June's Client of the Month

Please join me in congratulating Jenna Muzzy as our client of the month!  We are all so proud of Jenna and her incredible commitment to her health & fitness.  Jenna makes such an amazing example of what it means to make a commitment to one’s self.  Her secret to success is consistency.  Despite a busy work schedule and hectic schedule as a Mom, she always makes time for her training sessions.  Whether we see her at an Early Bird Session, a bit later in the morning, or after work, she always makes time in her schedule. 

“By putting my training sessions into my calendar people can’t schedule over me.  Anytime I see meetings crowding my day I know that I have put aside time for the gym and for myself”, says Jenna.

This is such an incredible strategy!  By putting your training sessions onto your calendar you are making a more deliberate commitment to yourself.  

We rarely cancel other appointments that we have on our calendars even when life gets busy, so why would we cancel our training sessions?  On the flip side, ​if we leave scheduling our training sessions to a last minute decision we’ll always find other more pressing responsibilities getting in the way.

This is all well and good, but all so often I have conversations with people who are working on getting to the gym for the first time.  This can be a daunting experience especially if you’ve never been in a gym before, or if it’s been a really long time since your last gym experience. 

When I asked Jenna what advice she’d give to someone who was trying to commit to becoming healthier, this is what she said:

“I would tell people that the gym is the easy part so start there.  Someone also told me that the gym is the only place you'll never regret going. I tell myself this a lot.”

I hear people say all of the time that once they get into the gym they start feeling better.  They have more energy, they are more likely to drink more water due to being thirsty during their training sessions, and they find themselves eating healthier food because their body starts craving healthy fuel after a fun and challenging training session.  I see a lot of wisdom in Jenna’s advice.  It may not seem like a lot of fun replacing french fries with broccoli, but I would argue that replacing sedentary activities with joining a community of amazing people to get moving through fun and dynamic exercises in a supportive environment is a nice trade off!

Way to go Jenna!  You are an inspiration to the training team and to others throughout our community.  Keep up the great work!  ​
