BLESSED

My wonderful Fiance recently designed me my very own website. We both felt it would be beneficial in the long run for my career and for my future as a Trainer. On my website we were going to post some testimonials from the clients I am currently training. I contacted my clients and let them know, and without a single bat of the eye, my clients testimonies flooded my email. As I read through them, I could actually feel the tears fill my eyes. I knew my clients and I had a good time together, and I knew from all the sweat and war cries, the workouts were good. But I had no idea that they felt this way about me.
I have always considered myself a very blessed man. Even through the toughest of times, the Lord has blessed my life in every way imaginable. Why I would think this would be different, I don't know. But he has done it again. He has blessed me with the best clients a Trainer could ask for and for that, I am forever thankful!

Magazine Workout

I had to share this so others that might read this will understand that the following activity is a big no-no in the gym. I saw a women today on the Lying Leg Curl Machine...get this....are you ready for it....READING A MAGAZINE. I'm serious, scouts honor, on my mothers grave, cross my heart hope to die. I witnessed it with my very own eyes. The very eyes the good Lord gave me watched her as she was just lying there, glasses on, flipping through the pages. Later on I discovered it was none other than a Women's Health Magazine that she was reading. So I guess lying on a piece of EXERCISE equipment while reading an EXERCISE magazine, now counts as an EXERCISE. My only hope, is that the people who saw her are not going to think it is a new magic celebrity workout fad, and I come in the gym Monday and everyone is on a piece of equipment with a Spotter to hold their Magazines.

Air Conditioning

Ok, so I work for a gym that currently has no air conditioning. And by currently I mean that ever since the heat came on during the winter, it never went off... I'm old fashioned, so when I'm working out in the same gym, I love it. I love to sweat, I love to be hot, and I feel there should not be pampering of any kind while busting your butt. It kind of takes the point of it all away. I'm not in the gym to be comfortable. I'm in the gym to WORK!!!! So I guess you could say I have always been against these gyms that spend more time on keeping the gym comfortable than the important things, like maintaining the gym and keeping the cardio equipment tuned and the weights and machines in check.
However, when I am training a client, it is a totally different ball game. When I am "working", I want to try and be as comfortable in there as possible. I'm not saying I need an Artic Chill, but a little air flow would be excellent. I guess you can say I want to have my cake and eat it too. But hey, I'm looking out for my clients welfare as well. I'm sure they don't want me sweating on them while I am showing the correct way to perform a Bulgarian Split Squat.
All of this brings me to the following conclusion........air...........IS GOOD!
