Obese to Beast

John David Glaude runs the YouTube channel “Obese to Beast” to help people move from sickness to fitness. Glaude, who once weighed 360 lb., reclaimed his health with nutrition and CrossFit.

“I got to a point at my heaviest where I was OK with dying before I was 40,” Glaude says.

When Glaude realized his weight was preventing him from doing things he wanted to do, he implemented what he calls the “common sense diet”: He cut out soda, junk food and fast food.

“When you’re as heavy as I was, if you just make a small change, you’ll see a big result,” Glaude says. “I made that small change, saw a big result, was more motivated to make another change to see more results, and … it was like a domino effect.”

After dabbling in fitness competitions, Glaude found CrossFit Dark Side in El Cajon, California, and “fell in love,” he says.

“CrossFit has that community aspect of, like, you are doing the same workout as all these other people. You’re suffering together, and it makes the gym less of an isolated thing,” Glaude says.

When Glaude posted a video showing the loose skin he had left after his massive weight loss, it went viral. Today, “Obese to Beast” has 529,000 followers and counting.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m 400+ right now. My goal is to loose 200 by October (my birthday). I’ve struggled with depression for a long time. I’m only 19 years old 5’3 with hopes and dreams.

What is truly inspirational is not actually the fact that John made a huge transformation, literally ACHIEVING a healthy lifestyle, but that he built a MINDSET of always wanting to become better and better and never get stuck in a comfort zone, rewarding himself with the process of growing and not with the growth itself...

Because of John, I finally got the courage to try CrossFit, and I have lost almost 50 lbs because of him. He is so motivating and love watching his channel and seeing his passion. Thank you John and Thank you CrossFit for spotlighting such a motivational guy! I love finding CrossFit and adding it to my life and my health goals!

You have such a flawless jawline! That would’ve never been revealed if you had never made the decision you did.

Everyone thinks that Crossfit is like the Crossfit Games. That is literally 1% of most gyms out there . This video shows what Crossfit is all about. This man is amazing.

"When you know things, it's a lot harder to make bad decisions" This is SO TRUE, that's why ignorance is (sometimes) bliss.

So awesome to see y'all do a video on John! He's the reason I started losing weight, and the reason I started Crossfit (4/23/18). I have now lost over 40 lbs. and have found something I'm truly passionate about, with a community I'm truly proud to be apart of. John and his brother lead me to crossfit, and crossfit changed my life.

I know no one will really see this considering the video's like over 3 years old but im reaching a turning point in my journey. I was at my heaviest at 17 and weighed 356 lbs. I turned 19 3 days ago and today I clocked in at 269. I come from a kinda similar home life, my dad was all i had and he worked around the clock so it didnt matter what was ate as long as the kids were fed. Seeing you be able to embrace the lose skin especially around your inner thighs genuinely made me smile cus i got a lot of lose skin there too and now i feel less weird about it so genuinely, thank you.

I subscribe to him and he is just one of the most genuine and kind people on YouTube. I don’t even struggle with being overweight - I just subscribe to him because he demonstrates the type of positivity and compassion for others I hope to emulate.
