Jason was always internally driven to succeed and work hard. He started as a swimmer when young, and years ago turned to CrossFit to satiate his competitive side. He suffered his second meniscal tear in May 2023 and had surgery in November 2023. Working hard is his forte, so working smart and allowing healing and active rest did not come easily for him, but he did it.
Jason says: “Six months ago, I was worried about my knee giving out on the way down the stairs. The idea of running or playing soccer with my boys was completely out of the question. Patience and determination to get back to what I love was my motivation. Peak’s methodical yet challenging approach to training and reaching my goals gave me confidence to get back and enjoy sports, my boys, and my dog again. I can’t thank the staff enough.”
Karen says: “Jason lived “more is better” in his work and home life. That is an awesome and motivating way to live. This recovery, however, required upside down thinking because only more of the right things and less of the bad things worked here. It took two months of light unsatisfying work on that smaller meniscus that was left after surgery. I am so proud that he overcame his physical need for intensity, temporarily, and focused his mental energy on his goals. He is now able to run around with his boys, and to workout intensely in a new format. What an inspiration!”
Jason chose St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital as his charity. A $50 donation has been made to St. Jude’s in honor of Jason’s accomplishments here at Peak.
