Noel is Down 17lbs & Headed to USMC Boot Camp

Hello everyone, my name is Noel Jimenez, and I am 23 years old.

My journey at Innovative Results began back in October 23, 2014. I was first told about OC’s Fitness Playground by my recruiter. The recruiter had one of his enlistees attending Innovative Results and making really great changes and improvements through IR’s Training, and as a result; went to boot camp and is now a Marine in the United States Marine Corps.

At the time I was ok with just working out and using a treadmill/elliptical for my every day workouts at LA Fitness. I was no longer losing any weight and had plateau at192 pounds. I honestly didn’t believe I could drop, and reach my recommended weight of 165 to enlist and continue further. That first day at Innovative Results taught me one thing about myself; even though I had thought I had strength and mobility, I was wrong. All it took was the warm up of the workout to know just how weak I really was. I could not believe it, but continued to do the best I could.

As the workout progressed, not only did I struggle, but I had really bad form when executing movements. It was within that same workout that the coaches (Mark and Corey) kept checking on me to see if I was alright, and I was. During my first two workouts I got to talk a little more with Corey Beasley and Mark Elmasry about my goal for training at Innovative Results. Letting them know that I must drop weight to continue my enlistment; they told me I would have to talk to Aaron Guyett about setting a diet plan. Aaron Guyett is a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. Knowing that, I knew there would be challenges to come.

I first met him(Aaron Guyett) on October 27, 2014. After that workout, I had a long talk about what was expected of me in order to succeed. One of those changes was a diet with absolutely no soft drinks or heavy sugars, strictly water. As well as no regular rice, tortillas, red meats, pork, and food made at home. It was a really rough start for me to give that all up and replace it with the “healthy stuff”. On top of that I was given a schedule to keep up with, if I wanted to get the best results. I had to do sprints known as 400’s(quarter mile sprints) on Tuesdays. Starting at 4 laps and every week it went up one more lap until I got to 12 laps and then reset back to 4. Every lap had to be timed, and that same time was the amount of rest I had to take in order to do the next lap. On Thursdays I would be at the USMC recruiting center to train with our recruiters, and on Saturdays every other week it would be a mile run that was to increase one more mile every other week until I hit 8 miles and the same went for a hike with weight(done on the week after the mile runs), increasing from 20-40 pounds once I got comfortable enough to go up in weight. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday I would be training at Innovative Results. noeljoshspiritrun

At first each lap on the 400’s would vary from 1:53 and up(no more than 2:05), a really slow time. My first mile run came in at 11:10 a slow time. Running/sprinting was one of my biggest challenges; I was never the type of person to go out, run or be active. From November to December, getting use to the diet and work out regiment was a bit too hard on me, but I kept my mind on why I must tough it out and continue moving forward. One of those ideas I kept in mind was if I’m not able to hack it, how would I ever hope to drop the weight and gain speed and strength. Towards the end of running miles or doing sprints I would be out of breath, but I continued to push myself through the pain knowing that it would benefit me in the long run.

Towards the halfway point of December I had just gotten use to the whole diet and workout regiments and lost ten pounds in two months. It definitely was helping, and I went from 192 to 182 in those two months at Innovative Results. As I continued to see improvement and major results I decided to go to Innovative Results Monday through Fridays from January to now (May 2015), while still doing the sprint and running regiment. By this time my body and aerobic capacity had gotten up to the point where I was able to do the sprints/runs after a workout at Innovative Results.

From late December 2014 to late February 2015; I did not go to the recruiting center to train with the recruiters, but continued to let my recruiter know that I am still in the game and have not given up; just bettering myself. Within that time frame I continued to do my workouts and sprints. Getting better at mobility, strength and speed. When I returned to the recruiting center in mid February (still as a guest) it had been close to three months since my last visit. I was just curious to see how running/sprinting, hiking, and Innovative Results had helped me.

It was no surprise, my first day back was a run uphill and downhill in Anaheim Hills; everything had improved a lot. Running/sprinting had given me more speed. Hiking had given me the leg power to go up and down the hills with ease. Innovative Results had helped me come down from 182 to 165, as well improve my mobility and strength to take on the exercises and plyometrics that were in store for those two hours of training. Not only did we do that hill up and down once, we took it on again and I was still fine. As a guest, I was able to keep up with the Marine Poolees and be right behind them. I’m not one to brag, but being one of few that was breathing calmly to others who were out of breath; I felt really great about myself. It was a great Thursday and only got better, my recruiter had asked me if I was ready to take the ASVAB, and the physical to follow; my heart raced, and I said Yes!

