Amazing!

As I went home on Monday evening after a very eventful day at the gym, I actually felt excitement!  Each of my clients has taken such an important step on their journey towards a healthy lifestyle and each day they amaze me at their efforts.  Even those who tend to struggle or feel pain find strength to attempt things that scare them.  Although we are not in the business to make people "hurt" we are here to see that they challenge themselves.  Sometimes they overcome the most challenging obstacles and other times we have to take a step back and go a different direction.  But with each change of direction, there is a new challenge, a new way to look at things.  Barely into Week #6 of this program and this group - weight loss, toning, endurance - has already exceeded what programs of the past have done up to this point!  To all my clients - my family away from home - you are all very important.  Thank you for making my job the best one around!

Group Night #2

For eight lucky participants, tonight was a great start to their workout week!  30 minutes of "chat" time and 40 minutes of Zumba exercise gave their metabolism and mood a head start on the week.  I am very proud of them for taking some "me" time this evening....oh, and giving Ashley and I some much needed entertainment for the weekend.  Tomorrow starts Week #6 of Program 8 and I am so pleased at all my participants progress.  Whether they are searching for weight loss or just trying to maintain the shape they've worked so hard to get, each of them has shown great commitment to their health.  Looking forward to a great week!
