Everyone needs a coach...sometimes!!!

I'm so inspired by the fact I have inspired so many people, to get to their health goals; so I decided it is time for me to get a personal trainer!!

I am a personal trainer (part-time), but I believe that even if you can design a program for others, you may benefit from an outside perspective; for yourself!

I have toyed with the idea of signing up for a marathon.... at some point. Or doing a longer distance than the 8k I did. So I am willing to hire a person, who has successfully helped other people accomplish those kind of goals. To give me some new insight. Why not? If you think about it, how do people become teachers? They learn from other teachers. Michael Jordan had a trainer/coach, because even though he knew how to play the game, he wanted to be the best he could possibly be. Similarly, I want to be the best coach I can be. I believe in doing so, I need to learn from one. I also want to be in the best shape I can be.

I can't wait to see my results!! I'm super excited about the new techniques I will learn!! Tomorrow is my first session, and I can't wait!!

“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”

This is what I live my life by....