Knowing that I have been working so hard and continue to work hard to this day, I swore in on March 2, 2015 and was given my boot camp date of May 11, 2015. Two to three weeks after swearing in I had asked Aaron if there is anything I could do to better improve my strength and conditioning for boot camp and with just five weeks left he had given me an all new regiment. I stopped going to Innovative Results on Thursdays to attend PT at the recruiting center and Tuesdays became my mile split days and they always worked around three miles to improve my three mile run time for boot camp, but for Thursdays I had switched over to doing 400’s before going to PT. On Saturdays I still did my hikes, no longer doing the mile runs anymore because I have built up my aerobic capacity to run up to 8 miles. In addition to that I was also given a five set workout for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at the end of every Innovative Results workout. At first it started off somewhat easy five sets of 6 pull ups, 12 push ups, and 24 crunches. As every week came by for the remaining weeks they increased in reps, and two days ago I finished my last of the progression sets: five sets of 13 pull ups, 26 push ups, and 52 crunches; toughest to pull off, and took almost an hour to finish.

All this self driven determination and help from all the wonderful coaches at Innovative Results, has helped me get to where I am today. From not being able to complete one pull up, barely finishing a mile; I now know that I can run my mile in 6:30(not 11:10), from no pull ups to being able to do 13 pull ups and an increased mobility and flexibility far better than when I first walked into Innovative Results. Thank you Nick, Mason, Corey, Mark, Aaron for all your coaching to getting me this far. Mark and Corey thank you for helping me when I had mobility issues and helping heal it. Thank you Aaron most of all for being the biggest motivator to helping improve my speed and strength. From sprinting 400’s in 1:53 to 1:08~1:14. To running miles under seven minutes. No amount of thanks could ever own up to how grateful I am for all the hard work and inspiration you have all given me. In boot camp I will continue to make “my next one, my BEST ONE!!!” Thank you!!!

IR & GO Ministries Work to Remove Language Barriers in Costa Mesa

November 13, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Share Your English

Innovative Results realizes that part of improving the quality of life for our community means we have to spend some time, money, and energy.

The way the IR team and clients can participate in this purpose is to come to Innovative Results every Saturday morning for a charity training session at 10am. 100% of the ten dollar suggested donation is given to programs of our partners at The Crossing Church’s Local GO Ministry.

Sharing Your English is just one of the many community improvement programs and opportunities developed at Local GO Ministries.

Did you know that English as a Second Language classes are in extremely high demand?

There are many people in our community eager to learn and improve their English, so they can experience an improved quality of life just like the Innovative Results’ client.

This provides an amazing ministry opportunity: Share your English!

Both easy and fun, providing a teacher to lead the class, The Crossing’s Local GO Ministry members work one on one with a student to help them practice their English.
We invite you to serve your community and make new friends.

In addition to the ESL class, Local GO Ministries offer story-time and homework assistance for school-age children in other classrooms.

Volunteers are available to read stories out loud, perform educational activities, and offer limited homework assistance.

This takes place in a fun, but purposeful environment for children in Grades K – 6th to work on their reading and literacy skills for the Costa Mesa community schools.

If you are interested in volunteering to help in the Reading Room, contact Marsha Dopler.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next Innovative Results charity training session every Saturday at 10am.

IR's Charity Training Session Helps to Fund Resource Programs for Teen Moms

November 6, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

IR Charity Training Sessions Serves…

Meet Terrilee Stevenson, the Executive Assistant supporting the Lead Pastor and Executive team at The Crossing.

The Community Organization highlighted this week is…

Fristers (Teen Pregnancy Ministry) is a nonprofit founded and operated on Christian principles that is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and abuse within the teen mom population by providing education, access to resources, role models and support to teen age mothers and their children. To accomplish our mission, Fristers offers the LifeCoach weekly program for teen moms, pregnant or parenting, within the ages of 13-24, and the Kidsters Childcare and School Readiness program for their children, ages 0-7.

LifeCoach addresses the unique needs of teen mothers and provides them with education, access to resources, role models and support. Participants attend a 32 week program that includes classroom teaching, relationship-building activities, one-to-one coaching, and group projects and field trips.The Kidsters Childcare and School Readiness Program is designed to nurture and teach the children, while giving teen mothers a safe childcare option so that they can fully devote themselves to learning and growing during the LifeCoach program.

