WHO'S THAT GIRL?

Thanks a bunch for your emails gals .. and to the guys too! Posting comments would be fab but the emails tickle me pink too. People have been asking me why they should hire me as their personal trainer. Please - I love a soap box ...

5 reasons why you should hire moi as your personal trainer (these are GOOD listen up):

1. First up and most important, I actually like what I do. Call me crazy but it makes me happy when you get fit : lose weight : run your first race : fit into your skinny jeans : climb a flight of stairs without sucking wind and can see your kneecaps again. I love it! My clients are the best on the planet.

2. I practice what I preach. I do yoga, run, rock climb, bike and workout at the gym. You'd think most trainers could claim this but NOOOOOOO sadly, some cannot. But just because I like to do fitness-y kind of things doesn't mean I have perfect-body genes. No no no no no and no.

3. Which brings me to my next point. I work hard to stay fit and healthy but I'm not a freaky gym rat. I struggle with fat genes in my family. There, I said it. It's out in the open now. I like to eat and love chocolate and good wine and salty buttery popcorn YUM and, I'm not done yet, there are times when I really don't feel like working out - same as anyone else. I have to drag my little butt out for a run. I also obsess about certain body parts just like YOU. Don't even get me started on butt exercises. I am your gal if you want to lift your booty North. So I get that it's work and know where my clients are coming from. I just do.

4. I have a teeny-tiny bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and how exactly does that make me a good personal trainer? Well let's just say my OCD-ness means a highly (cannot stress 'highly' enough) detail oriented training program for you. I like client charts. I like them VERY much. And let's also say a good day for me is when I make sure you do 3-sets of each exercise. This makes me happy, I cannot lie.

5. I'M FUN. And easy to be around - oh come on - some of you kind of like hanging out with me at the gym, a girl can tell these things. You'll laugh and have a good time. I really don't take myself too seriously, except for the 3-sets thing. That I do not kid about. And Lord knows I can't count to save my life. I like to get you laughing because I actually enjoy spending time with you. I wouldn't be training you if I didn't.
