From Injury to Momentum: How Craig Reclaimed His Health

at Big Sky

When Craig C. of West Hartford joined Big Sky in 2023, he had been through a rough couple of years. A spinal injury followed by a nasty bout of COVID left him unable to stand, while also dealing with fatigue, dizziness, hearing, and vision problems. And when surgery to repair his spine led to a loss of strength and a significant weight gain, he knew he needed help. 

Working with Newington coach Alex over the last 2 years, Craig lost 30 pounds and 6 inches off his waist. Establishing a routine with Alex greatly reduced the dizziness and tinnitus caused by his injuries, and Craig tells us he “quickly began looking forward to his sessions with Alex and his cheesy dad jokes.”

When we asked Craig what his life looked like after seeing these positive changes, he said “I just feel so much better, and it puts me in a better frame of mind to prioritize healthier decisions to keep the momentum going.”

Awesome job Craig… and we’ll make sure Alex keeps the dad jokes coming!
