phazesfitness.blogspot.com

so, I said I was doing outdoor fitness adventures and bootcamps and such. my blogspot until I have a "real" website is phazesfitness.blogspot.com
Monday morning at 6am I have about 10 potential personal trainers coming to try out for a job. There is a marine, 2 marathon runners and guy who does martial arts and combat training a professional rock climber and a personal trainer as well as a few other assorted types. I am going to get my trash kicked. but that's what I want. I can hardly wait!

right now we just have bootcamps going on, but pretty soon we are adding weekend adventures, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, etc...

My job is the best!

I started a Fitness Bootcamp!

Sometimes I wonder why God directs one path and then that path halts and it is also the right answer. as many of my friends know, I went back to work punching a clock for someone else in the form of a job at Curves. I prayed about the decision and it felt right. It was definitely the right thing to pursue. 7 months later I am quitting. It's weird to call it quits so soon when I thought I was going to be able to give them a year or 2 of my life.
in the process of my time there increasing membership, training team and clients and loving my job as a fitness coach once again - I learned a few things about myself. I am critical and bossy and driven and competitive. I don't take instruction well from someone I have little respect for and I would make a great business owner with a good partner.

SOOOOO...
Enter my new outdoor fitness adventure!!!!
Phazes Fitness - "Outdoor fitness adventures"
I partnered up with an old friend I deeply admire for her skills in administration, business development and her love for fitness and adventure - Robin Sanderson. and my husband Bill has talked his way into being my Director of marketing. It's a great partnership and both Robin and I put in our notices and quit our jobs.

SCARY and exciting at the same time. I feel so good about the decision.
so now, I tie up loose ends at Curves, do some training of the new employees and get on with something I am passionate about more than anything - playing outside! and getting fit doing it!
wow. I can't believe I am on this path. it is a dream coming true right now. I had gone to college to become a personal trainer and fitness instructor and somewhere along the way lost me. I am coming back. My girl, Wendy Smart lost 5 pounds this past week at my Bootcamp!!! it's thrilling to be doing this for people and seeing the change happening in their lives.
So if you check out phazesfitness.blogspot.com that's my business blog. loads of fun! we are going to be doing kayaking, hiking and trail runs, biking, swimming, repelling and rock climbing and so much more!
This should be an amazing journey!
