Fitness with Harmonie

06/24/2026

These are my notes after seeing a client this week. Part of being a personal trainer is a bit of therapy. We all need validation.

//// We had a great visit today. ------ is feeling tired and exhausted that their life feels like a sh*tshow, with never ending sequals.

I think it is 100% ok, to have grief, to cry to be mad. Grieve the losses of what you thought it shoudl be. Life does suck, most of the time, why? I don't know, it just seams prevalent that this is what being human is. I shared several stories of evidence of life sucking why we chose this is beyond me. My client does have it rough, the clients complaints are valid.

Life is a sh*tshow, no denying that.

My perspective that I wanted to share, and I hope came across is that in the middle of all that crap, it is our choice to still find Joy in the little things, sometimes that is the only place we can find joy.

Little things... like my hair is growing:) Or the way a chicken looks at you sideways. Or the amazement of a colorful flower petal.

As humans in the this existence, what else do we have? While feeling sad, beat up and exhausted we can simultaneously laugh, smile and find joy. And it is okay to have both. ////

Yes fitness includes emotional health too.

Let me rephrase: How are you SHOWING (not making) your loved one that you trust and love them?

Sometimes, you need to take a cold shower:)

Should you eat something before you work out or should you work out on an empty stomach?

The answer?

Work out whenever you’re willing to work out! Food in your tummy or not, working out is still working out!

If you are an athlete that counts single calories, then that is a longer conversation.

If you are a normal person who will still eat the occasional french fry or banana. Keep it simple! Just work out! full or empty stomach, morning or night. It doesn’t matter all that much. Just work out.

I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach.

I am fortunate to have a job I really love. And it can be so rewarding for me. I love to help people. Primarily my job is to help people live with less pain and to feel better.

This week, I helped one of my clients be able to play basketball again, not pain free, but better than he has for years. He thought he may never get to play again. And now he is able to do something that he loves (not every week! We still have more work to do😂)

And I organized a 10k for my clients who had that as a goal. I had one client who finished her first 10k! And another who had double knee replacement complete over 4 miles!

And I had a client with an injured hip and wasn’t able to walk without pain send me this text today.

“I have to tell you I did all my exercises today and my hip is not hurting as much as it did. I can even walk a little better without as much pain as I had. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! I really appreciate you!”

And I held my client as she cried…..not because of me😂. Although I have had that effect before too😂

It’s Wednesday and I love my job! I’ve only seen half my clients so far this week:)

I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Nutrition Coach. And yes, between sessions I also enjoy construction, but never as much as I enjoy Personal Training:)

In June I should have 2 spots open. About 40% of my clients see me to help them heal or recover (often after insurance has run out) and about 40% to lose weight. I included a couple of my clients who i am so proud of:) ! Way to go guys!

I am $180 a month for weekly sessions this includes access to a private gym, and an app with everything you will need.

FYI if you get a letter of medical necessity from your doctor or Physical Therapist, the cost of a nationally recognized certified personal trainer could qualify for HSA reimbursements.
