Thank you.
May 31st will be the last class offered by PTL.
When I began dreaming of stepping into the fitness world, the desire was to help others become the best versions of themselves they could be. In a world that gives band-aid offerings for health, I wanted to give people the tools they needed to move from sickness, to health. Better movement, better quality of life. It’s never given immediately; it takes time, effort, and discipline, but for those who spent time with us for the last 10 months, that goal was achieved. Tools of fitness were given to help improve the quality of lives.
One of the classic statments stated by the founder of CrossFit was “the greatest physiological adaptations that happen in the gym is between the ears.” For me, the sharpening that happened during the last 10 months of training and coaching was a refining of my calling. It became clear to me through my time with PTL that my calling wasn’t full-time in the world of fitness, but back in the world I stepped out of, in the work of Ministry. That is why I will be shutting down PTL Fitness, and stepping back into Ministering to the Youth at Faith Peshtigo, as well as starting seminary this fall at William Tennant School of Theology.
I am incredibly grateful for this season. Thank you to all the athletes who trusted me with coaching and training them. Thank you to the Ironfit Family for allowing me to use their facilities for training. Thank you to Derek at the Armati Collective in Sturgeon Bay for the invaluable coaching you provided for me over this season. Thank you to Sarah and my kids for allowing me to jump into this with both feet and no idea where it would lead. Thank you to all who encouraged me through this season, you words had a bigger impact than you may realize.
Post Tenebras Lux. After Darkness, Light.
