Workout Wednesday: Group Fitness Classes.

October 8, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

When I first started out as a personal trainer and instructor, I wasn’t sure if I would ever, not only decide to do fitness classes, but want to teach fitness classes. Personally, classes have never been my “thing”. Then again, I was always a solo gym goer right from the start. Sure, my husband and […]

Why client talk is important.

October 1, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

This isn’t going to be a typical Workout Wednesday post. It’s Wednesday, and I did workout. I had quite a few different posts I’ve thought about working up for today, but this is something that I feel is a little more important. Why is talking with your client important? Not only does it establish some […]

Wednesday leg days.

I don’t think my legs are at their full potential. Yeah, they’re looking a hell of a lot better than they were 12 years ago, but they still need work. Apparently, I’m the only one that thinks that. If I had a penny for every time I got compliments in my legs or was asked […]

It is no secret at all that my future will definitely have me finally getting my chance to compete in a figure competition. It has been something that I have always wanted to do, something I talk about a lot. But it’s not easy, and it’s not cheap. Finances, a job that is flexible and […]

Miss Fitness finally gets certified.

December 23, 2013.Reading time 5 minutes.

Around six years ago, while I was soaking up the rays of the social life, much more than I am now, I was given the nickname Miss Fitness. It came about one night, in a packed bar, when I happened across a $50 bill on the floor that went unclaimed and the bartender let me […]

The slippery slope of “personal trainer shopping”.

November 8, 2013.Reading time 5 minutes.

A few weeks ago on the way down to Boston, a conversation arose about training and trainers. Pretty much everyone I know knows my stance on just what I think a trainer should be, and it’s shocking to me to discover that there are people out there who don’t hold to even half the standards […]
