What if?

What if I quit looking back at missed opportunities and instead look at the lessons I've learned and who I've become in the process?

What if I quit using those things, even subconsciously, as excuses?

What if I choose to act and believe along the lines with who I feel I truly am instead of continuing all the habits and beliefs that feel like they don't belong to me anymore?

What if?

Getting Started!

After several fits and starts, I am finally ready to get classes going next week!

Starting these classes has been a dream of mine for a long time. Ever since I began teaching Pilates back in the day. (January of 2002 -it's been a while!)

I thought if I could take close to 30 people through a good Pilates workout which is really complicated, then I could make quality personal training available on a larger scale as well. (And without having to track 20 something workouts on a clipboard!)

Since then, I'd seen trainers take huge groups of people through some great workouts, so then I knew for sure that it could be done.

I was extremely lucky in that I learned several styles of training at the same time. (Pilates, strength, sports, and some yoga). I was able to see their strengths and weaknesses, where there was overlap, and where I could make my teaching more "both/and" in order to offer the best training possible.

Now I get to do that for more people, and I am stoked!

Classes are a blast to teach, and the team environment definitely makes them more fun than one-on-one training or working out alone. The energy of the group helps in pushing everyone a little harder, and lends more focus to the workout.

I'm offering everyone a two week free trial and I thought it might be a good idea to help everyone get a two week head start to get ahead of Halloween. Monday October 19th is our start date.

The same offer applies to Pilates classes.

You can do it. Set the TiVo to record your 10PM shows, set the coffeemaker a little earlier and come on out. Besides, the beginning of your day sets the tone, so start out on a powerful and positive note.

Here's the vital stats:

Bootcamp Classes
M/W/F 6:30Am

Pilates Fusion
T/Th 9:30 AM

What to Bring:
A yoga mat
A set of weights (women 5 to 10 pounds/ men 10 to 15 pounds)
A towel
A water bottle
Anything you need to get ready (we have changing rooms and showers, but only one hot water heater, so please be considerate)
