I began training in college as a student. My job criteria sitting at the graduation ceremony was short:
1. Use my degree
2. Make 10% more money than I did personal training
3. LOVE my job
What was a job became a career after a short stint in the field of public relations.
After 6 weeks job criteria list changed by 3 and grew by 1.
1. NO panty hose
2. NO cubicle
3. NO rush hour.
4. LOVE my job.
It was then that I realizd that personal training is my dream job.
Personal training and a quarter-life crisis took me to the mecca for both, Los Angeles, where I worked in the land of beautiful people who consistently requested unattainable results for their next casting call.
A twist of fate dragged me back to Texas to work for some former clients in Hamilton, TX managing and training at a small facility on the town square. I had no idea at the time what a valuable opportunity my friends had offered me! The people there were a family for me. Fitness in the Square, our gym, was a beautiful life experience, but no place for a city girl. So, we sold the gym to the Hamilton County Hospital in hopes of their developing a cardiac rehab program and looked ahead to bigger and better things.
“Houston we have a problem…”: FATTEST CITY IN THE NATION. If you build it they will come. They being the trainers. I am overjoyed to have found my place here in Houston. I am blessed to have made a difference in the lives of friends and clients here in Houston. My new project with Stacy is exciting and challenging for both of us. I hope you will enjoy following us on her journey to a healthy lifestyle!
I encourage you to try something new, to challenge yourself in a new way. If you are a couch potato, try to walk tonight. If you are a walker try to jog for 1 minute tonight. If you are a jogger, pick up the pace today. If you are a runner, try riding a bike after your run. If you ride a bike try to swim… You get the idea. It is not important that you win, it is important that you try.
