A Thought On "Trainers"

Trainers are a dime a dozen. Seriously...think about it. It doesn't take much to get certified...read a book, take a test and poof! There you go. It really disgusts me that so many "trainers" think that's it. That is enough for them, and they just go out and "train" people without ever thinking twice. If you are looking for a trainer, PLEASE keep a few things in mind...

What sets a good trainer apart from the rest of them? It's simple really...a true, genuine concern for their clients. It's not about the trainer at all. It's about the client and THEIR goals. We are just lucky enough to be able to help you on your journey! You have to LISTEN and really understand where your clients are coming from. I hate it when trainers just take the latest exercises from magazines, make people do them and then not even care that they are not seeing the results they wanted. Training must be FUNCTIONAL.

As a trainer, you are never done learning. There are always new "toys" coming out and new approaches to take. What works for one person isn't necessarily going to work for the other. There should never, ever be "cookie-cutter" workouts.

The most important thing..you shouldn't waste your client's time or hard earned money. Be honest and REAL. Don't promise results with just one workout a week if you know for a fact that's not gonna happen!

Luckily, Sarah and I found each other and teamed up! We share the same views on training people and I am so excited about the future of our business! We have a lot of good stuff coming!

Take Time Out For Yourself

Lately I've noticed something that seems to be a growing trend. Women don't take time for themselves. No matter what age they are...from 18 to 100...they are so worried about everyone else and don't give enough attention to themselves. And this is much more obvious in mothers.

It's almost as if women feel "guilty" about wanting to take care of themselves. They put everyone...family and friends...first. IF there is any extra energy left over, it MIGHT go towards them, but that is only in rare cases.

But think about it...if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else. You have to be happy, healthy and mentally strong to take on all the roles society gives you. You are only given one life and one body...take time to care for yourself!
