Worth a post: If you See Bob Hum today, make sure to congratulate him! He’s been with the gym for 10 years!!
Jp-Short story: when Bob approached me 10 years ago about training. We were at the last gym. The garage doors were open, it was a nice day out!
He asked me about personal training. The truth, he was under qualified at the time. I told him that. I also told him if he decided, we’d give him a try, and that he’d be my under dog in the class. Those in the PT class at the time, had degrees and or certifications. So he would be at a disadvantage. Knowing him, I knew he wouldn’t take that as disrespect. If anything, it was the exact opposite! A challenge. I’ve seen his work ethic in the gym, and something I’ve always believed. The work you put in, when no one’s watching, correlates to real life. The character, the grit, the discipline, and in many other ways! He’s not afraid of a challenge. Marathon, strongman, training, or 10 years of grit. He’s 10 toes down! For that, he will always have my respect.
From underdog, to all these years later, a pillar in the gym! Thank you for believing, and trusting us all these years. We’re all fortunate to have you! God willing, we have a lot more to look forward to. And you’re a big part of it! Appreciate ya. 💪👊
