Does this sound familiar?
The belly that moved in
It arrived a kilo a year and made itself at home. The belt has a new hole, and it wasn't your idea.
The strong guy went missing
You used to be the strong one. Somewhere between the office and the second kid, that guy disappeared. You miss him more than you admit.
Winded on the stairs
One flight and you're catching your breath at the top, hoping nobody's behind you. Your conditioning is nowhere near what it used to be.
You can't keep up with your kids
They sprint ahead at the playground and you're the one asking for a break. You're watching from the bench instead of playing.
The after-work autopilot
Desk, dinner, a beer, the couch. You're not proud of the routine, but it's the only wind-down you've got.
Back pain from the desk
Eight hours in a chair and your back complains every time you stand up. Tying your shoes has quietly become a project.
Running on empty
By the evening you're drained, with nothing left for yourself or your family.
Poor sleep
You wake up tired, even after a full night in bed.
The solo gym experiment failed
You had a membership. You'd go for half an hour, figure nobody was looking, and head home. It quietly expired.
Sucking it in for photos
You hold your breath for every photo and hate that you do. The mirror stopped being on your side.
Did you recognize yourself in any of these? Then this program was built exactly for you.
Starts with a free Kickoff Strategy Session at our gym in Žižkov.
Here's what changes once we start:
The belly goes
You'll drop the extra fat at a sane pace, tracked on the InBody scanner every week. Most men lose 8 to 15 kg over the nine weeks.
The strong guy comes back
The numbers on the bar go up week after week, in black and white in the app. Strength you can measure, not remember.
Stairs stop being a workout
Your conditioning comes back. You'll take the stairs without thinking about it and get through your day without running out of breath.
You keep up with your kids
You'll run, carry and play instead of watching from the bench. Members tell us this is the one that hit hardest.
A better pressure valve than the pub
Training becomes the wind-down. You'll still enjoy a beer, it just stops being the whole evening.
Your back stops complaining
You'll build the strength that protects your back and joints, with a coach watching your technique at every session.
Energy that lasts past lunch
You'll wake up with energy instead of crawling to the coffee machine, with something left at the end of the day.
Better sleep
You'll sleep deeper and wake up actually rested.
Change that lasts
You'll build habits that stick. No yo-yo effect waiting for you after week nine.
The mirror gets friendly again
You'll stop sucking it in. Nine weeks from now someone asks what you've been doing, and you'll have an answer.
A free Kickoff Strategy Session at CrossFit Committed, Žižkov, no strings.
These are men who trained here, and who let us show it.
And it's still happening: in the first group, one member was down 12 kilos after seven weeks. Same InBody scanner, same nine weeks, same coaches you'll get.
Straight from the group chat
They stood exactly where you're standing

“When I joined I could barely do 3 pull-ups. Now, I'm able to do 100 pulls with a 10 kg vest on me. Literally beyond my wildest imagination!”
“CFC transformed my attitude to fitness. I no longer have to drag myself to the gym or to do another long run. Now I genuinely look forward to going to workout.”
“Gym owner, Joey, is super knowledgeable and approachable, and takes a keen interest in everyone's personal development and success which is amazing.”
“At 49 I compare myself with guys twenty years younger, and I'm consistently better. I never imagined I'd achieve something like that.”

From the desk of Joey Scafidi, head coach & owner, CrossFit Committed, Prague
Hi, I'm Joey.
Are you tired of telling yourself you'll sort it out when work calms down, watching the belt move out a hole a year, and feeling your own body turn into something you manage instead of something you use? Then let me say the truth out loud: after 35, getting back in shape is not just “eat less, move more.” In fifteen years of coaching I've never once met a man who needed more willpower. What he needed was a system, and someone who noticed when it slipped. Keep reading and you'll see why.
My road here was not a straight one. I started out in the United States Marine Corps and found this kind of training there. After the military I set out to travel the world, and in 2005 the road ended in Prague. In 2011 I opened CrossFit Committed, the second gym of its kind in the country. We started with a few stubborn people training outdoors in Letná park, and over fifteen years we've grown into a community our members honestly describe as a second family. In that time I've helped over 1,000 people around Prague, most of them 35+ with a desk job and a calendar that never lets up, lose the weight that was holding them back. The transformations you saw above? All of them men who walked in exactly where you're standing now.
