With 15 years of professional experience in health and fitness, Michael Stanwyck probably finds maintaining a healthy lifestyle easy. Yet he admits he still struggles just like everyone else who gets tempted to eat a small piece of cookie or skip a workout for the day.

He also recalls how they struggled during the early days of creating a program for the CrossFit community. As self-improvement junkies, they combined what works in the self-improvement world and apply it to their community. That was the start of the Whole Life Challenge. It has helped participants not just with weight loss, but with their lifestyle and relationships.

In this episode, he explains the challenges of creating a program, how they came up with the Whole Life Challenge, and he even shares transformation stories that made a mark, an affirmation of the community they have built that continues to lift each other.
