'O' the BuZZ

Killer Boxing Class!

Taught a killer boxing class tonight. It was my first box class at this gym and I the members loved it! I think the spark is back. Well it was never totally gone, just a little less sparkly than it has been. Let me re-hash; I took a break from trying to pursue full time PT this year because I had an opportunity arise at such a critical time in my career that I would of given up everything to be a part of this opportunity and help them grow their business and boost their profile in Sydney. But the fact of the matter is I am not completely ready. I know I always say this, mentally I am ready and will remain as a sponge, physically I am there too, just need to refine the movement and develop sequences and flows that are challenging, creative and satisfying. I have allot of my own stuff that I would love to work through and convert  my "many" ideas into something structured, polished and marketable.

I do love what I do, making people sweat, yelling, laughing, making fun of them, getting people to be more bendy, stronger core all essential elements to a fabulous workout.

Even my lunch time class was a buzz. Should of called it "zoo moves". I had people rolling on the ground, bouncing on all fours, crawling on the floor, flipping inside out, walking back wards on their hands. Sounds crazy eh. Well it was if you had never done that stuff before. For me, just another day in the office!

What I have got most from shifting my focus away from the admin and business side of PT is that I actually love love love being a trainer. Being the trainer, the entrepreneur, the accountant, the public relations person, the marketing person and sales person can be an arduous task. 

I found this especially difficult and uninspiring when as a trainer shifting away from traditional machine based / one dimensional movement to then having to learn a whole new discipline and then teaching a creative made up version of this discipline to others , made me feel, I need space. Time to learn, acquire, practice, practice, practice. I became lost conceptually as to how to market myself. Every day I was (am) changing, my perspective and approach has changed and therefore developing workable programs that deliver results is not  the bottom line. It is, are these programs marketable and do they sell.

Again...the cycle of thoughts; I want to be more, strive for more, need to learn more...raaaaahhhhh

The lesson is this. I am already this, I am good at what I do, in fact I am great at what I do. I connect with my people, I listen to what they want, see where they are at, and create a plan as to how to improve weaknesses and imbalances in their body and get them moving.

Hmmmm the buzz has gone and my head is thinking strategy.


Roll on 25th sept. I am ready :)
