It's About Time

If you have ever spent more that 5 minutes with me, it is fairly obvious that I love fitness. I have learned so much (sometimes the hard way) in the 30 years that I have been teaching. What better way to share my passion than to start a blog and pass on the information that I share with clients on a day-to-day basis.

Do You Need A Personal Trainer?

"We want to Pump You Up!!!"
I don't want you to think that I am going to pressure you in any way to invest in a personal trainer.  That wouldn't be fair of me because I am one.  All I would like you to do is just read the list below and if you answer "Yes" to any of the statements, then by all means get a trainer.  If you will notice,  most of the list choices begin with the word "You" and that is because your choice should be based on what is best for "You."  Not all personal trainers are the same so should you decide to get one,  pick wisely.  Don't be fooled by their great bodies as seen in picture above.

"I'm not just a fan (of trainers), I am a client."  OK, yes, that quote is from a hair transplant infomercial but I thought it kind of applied.  I have had my own trainers/coaches on and off my entire life and they have helped me get results that I couldn't reach myself. They've seen things that I've missed and they've motivated me to push harder than I could have ever done on my own.  The investment in my health has been well worth it.
