PMFit was founded by Ken Miller, who dropped 275 lbs. by combining CrossFit training and a Paleo diet. It's evident that Miller wants the athletes at PMFit to find personal success like he did. Workouts are scaled for every class, and, if it's necessary, every individual in the class. What's more, each athlete's stats are recorded electronically so they can track their progress. How's that for commitment?
