Cleon Joseph, aka CJ, is the CEO of CJ’s Functional Fitness & Self-Defense. CJ bases his fitness program from his 20 yrs of fitness and Martial Arts training. CJ developed a deeper desire for fitness after competing in an all natural body building show in the early 90’s. In the late 90’s he discovered no holds barred training and had to make major physical adjustment to adapt to that style of training. The transition from bodybuilding to Mixed Martial Arts birthed the concept of Functional Fitness.
“As an amateur and recreational body builder I looked great, but I could not move, and my cardio was poor. To me there was no difference between me and an out of shape person, I just looked the part, and that scared me. Every weight training supplement that I tried eventually led to a bad report from my doctors. The reality of my physical state hit when I took a “no holds barred” fighting class for the first time. I sparred against a guy who looked like he lived on donuts and cake. Within 30 seconds of sparring I was exhausted and defeated. At that moment I realized that after all those big muscles that I had gave out. I was completely helpless. All the muscle gains I made, for the sake of vanity, were useless Through the methods and workouts of grappling, kick-boxing, boxing, and functional training I discovered a new me. I lost 30 pounds of unneeded muscle mass, I was more flexible, I could move quicker when needed, my walk was smoother, and I could run for miles at a time. Overall, I felt amazing, extremely sexy, and confident in the real me. Weight training is now a minor auxiliary function to compliment my functional training. It was important to know that if I had to protect myself or my family, I could. No more posturing; I am the real deal. I know I’m training in a way to one day see my grandchildren get married, and have their children. It’s about life fitness. It’s all about staying well. Functional training is more than just exercising for a moment in a day. It’s about simply getting in and out of your seat without breathing hard, or simply being able to engage in all that life has to offer. It does not matter what physical state of fitness you are currently in, you can change it and I want to help! The world needs this!”
