This week some big changes came into affect. They are needed changes; some that will help with my own families growth, health, my health and wellness, business’s wellness and empowering all involved. For 11 years I have taught boot camp classes. I LOVE IT! However, I also love teaching at 120%. My business is like an appendage of me. It helps me leverage the message of health, fitness, wellness, fun, family fitness and more to the masses. Being a trainer is a means to paint a healthy picture each day…however the colors involved when painting aren’t so bright when the “painter” has to much on her plate.
Thus, I sent the following email to my boot campers on Wednesday and am sharing it with all of you now…
“May you delight in seeing what you are capable of!”
“May you be proud of the work you do,
the person you are and the difference you MAKE.”
You, the incredible and capable boot campers in Power Fitness PDX, are a gift! You have been inspiring me to wake up each morning and teach boot camp for the last 5 years. Well 11 if I count Portland Years! It has been a journey and a gift- one I feel beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to do. Each of you came to class with some nerves, some hesitations, excitement, energy, curiosity and motivation for change. Change YOU did! You became a TEAM of rockstar athletes. YOU gave your all on mornings you would have rather slept in bed. Your dedication and courage to just “go for it” made me continue to go for it.
My business has been my bonus child…until Finley came along and then it became my distant 4th.
The last year has been one of juggling and shifting, especially the last 6 months. While many of you know, Finnie has been sick nonstop since the end of October. It’s been 6 months of labs, doctors appointments, some hospital stays and honestly, her being up 2-3 hours every night. She was just referred to two new specialists and all of us are grateful she is the happiest baby. We have no idea how energetic she’ll be once 120% healthy! While you all tease I have a lot of energy, I can’t defy the odds forever. This is the last Session of Power Fitness PDX.
I have created the brand new
Inspirator Coaching, Inspirator Incubator and
Ryte, however not at 5:45 am with the 4: 45 am wake up call. At least for now. I don’t feel I can continue teaching early morning PFPDX with my 120% effort needed to do it how I feel it deserves, and need to invest that energy to getting Finley healthy.
YOU have been beyond incredible! Please keep me posted of your fitness goals, involved with anything you need in health and fitness or coaching advice. I will continue to do family fitness classes, fundraiser classes and of course the Mother’s Day Class on Friday of Mother’s Day weekend. This is not a good bye, but Aloha! Make sure to always Dig Deep. Play HARD!
Much love followed by countless Burpees-
