Good FITT Personal Training

So happy to have my 6 am crew in this morning at The Fitness Centre!

To those who still occasionally ask if I've started up my personal training business again, I love that you do, but the answer for now is still no. However, I have started teaching a strength class one day a week at the Women's Fitness Collective. You can find me there on Thursday's at 5:15 for a 35 minute class. Would love to see you there! Message me for details. A membership is required.

This incredible woman was my first client exactly 8 years ago today (December 28th, 2020). She took a chance on a brand new trainer, barely done my certification and with only a makeshift home studio as my basement was still under renovation. She has faithfully stuck with me over the years, as have many of my early clients, for which I am so grateful. This picture, taken on December 12th, marked our last session together and my last day of working as a trainer. It was fitting that she was also the last client I trained. So to Jenn and all the incredible clients I was privileged to train over the years, you all mean so much to me. The only person I'm training now is myself, in my cozy little workout space crammed into our storage room and shared by David as his workshop. It's not much but it works and gets used daily. Fitness will always remain an important part of my life, and maybe someday will be my living again. But for now in this Covid 19 era I'm so grateful for Brownlow Partners and the amazing colleagues I get to work with there.

I have a few rubber floor mats that I've decided to sell as we don't have a space big enough for a home gym the size they would take up, and no point in storing them. If you're interested let me know. There are two 4x6 mats and two 3x6 mats and a few smaller pieces that were cut to fit the space. Prices vary based on size. Message me if you're interested. Funny, I remember buying these and thinking how they really finished off the space in my home studio where I started out on Savannah Ridge. Made it look like a real gym. That was almost exactly 8 years ago. Hard to believe that (for now) this part of my life is coming to an end. It's been a tremendous experience to work with so many amazing clients over the years. I feel so blessed to have been on this journey with all of you who have called me your trainer. Thank you!

Hard to believe it, almost 8 years ago I began my dream of becoming a personal trainer, working from home and slowly by slowly, referral by referral, building my business. It started with this lovely lady here, my best friend Jenn. She's been with me from day 1, a loyal client and the best friend a girl could have. So it is only fitting that she is the last client I saw today, on the last day that I do this full time. In honour of my work "uniform" all these years I am still wearing a hoodie, but today instead of my Good F**T logo, it's the logo of my new employer Brownlow Partners. Excited to be starting this new adventure, but glad for a few more months of Saturdays to spend training my wonderful clients. You are all incredible and what I will miss most about being a trainer.
Excuse the fog on the face shield, she was sweaty and I was laughing. Damn Covid. Can't even do proper selfies anymore.

Guess what day it is?? CPR training day! Always working to keep you safe. ;)

Bye bye home gym. It was fun. Back to the studio now.

What a difference in temperature today vs. last week. Last week I was dying out here from the heat. Today I actually need my hoodie on. Crazy! I'm sure my clients will appreciate the cooler temperatures! Kudos to them all for sticking it out last week and pushing through some tough workouts in that insane heat wave we were having.

A little bit of rearranging and just like that our deck goes back to being a great place to hang out on a Saturday afternoon! But don't worry folks, by Monday the beer and peanuts will be all gone and I'll be ready to get you doing burpees again. Lol

And talk about an easy commute! :)
