Measure of a Man

- Nick Decker weighed 270 pounds at 27 years old.
“I think sharing my experience is going to help people because I’m just a normal dude,” Decker says.
Nicknamed “pudge” as a kid, Decker had numerous markers of chronic disease already in his early twenties. His a-ha moment came when he found himself out of breath while playing with his 10-month-old son.
“For my 10-month-old son to be able to crawl circles around me was just unacceptable,” he says.
Having dabbled in CrossFit before, Decker decided to commit himself to the methodology. Fast-forward four years and Decker weighs 195 pounds, and he's found countless other reasons to remain dedicated to his health and fitness: “To be able to move well, to feel better, to be able to wake up not in pain, be able to squat all the way down, be able to open up my hips, be able to play around with my son.”
Decker says his wife, Whitney, and their young son are the reasons he is in pursuit of better health - and why he’s inspired to help others be better, too. The Deckers own CrossFit Chesapeake in Chesapeake, Virginia, where they’ve made it their mission to help others initiate positive change in their lives.

Nick and Whitney are two of the best people I know! They are so supportive and patient and not only coaches but cheerleaders. They want to see you succeed. They both have helped me, starting off at 298 pounds at 5’10’’, I couldn’t get down to the floor safely nor get back on my feet without assistance. They both made me feel safe and not a loser to want to keep coming back. This was an awesome video!!
I would love to see more documentary like this. Thank you very much.
This is rad! Congrats Nick and Whitney!!!
This is great. We average folk are the back bone of the sport. The heroes are fun to watch, and very inspirational. But I’m surrounded by average people, and I am one of them.
This is great! good luck to you both!
Well done to them - hope they make a success of their box!
Torin always delivers!! Great story!

Amazing
I'm 5'8 270lbs at 20 years old but I wouldn't say I look 270lbs. I was 220lbs when I was 18 and then went off to play college football and thats where I gained 50lbs. But now I'm back home not playing football and just lifting
This is what it's all about
Games athletes live to workout. The rest of us workout to live.
That is my cousin I'm proud of you Nick
simply amazing ..
@huzaifa gujjar WTF ????
For 200 a month you can wear a t shirt and do deadlifts
If that's the energy of a coach, I'll say pass!
....Greg was the man. Can already feel the shift towards something I'm not really interested in. Please stay on course and don't become irrelevant like ted talks
The more I watched this the more I realised you are right
There's been plenty of stuff like this the last few years. Its not new.
Congratulations on your accomplishments! You could do one more thing to REALLY improve yourself. TRIM YOUR DISGUSTING ARMPITS!!!!!
