ANNNND we're back....

Its been too long: helloooooo! (insert Seinfeld voice here)

I've been away, but now mentally I'm back again. A wild year it has been. By wild, I mean...how wild can you really get in the North East? Depends on how you define your life and what 'wild' really means to you.

Here is my definition of Wild:

I decided to make a career change WITHIN the personal training community and go corporate. Yes, I said it...working for 'the man' again. After the countless interviews, many train rides to and from New York City, new interview clothes (because we all know that I live in Spandex), and many hours spent traveling I made the decision that this was something I wanted. Its funny how things work out...or don't...I brought my 100% to the table, however my 100 wasn't was they were looking for. I felt defeated. What did I not show them? What was it I said that they didn't think I was 'fit' for the position?

The response: the 'branded' trainer from the facility is was they were looking for...and I wasn't that.

I may be a little too eccentric when it comes to my training techniques. I may sometimes have training ADD. I'll be the first to admit. I might want to become RKC certified one day, and the next do a barre method class. (two totally different forms of exercises!)

My direction and focus is making my workouts and my client workouts enjoyable. I take exercise from all aspects and turn it into my own cookbook. The more I know the more questions I can answer and the more recipes I can create. I can't say I'm an expert on anything. I will say that I am a well rounded personal trainer and fitness coach.

So...I shed a couple tears (hey I'm allowed), and then rose above it. I realized it wasn't about what I didn't have, but what the BRAND did want that I didn't have. I didn't have the 'stamp', and to be honest, I'm okay with it. I have found this time in my life to be one of the happiest I have ever been.

Some may call it wild, but in my book...it life.

I'm teaching 7 indoor spinning classes per week along with running cardio sculpting classes at a personal training studio. On the weekends I still have my own personal training clients. The quality, bond, trust, and reliability among the instructors, willingness to learn and motivate are beyond anything I have been a part of. A community that has reached out to teach fitness, bring a new light and energy to the table, and to LOVE and be WILD about exercise.

Back to my wild side of writing, blogging, working out, and of course…dancing.
