4 years ago today…
I remember this day very well…
I coached every class from 5am to close…I can’t tell you how many times I had to do this…
I didn’t like coaching morning classes because I used to have a sleeping problem through being homeless and sleeping in my car, and in uncomfortable places…
I also did way too much Crossfit and was over-stressed from training…
But as a leader, you have to do what’s done to finish the job and provide a quality product regardless of what you do and don’t want to do…
I coached every class, had 2 personal training sessions in between classes, hit a session an hour before 4:30, hit another session at 5:45 with my class, and finished the day around 9pm…only to wake up the next morning and do it all over again…💪🏽
I used to always leave around this time because I would do some light cleaning, listen to mellow music, call potential members back, schedule consultations, or even lift by myself after everyone was gone…
After hours I would always have people come in and ask about the gym, what we did, why I was there so late, or just hangout by the roll-up door and listen along to Majid Jordan…
These were some of the best memories…
I was pushing myself to be great…to succeed…
I learned a lot about myself during this time…I’m really grateful and happy that I went through this part…it has been the best part of my fitness career…
It was my life…and it will always be a part of the version I am now…
Memories are forever ♥️
