So after 9 years I have stepped down from my role as Personal Trainer at Anytime Fitness of Leander. It has been a long crazy journey that I never would have imagined going on, but at the end of the day it is time.
I want to say thank you to some key people that were a part of that journey.
First and foremost I want to thank my trainer Kelsey Gillespie. She believed in me at a time I really needed someone to and encouraged me to use my story to help and inspire others and become a CPT. If it hadn’t been for you I honestly don’t know where I would be now.
Next I want to thank Shawn Michael Curran who as the manager at the time took a chance on a middle aged rookie. Thank you for the guidance and wisdom about making training be more than about the $ but also about finding the connection to really get through to make a difference.
The othe trainers I have worked with over the years Amanda Usselman, Cindy Flannery, Rob Evans, and many more. I learned so much from all of you. You all made me better.
And finally to all of the clients I have had over this near decade. I hope that I have made a difference in some of your lives whether out time together was long or short. And for those that have become friends, well, you all have a special place in my heart. Pete Garza who trusted in me enough to let me use him as a test subject for some of my more creative workouts. We, well you really, left a lot sweat on the mat together. Tedd Bobb for always putting in the hard work and growing. Dude your home gym is nicer than mine! When I am ready to start lifting heavy again I might need to rent some space..lol. And finally Barbara Bobb. You inspire me every workout. If I am even half as active at your age I will still be more active than most. We have been together for about 8 of those nine years!
Now is the time to really start focusing on myself to start getting back where I want to be. Another journey but this time with a lot more experience behind it.
