2009 Mission Statement

Hi folks.
I just wanted to start off the New Year by saying congratulations on surviving 2008. It was a tumultuous year to say the least. But new things for you are on the horizon.

First, I want to thank you all for trusting me with HELPING you reach your fitness goals. No matter what you read or see, YOU are the person who works hard to reach your goals. I NOR ANYONE ELSE can do it for you. This does not mean that I can't improve in helping you...I CAN and I WILL!

Second, guiding you is what I do. We will traverse through injury, mental and physical fatigue, and all of life's hurdles that come upon us. What YOU WILL DO, is come out the other side a MORE FIT PERSON.

Third, YOU will take matters into YOUR OWN HANDS! The one, two, or three days a week you see me, for some of you, is NOT ENOUGH to move forward. If you want to maintain what you have, or stay at your current level of movement and/or fitness, that is fine. We will discuss this individually later.

Finally, you know that you WORK HARD while you are with me. This will continue. There is a time for flexibility, for easy or moderate intensity, and a time for a 30 minute walk--along with the high intensity training that's needed to improve most of your fitness levels. I will expect MORE CONCERTED efforts by you to improve your health OUTSIDE OF MY REACHES in 2009. If the economy is going to suck, let it, your efforts in improving your health WILL NOT!

2009 is going to be a BREAKOUT year for some of you. I hope for ALL of you it is. It is in your hands, as to if it is YOU or not. Grab the opportunity and improve yourself.

Personally, my 6 month old Charlie has reminded me that life is precious...that the meaning of life is to GIVE YOUR life meaning. My life's meaning is to help you the best I can. If you fail I FAIL...and I will not fail!!!!!!!!!!

See you at your next session.