Outside the gym I'm a dad of two daughters I'm crazy about, and I have a dog I love: Tuna, the Labrador who works here as our mascot and head of morale. I mention them because you should know who you'd be dealing with: not a drill sergeant, but a guy with a family, a dog, and fifteen years of watching ordinary people do things they didn't believe they could.
Because that's what I love most about this job: proving to people that they're stronger than they think, and walking beside them through the whole transformation until they're standing in a strong, healthy body they feel good in. That's exactly what the 9-week program is built to do, and it's coached from the first minute to the last: training, nutrition, habits and sleep, all built around your life instead of the other way around. No starving, no extremes. Just plan on tightening that belt.
Joey Scafidi, CrossFit Committed
Every guy walks in scared of the same thing.
That everyone else will be fit. That you'll be the slowest one there. That you'll stand in the corner not knowing what to do with a barbell while a room full of athletes watches. Almost every member of this gym felt exactly that before their first visit. Here's what three of them found instead:
“The first few sessions I just wanted to hide, because I thought everyone was so fit. It was the opposite.”
“I was self-conscious about how I looked. I don't like the whole gym-bro attitude. I was never once made to feel that way here.”
“I pictured a room full of muscle guys talking about protein shakes. It's the complete opposite of what I imagined.”
And here's why that fear never survives week one: you don't start in a class. You start with four private sessions, one on one with your coach. You learn every movement before anyone else is in the room. By the time you join a group, you know exactly what you're doing. Nobody watches you figure it out.
Most of our members started from zero. The fit-people-only gym you're picturing does not exist here.
Four private sessions come standard. Nobody gets thrown into a class.
It was never about willpower.
01 · MUSCLE
Your metabolism didn't break. It shrank.
From your mid-thirties on, your body loses muscle every year, and muscle is what burns calories. The same dinner and the same beer that did nothing at 25 stick at 45. That's biology, not weakness.
02 · QUICK FIXES
Every crash attempt made the next one harder.
Starve yourself or run yourself into the ground and you don't just lose fat, you lose muscle too. Your metabolism slows further, the weight comes back, and you restart from a worse position. That's the yo-yo. It's arithmetic, not a character flaw.
03 · NOBODY'S WATCHING
You already know what to do. Alone, you won't.
“When you go by yourself, you go for half an hour, then you think nobody's looking, and you just go home again.” A member said that, and every guy who's had a gym card knows it's true. The missing piece was never effort. It's a coach who notices when you slip.
“Accountability breeds responsibility. Responsibility breeds results. I've run this gym on that sentence since 2011.”
Joey Scafidi, head coach
That's why we built The Committed Method: strength training that rebuilds your muscle, real food you can live with, and a coach who checks on you every single week. It's the engine inside the 9-week program, and it fixes all three.
You won't do a single week of this alone. This is The Committed Method in practice:
STEP 1
Private coaching sessions
You start one-on-one with your coach at our gym in Žižkov. We never throw beginners into a class.
STEP 2
Custom nutrition plan
A plan built for your life, with weekly nutrition check-ins. No starving, no chicken-and-broccoli sentence, no forbidden-food lists.
STEP 3
Habits that stick
Your habit tracker covers food, movement and sleep. One new habit a week. Small steps that add up to a different life.
STEP 4
Measured results
Weekly weigh-ins and InBody body-composition scans. You'll see your progress in black and white. No guessing.
It begins with a free Kickoff Strategy Session, 45 minutes at the gym.
Where you'll train
A private, members-only gym in Žižkov. No crowds, no waiting for a rack, no strangers filming themselves. Just a room full of people on the same mission as you, who train together and have each other's backs.
The Level Method: you'll see yourself getting better in week one.
Most gyms give you three versions of a workout and call it a day. We run the Level Method, a 15-area leveling system we're licensed to use. On day one we assess where you are, honestly, in every area. Every workout after that is scaled to your exact level, not to the fittest guy in the room. And every small improvement moves you up a visible chart in the app.
“You see your progress objectively. You're better than you were a year ago.” That's how one member describes it. If you're the kind of guy who checks his numbers, this system was built for you: every session feeds the chart, and the chart doesn't flatter anyone.
It also means something nobody tells you about gyms: you can come back. Holiday, business trip, a rough month. The system knows where you were and restarts you where you actually are, not where your ego says you should be. No shame, no starting over from zero.
Your first InBody scan and level assessment are part of the free Kickoff Strategy Session.
You'll train with people who want to see you win.
This is the heart of CrossFit Committed, and that energy is contagious. It doesn't stop at the gym door either: Joey runs with members, drags everyone out for bowling and laser tag nights, and the room genuinely notices when you're missing. Members call it their second family, and they started that, not us.
