ATHLETE PROFILE: JENNIFER TOMCZYK, AKA HYMAN

NOT ALL OF YOU HAVE KNOWN HYMAN FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE.  WHEN SHE FIRST WALKED INTO THE GYM OVER TWO YEARS AGO I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT SHE WAS GONNA BE A CROSSFIT SUPERSTAR.  I KNEW DEEP DOWN INSIDE THERE WAS A COMPETITIVE FIRE BURNING READY TO SHOW IT’S FLAMES, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT REMEMBER THIS WAS OVER TWO YEARS AGO!  I HAPPEN TO HAVE A PICTURE FROM THE FIRST WEEK HYMAN STARTED.

SHORTLY AFTER HYMAN STARTED HER HUSBAND CHRIS, AKA. HOLLYWOOD STARTING COMING TO THE GYM.  WE ALL SOON BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS AND HOLLYWOOD SHARED ONE OF HIS HONEYMOON NIGHT PICTURES WITH ME.  I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT AND WAS IN SHOCK!

ACTUALLY, I THINK HE WAS IN SHOCK!

DON’T LAUGH!  IT’S NOT FUNNY!
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND SINCE THEN HYMAN HAS PROVEN ME RIGHT ABOUT THE FIRE INSIDE.  SHE HAS REALLY MADE UNBELIEVABLE IMPROVEMENTS, NOT ONLY MENTALLY BUT PHYSICALLY.  HER FAT LOSS AND LEAN MASS GAIN WAS OFF THE CHARTS.  SHE REALLY CONCENTRATED ON HER DIET AND GAVE 110% EVERY TIME SHE STEPPED FOOT INTO THE GYM TO TRAIN.  HYMAN WOULD NEVER SPEAK NEGATIVELY  ABOUT ANY WORKOUT SHE WOULD JUST TRY AS HARD AS SHE COULD DAY IN AND DAY OUT.  YOU CAN SEE THE RESULTS:

YUP!  THAT’S THE NEW AND IMPROVED HYMAN!  LIKE I SAID, SHE TRAIN’S HARD AND EAT RIGHT!  HYMAN HAS BECOME THE EPITOME OF CROSSFIT.  AND I DON’T JUST MEAN THE EFFORT SHE PUTS INTO TRAINING, I’M TALKING THE CAMARADERIE, SELFLESSNESS, MOTIVATION, HONESTY, FRIENDSHIP, KINDNESS, LIGHT HEARTEDNESS, CARING AND HUMILITY QUALITIES THAT SHE POSSESSES.  THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF BEING HER FREIND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT AND CAN PROBABLY COME UP WITH A LIST OF YOUR OWN THAT DESCRIBE HYMAN.
I FEEL LUCKY TO SAY HYMAN IS MY  FRIEND, I HOPE!  FAT OR SKINNY!