Their Biggest Success Story so far…

Well, Fristers will just be coming to The Crossing for the first time in September 2014, so right now we are in the process of recruiting volunteers for the program and teen moms to attend. Biggest success would have to be that we have had 3 pregnant teen moms come into the office to sign up for the program starting in September.

Why be involved?

I feel called to Fristers, in part, because I feel like I have been given much: grew up in a healthy, Christian family with good role models in my parents, an amazing husband and 3 incredible kids. I have a heart to help these girls to move past their circumstances and succeed in life, to be more than what most people expect of them, to help them see that they matter and that God loves them more than they know.

Support Fristers, and many other GO Ministries & Community Programs by attending IR’s Charity Training Session every Saturday at 10am!

With a suggested $10 donation to attend, this is by far the most mutually beneficial hour of your week!!

This is How You Get the Best Fitness Training Session in Orange County and Help Eradicate Human Trafficking

October 30, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

Innovative Results asked Denise from The Crossing’s Local GO Ministries, who she is, what she does, and why she does it, and this is what she said:

“Who? Denise Dew-Bennett: Member at the Crossing since 2007. Lay leader, chaplain, women’s bible leader and ministry leader of Divine Lights at The Crossing Human Trafficking Team.
What: Divine Lights is about bringing awareness to our community on the condition of slavery in the 21st century. How the church is becoming increasingly active in the movement and how we as a church body can be that LIGHT at the end of a victim’s long dark journey in any way possible.

How: To date Divine Lights is a very new ministry but we are now a part of a new larger community known as the Christian Coalition Against Human Trafficking (CCAHT). Divine Lights biggest accomplishment has been to partner with established church ministries and other community organizations that are fighting on the front lines of this intense war to save women, men & especially children from the grips of modern day traffickers.
Why: Because God called me to. At first I thought that this was a singular call, but when I started this ministry, it occurred to me that God had been tapping on the shoulders of many others as well! None of us, individually, could figure out what we were to do as we all thought God wanted us to do something all on our own, but we felt extremely powerless. What I found when I started the group was that God wanted us to join our calls and group together to do the work that He had layed before us. I can tell you, not one of us WANTED to accept this call! But we all could not stop hearing or seeing the abuses going on around us, that is what caused us/me to go on no matter what I/ we saw as daunting!

We are more than PASSIONATE now, we’re ON FIRE with determination to see this to it’s ABOLISHMENT!”

Innovative Results is amazed at what is being done to transform our community and the lives of the people being trafficked in Orange County. Come to Innovative Results’ charity fitness training sessions on Saturday at 10am and bring a suggested donation of $10 to help eradicate Human Trafficking in Orange County.

Your Presence and Donation Matters at Innovative Results 10am Charity Training Session

Innovative Results asked Jeff Costa, a long time client and member of Local GO ministries at The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa, what he does to help the community, and this is what he said:

“My name is Jeff Costa, and I lead The Crossing’s Street Team ministry.

Street Team is a group of people that meet to help the people on the street that are invisible and needy. While we go out to serve and help the city’s people, we pray for the streets, businesses, and civil services.

The biggest success story is the fact I am on a team that has helped 19 people get off the streets!!

The reason why I do this is because now I know these are people just like you and me. They just might be going through a really tough time, and need some love and a chance.

I believe that God puts certain people in your life.

For some reason He chose me for this, and I’m all in!”

Innovative Results is proud to be a part of helping Jeff Costa get people off the street through our donations and awareness created through our Saturday charity training session every Saturday at 10am. Bring a suggested $10 donation, experience the best personal training in Orange County, and help GO Ministries improve the quality of life of the homeless…even getting people off of the street!

Innovative Results Partners with Costa Mesa GO Ministries to Give Care Packages for the Troops

October 16, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

By: Aaron Guyett

I asked Lisa Arellano of The Crossing Church in Costa Mesa to share what she does for Local GO Ministries to help the Newport Mesa community, and this is what she said:

“I am Lisa Arellano, and I am a Veteran of the United States Army. I am a volunteer and member of The Crossing Church of Costa Mesa, and I have been aching for ministries that are local that I can relate to. As a Veteran coming home from deployment was devastating. The morale is very down when you’re separated from home and loved ones. I’m single with no family of my own, so I didn’t get the care packages and goodies I saw others getting. Packages For Troops or (OI) Operation Interdependence offers a small quart size package to any soldier in the military, as a little piece of home. The most important part of the package is the encouraging note that it comes with.”

