Today marks the completion of 10 years of The Gymnasium - Personal Fitness Studio.

It has been one hell of a ride every step of the way - a journey of continual learning and discovery. And this wasn’t just limited to the coaching part but the entrepreneurship and managerial roles as well.

Coaching is a craft that takes time to learn; you can never stop learning if you want to be the best at your craft. You cannot learn to coach in a book, on the Internet or sitting in a lecture class. You must coach to learn to coach. You must get your hands dirty, do the grunt work, make some mistakes, fail forward and keep learning.

For me, it has always been a constant balancing act with staying current with the latest methods & research, and doing what I know has worked. You must constantly iterate and fine tune to stay ahead of the game and do justice to your clients.

Much has changed in 10 years, but the fundamentals have not changed. I learned the hard way not to stray far from the basics. Look for simple solutions to complex problems. Coach your clients based on their lifestyle.

Thanks to all the clients I have been fortunate to work with - they were my teachers. I only hope that I was able to give them as much as they gave to me.

Looking forward to many more years! 🥂

No fancy-shmancy diet plan. Just guiding them through how to make the right choices when it comes to eating right. And the results speak for themselves!

The body will become better at whatever you do, or don’t do.

If you don’t move, your body will make you better at not moving.

If you move, your body will allow more movement.
