There's nothing quite like seeing my clients not only achieve their goals but also discover a newfound confidence in their bodies.

My passion lies in helping people unlock their full potential through strength and mobility work, crafting programs that don't just build muscle but truly enhance their ability to move, live, and thrive. It's about empowering you to feel better, move better, and live better.

And it's all made possible by the incredible individuals I get to work with. Your dedication and hard work are my biggest inspirations. This week, I want to shine a light on a few more amazing examples:

* Jill: Your dedication to the practice is truly outstanding, and you always manage to make me feel like the best trainer in the world! So glad to have you in my world, and to see your commitment paying off.

* Bill: Consistently showing up, consistently pushing for more! It's inspiring to see your drive to accomplish new feats and get stronger with each passing season. Keep crushing it!

* Mike: You might just be one of the most active people I know! I've put you through workouts that even I wouldn't attempt, and then you'll go plant 150 trees by hand in your orchard – simply wow! Your incredible strength, stability, and mobility are a testament to your hard work, and I have no doubt they'll lead to remarkable longevity.

Thank you to Jill, Bill, Mike, and all my amazing clients. Your trust, your effort, and your belief in yourselves are what make this journey so rewarding.

Every day, I'm genuinely inspired by the dedication and resilience of the people I get to work with. My clients aren't just names on a schedule; they're partners in their own health journeys, and their commitment continually reminds me why I love what I do. It's truly a privilege to witness their transformations, both big and small.

This week, my heart is especially full thinking about these incredible individuals:

* Laura: Your consistency through hip pain, back pain, a "stupid foot", and everything life throws your way is nothing short of incredible. Seeing your improved mobility and strength lightens my day!

* Jim: The King Tomato himself! At 93 years young this year, you're still push-mowing your massive, sloped lawn. It's been an absolute joy to help you improve your posture and age with such grace and incredible performance. You're an inspiration to us all!

* Barbara: I'm so happy you've come into my life. Sometimes I feel like I should be paying you for all the wonderful motherly advice! Amidst all the laughs, your hips and knees are no longer a problem, and your upper body strength has seen amazing improvements. Kudos on all the ways you're crushing it!

To Laura, Jim, Barbara, and all my amazing clients – thank you for your trust, your hard work, and for allowing me to be a part of your incredible journeys. You truly make my work a joy.

Every single day, I'm incredibly grateful for the unique journey I get to share with each of my clients. My personal training business isn't just about reps and sets; it's built on a foundation of trust, partnership, and a shared commitment to sustainable well-being.

What truly makes my work possible, and allows me to embrace a lifestyle that often involves travel and working remotely, is the unwavering dedication and loyalty of the people I work with.

My business thrives because my clients are just as dedicated to their own health journeys as I am to guiding them.

Whether we're working in person, online, or through custom programs they follow while I'm away, their consistency and self-belief are what drive real, lasting change. It's a true collaboration, and it's something I never take for granted.

I dropped a couple names and results last week, and I'm doing it again today! I'm thinking it might be a thing for a little while 😁

* Jacquie, even almost two years since our last session, you've maintained your glute activation and kept knee pain at bay. From barely squatting 8 years ago to seamless lunges today – that's consistency!

* Peter, you are one of my longest-standing snowbird clients: thank you for trusting me through countless experiments! Your dedication to mobility and longevity keeps that golf score improving, and it's a privilege to be part of your health and fitness team!

* Brad, you came to me with an odd sort of back pain, and now your back is nearing bullet-proof status! With his dedication (and a little accountability from me!), his mobility has dramatically improved, and we've set our sights on getting him back to powerlifting. It's been an honor to work with so many members of his family, too!

So once again, to each and every one of my clients – thank you for your trust, your hard work, and for allowing me to pursue my passion while you crush your goals. You're the best!

My weekly reflection is filling my heart! And I'm full of appreciation for my amazing clients today! ❤️

My "gypsy soul" means I'm often on the go, but it's your incredible loyalty and commitment that truly makes this lifestyle possible. You show up for yourselves and absolutely crush the programs we create, no matter where I am in the world. It's truly inspiring!

This past winter was no exception – check out some of these incredible wins:

* Tricia lost over 15lbs and, more importantly, completely embraced healthy lifestyle practices. You've made healthy choices second nature, and the continuous positive changes are amazing to witness!

* Amy, you absolutely blew me away! Through sheer dedication, you not only reached your ideal weight but also saw zero knee pain and shaved a whopping 5 minutes off your 10K! Your belief in yourself and your support system are shining through.

* Len is reducing weight and building serious speed and endurance! Get ready for a huge PR in July – I've got a feeling it's going to be epic.

These are just a glimpse! And there's tons more to come 💪😎

To each and every one of my clients – thank you for your trust and loyalty, your hard work, and for allowing me to pursue my passion while you crush your goals. You're the best!

I had a great time out west snowboarding, catching up with friends and pushing my body to the limits. Getting out of town, getting physical and getting the vitamin D was just what I needed.

What’s your plan to create experiences? Are you traveling this winter? What will you do to stay active? Share your adventures and inspire others to do the same! 🏂☀️🌄

“I made weight... down 2 lbs.... so down [a total of] 32lbs!!!” And counting!

Jenny and I have been working together for just a couple months now and it’s been a great experience! (I hope for both of us LOL)

AND she's still enjoying herself as she goes!!

This is one of the BIGGEST keys to making progress toward any goal. Because if you aren’t enjoying it, it’s not worth it.

I enjoy working with you so much, Jenny, because you get it!

You know that you don’t have to subscribe to some starvation diet or crazy exercise plan that makes you miserable to get results.

Sure there have been low moments, times when you've felt stuck. But you keep at it because you know that the hard work and self discipline will pay off 10 fold!

And so I wanted to take a moment to celebrate your hard work 😁

Curious how she's doing it?
Well.. There’s not any magic to her progress. It’s simple steps that work for her, and they are implemented perfectly!

Love it when it all comes together!

Sometimes I can't sleep at night because my brain won't shut off, usually stressing about what I have to get done, or comparing myself to someone else...

And then I get stressed out because I'm not getting enough sleep and then I have anxiety over the thought that I won't function through the day...
😳

Been there? Yeah, I get it.

Today was different though.

I felt of sort of peace. A calmness, maybe even joy.

The things in my head this time were reflections of what I've been doing the last couple of years, and you know what?

I'm happy 😁

I might not have as many clients, a massive following, or a huge income based on an automated sales system like so many social media influencers.

But what my team and I do is different. And because of that it is so incredibly fulfilling.

So yeah. Other coaches and health and fitness pros might look at me and think I'm not as successful, but each and every day I can lay down knowing that I've made an impact in someone's life and in a way that that was authentic to me and true to them.

It's all about being true. And I think so many people have gotten away from that to chase a buck.

I mean sure, I gotta make money too.

But with the gifts and experiences I've been given, I'm driven to keep authentically helping people and really guide them towards their most important goals... and that makes me feel all the more successful!

I believe it's my purpose, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
