Wooo Hooo! Closed out Module 2 (Boilers) with a 98% on my Final and 97% in the class. I'm half way there baby!

For those who don't know. I'm switching careers from personal training to HVAC. I wanted to share some pictures of my experience so far. It's been fun and challenging. I'm learning a lot. I've been shadowing a contractor (Bob) on the weekends. The days are long, but well worth it. Thanks to anyone for their support and encouragement along the way.

It is with a heavy heart to announce that March 31st will be the last day of Body By Drake. While it is bittersweet, I'm happy to announce I have decided to become a student again. I will be attending school in the Spring to learn HVAC.

Steel Fitness has acquired the small group training schedule and I'm truly honored to hand off the torch to them. Thank You for everything Boris and Christina.

Thank You to anyone who has supported me. Thank You for all the great memories. Wishing the team and all past members the best of luck with their future endeavors.

With Strength and Love

1st snow down in Chicagoland. Have you ever wondered how many calories you are burning when you shovel snow?

Grab a shovel and get burning. Help an elderly neighbor with theirs for bonus points!
