Gary Pressley
I'm a 59 year old guy who started my journey at Minnesota Top Team last October. When I walked into MTT I was welcomed with open arms...no judgements because of my age, physical condition, etc. I knew I was in the right place. Since starting at MTT, I have lost 13 pounds, my cholesterol is lower than it's ever been and my doctor has reduced my high blood pressure medication twice. As a matter of fact, yesterday she was concerned that (on the medication) my blood pressure may be too low...so, another reduction in dosage. She said that if this continues that I may be off high blood pressure medication within the next 30-60 days. Goodbye beta blockers, hello more intensive workouts! I haven't felt this good physically, and haven't felt this good about myself, for a long time.
I want to thank Jennie and Jeremy, the owners, for creating such a caring and welcoming environment and culture...and for assembling such a great staff. They're the best!
I want to thank Zach and Marcus, my Jiu Jitsu coaches, who are always there to help me, encourage me and to push me beyond my self-imposed limits. And...for walking with me through my Jiu Jitsu journey. They're the greatest!
I want to thank Alex, my former boxing coach, with whom I started my MTT journey. He helped me to start rebuilding my core...probably without even knowing it. Workout with Alex, and you'll know what I'm talking about:)
I want to thank my personal trainer Sean, who helps me with strength & conditioning, diet and pushes me when I think there's nothing 'left in the tank'.
I want to thank Sebastian, Shivang, Slava, Corey and all my other Jiu Jitsu training partners for helping me, for training with me, for their patience and for their constant words of encouragement.
Is it starting to sound like a family? Well it is, at least a second family.
Hey, fellow oldtimers, come on in, the water's fine. We're not getting any younger...the time is now. Hope to see you at MTT...you won't regret it.
