my picture taken for years... Was super hard to find one pre joining! No shortage of pictures these days" - AJ M.

Pyik

“I have lost close to 10 lbs since I started Unbroken Nutrition with Coach Shanna. These days, it is very easy to get distracted by the next new thing for weight loss (a new type of pill, a new medical procedure, a new type of diet or a new exercise equipment). We never have the patience or kindness on ourselves to cook a proper, well-balanced meal. Coach Shanna taught me how to portion my food, how to plan my meal, and kept me focus. She showed me that it is possible to lose the weight I have gained over the past years without starving myself or doing anything extreme.

Being a foodie, I have been struggling to lose weight for a long time. With her patient coaching, meal suggestions and portion control, I am losing weight gradually and keeping it off!!! I couldn’t be happier with the results I’m getting.” -Pyik K.

Katie

“I have been working on my nutrition with Coach Shanna on and off for the past year. I will not say this has been easy. It is a grind when you lose weight the right way. These nutrition plans aren't a quick fix that will make you drip 20lb in 3 weeks by starvation and water. With Shanna, you eat! ….and you eat a lot of the right things! I have learned to balance my meals with good protein, fats, and carbs. I have learned better timing of my meals. But most of all I am learning to be gentle with myself when I "fall off the wagon". According to Shanna, there is no wagon. Isn't that nice? I personally hate that judgmental wagon! Shanna has been so incredibly encouraging and has helped me change my initial mindset of failure into something to learn from and then quickly move on to focus on the goal. I not only love how my body is changing....but I love even more how my mindset is changing.” -Katie W.