“I do this because, my heart goes out to those at war, so that they will know that I care!”

Innovative Results partners with GO Ministries to give back to our local community in Costa Mesa and Orange County through fitness and training.

Come to Innovative Results, 2925 Airway Ave, Suite J, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, every Saturday at 10am, and donate $10 to the community, while experiencing the best fitness training in Orange County.

The Most Mutually Beneficial Hour In Your Week

Innovative Results cares about the Costa Mesa and greater Newport Mesa community, and they consistently back up those words by giving generously with their actions, service, money, and time. For over two years, Innovative Results serves the community by opening up its doors to anyone looking to get in shape, feel better, move better, or look better on Saturday morning at 10am. They ask for a very small, suggested donation of $10 per person, and deliver their always dynamic and very valuable training sessions. After the dust settles they donate 100% of the proceeds to GO Ministries at The Crossing Church, where there are incredible things being done for the local Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community.

GO Ministries at The Crossing Church helps the Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community in eight incredible ways. First they are building a bridge across the different cultures of Costa Mesa. Second they are partnering with schools to improve children’s education and development. Third they are partnered with other churches and city officials to improve the quality of life of our homeless and helping them into situations that get them into homes and better situations. Fourth, they partner with other churches and organizations to feed the hungry of Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa. Fifth, they partner with other people and churches to set up care packages for the troops overseas. Sixth, they have a Street Team that goes out to offer a helping hand and a loving heart to the homeless and distraught. Seventh, they partner with other people, churches, organizations, and the local cities to reduce and eradicate trafficking of humans. Finally, they partner with other churches, people, and organizations to help improve the lives of teen mothers.

When someone shows up on Saturday and donates $10, their money is really improving the quality of life for the Costa Mesa and Newport Mesa community, while they get to improve their own quality of life through an Innovative Results training session. These training sessions provide practical advice and take action toward improving mobility, increasing stability, improving endurance, improving strength, and increasing power, which helps all participants look better, feel better, and move better. Innovative Results also helps coach and consult people’s nutrition choices to help people feel, look, and move their best. Not to mention the ancillary effects these training session provide (improved finances, better budgeting, increased productivity, and improved attitude are all researched effects from daily exercise).

IR Charity Training Session Contributes to The Crossing's Hispanic Services

September 3, 2014 by ptpt Leave a Comment

This is What Your $10 Donation Goes to on Saturday at 10am: Hispanic Services

In speaking with the two The Crossing Español pastors, I experienced two people with a heart for Costa Mesa. According to suburbanstats.org, Hispanic/Latino makes up 35% of the Costa Mesa population, and the way they see it if we are not about helping one third of our community we should not be called a church. The Crossing Church with Go Ministries is about creating a bridge between the different cultures within our great community of Costa Mesa.

Innovative Results agrees wholeheartedly. Innovative Results is about serving our community. Co-owners, Aaron Guyett and Corey Beasley believe in improving the quality of life for their clients and their community, so it just made sense to partner with the Hispanic Bridge that is happening at The Crossing Church and Go Ministries. Below is what the Crossing is announcing about its weekend services.

The Crossing Church is proud to announce the creation of a new venture, The Crossing en Español, as we expand to offer services in Spanish. We believe so much in reaching the un-churched that we remove as many obstacles as possible so that people can hear the message of Jesus. Over the years, the population in Costa Mesa has changed, but the mission and the vision of The Crossing remains the same — we are a church for ALL PEOPLE. We have the opportunity to reach other nations right here in our country and in our city. What a privilege we have. Contact Jorge Moscoso to s ign up now and be part of the Core Team as we prepare to launch in October. Join us on the ground floor of this exciting new venture.

UPCOMING SERVICES: As we lead up to our official launch date we are proud to present a select few services along the way. Please join us and be part of this exciting new venture.

Street Team

“The Street Team” works to equip as many people as possible to P.R.A.I. as they walk through life by engaging them in 4 weeks of training and experience walking the streets.
Week 1 – Pray
Week 2 – Relate
Week 3 – Assist
Week 4 – Invite

You can jump in during any week and experience “The Street Team.” Each session runs from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights departing from The Crossing, The Street Team is off during the month of August and will start again in the month of September.
The hope is that after spending 4 weeks not only learning about how to P.R.A.I. but actually doing it, people will develop some habits that will carry over into how they “walk” through their everyday life.

We will have different guests join us to train and enlighten us to what’s really going on out there on the streets of our community.
Contact Jeff Costa today to register.
