Today is my last day as a working personal trainer, at least for a while.
I'm so grateful to every person who has walked through the doors as early as 4 AM to work out with me from 2011-today. You gave me a career I could be successful at when my kids were young, and I was single and needed to be flexible. You listened to my life and shared the best and worst parts of yours with me. You cried sometimes and laughed every time. You went on the body positive fitness journey with me. You forgave me when I overslept on occasion and extended grace when I was injured and had to sit down during your workouts. You celebrated my birthdays. You turned my job into a social life. And yes, we exercised, but it was so much more than that. You made me feel like I made a difference. Thank you for that and the thousands of ways you changed my life for the better.
I'm keeping my certification current, as you never know what they future holds (especially with me!) but it's time to move on for now. I look forward to hanging out with all my former clients as friends. (It'll be much cheaper for you!)