Everything the 9-Week Transformation includes
One program, everything in it. No add-ons, no upsells, no surprise extras at week four.
Kickoff Strategy Session. We map where you are, where you're going, and exactly how you'll get there. You leave day one holding the whole plan.
Full diagnostics. A body-composition scan and movement assessment on day one, so every decision is built on your real numbers, not guesswork.
Private, members-only gym for the full nine weeks. No crowds, no waiting for a rack, no strangers filming themselves. Just people on the same mission.
Four private 1:1 coaching sessions. You learn every movement alone with your coach before you ever join a class. Nobody watches you figure things out.
27 coached classes, three a week at fixed times. Booked ahead like any meeting that matters, every one led by a coach. Showing up is the only decision left to make.
Nine makeup classes for missed sessions. A busy week, a cold, a work trip. Make the session up instead of losing your momentum.
Level Method programming plus the app. You always know your current level, your next target, and what you lifted last Tuesday. Progress becomes a number, not a feeling.
A custom nutrition plan with ongoing revisions. Real food, built around what you like and how you live. When your body changes, the plan changes with it.
The 63-day habit tracker with weekly feedback. One small habit at a time, and a coach who actually reads your check-ins. This is the part that makes week ten look like week nine.
Three 1:1 progress reviews. Every three weeks you sit down with your coach, look at what's changed, and adjust the plan for the weeks ahead.
Nine InBody scans with a coach review. See it in numbers, not in the mirror: fat down, muscle up, tracked the whole way through.
The Committed WhatsApp group and community events. Your cohort in your pocket, plus events off the gym floor. By week three they know your name and notice when you're missing.
The Meal System and Travel Survival Kit. So a business trip, a wedding, or a week of client dinners doesn't undo three weeks of work.
The Supplement Guide and your Maintenance Blueprint. What's actually worth buying (less than you think) and exactly how to keep your results after week nine. The anti-yo-yo insurance.
A Saturday partner pass with an InBody scan. It's easier when the person you eat dinner with knows what you're doing. Bring them along.
At your Kickoff Strategy Session we'll scan your body, talk through your goal, and give you exact pricing for your situation.
With me, you still get to eat the foods you love.
Nutrition drives most of your results, which is why every client gets his own plan. You won't live on diet shakes and dry chicken breast. You'll eat real food, in portions that don't leave you hungry.
We use the 80/20 principle, so on set days your favorite meals are on the menu, beer included. No diets, no extremes, just a system that works.
What does training look like?
Whatever your goal, the program is designed to get maximum results in minimum time. Every single workout is customized to your current level and led by a coach. You're never handed a plan and left to figure it out. You get a welcoming gym, methods proven over 15 years, and a coach who actually pays attention to you.

Add up what staying where you are already costs you
The gym membership you stopped using. The running shoes from January. The supplements that changed nothing. Add it up and you've probably poured more money into your body than you think. It just never went anywhere.
Now add the price of another five years of decline: less energy, worse sleep, an aching back, a belt that keeps losing the argument. The question isn't whether you can afford the transformation. It's how much another year of putting it off will cost you.
Starts with a free Kickoff Strategy Session at our gym. No strings.
I won't let you fail. And I'll put my money on it.
If within the first 30 days you decide the program isn't for you, I'll refund your entire investment. No hidden conditions, no hard feelings. The risk is on me, not on you.
Before we get to the main thing
I used to be athletic. Can't I just sort this out myself?
Do I have to give up beer?
Why start now instead of putting it off?
Can I handle the program if I haven't properly trained in years?
Am I too old for this?
Will I be the least fit guy in the room?
Isn't CrossFit that intense thing where people get hurt?
My back is already wrecked from the desk. Won't lifting make it worse?
I'm busy. Will this fit around work and family?
I travel a lot for work. Won't that ruin the program?
How fast will I see results?
Do I need to speak English? Or Czech?
How much does it cost?
Can I split the payment?
What if it doesn't work for me?
P.S.
Picture this: nine weeks from now you pick your kid up with one arm, take the stairs without thinking about it, and someone at work asks what you've been doing. And the honest answer is: you stopped managing the decline and reversed it. If you've read this far, you already know you want the change. This isn't for everyone. It's for men who've decided to actually do something about it. One more thing: because every member is coached personally, we only take 10 people a month, and those spots do fill. If that's you, click below and let's get started.
