New Job, New Gym

12 07 2008

So a few posts ago I said I was going to Bally in DC to be a personal trainer. Since then, I found a place that was a much, much better fit for me. I am now a proud employee of City Fitness in Cleveland Park, near the zoo (probably doesn’t mean much for you non-DC people). Today was my first day of training, and I LOVE it. It’s amazing how people can make a job loads of fun, or literally hell. The staff and the clients are friendly, fun, and don’t take themselves too seriously. Even my boss is fun! How cool is that?

Anyway, before I left, the two guys I was working with said I couldn’t go home until I did this week’s Crossfit-inspired challenge. It was 5 rounds of 5 deadlifts and 10 burpees for time. I did it using 95lbs for my deadlift (gotta watch my hamstring since it’s finally healing!) and did it in 6:10. It felt great and I can’t wait to learn more from the Crossfit instructors at City Fitness.

I’m so grateful to have found City Fitness and my new mentors. Now time to work towards my goal of opening my own fitness business. It will be ready in no more than 2 years. Take note of this date. Ok, out for a run and then back to studying. Come back on Monday for a fitness-focused post.

Go out and do something good for you body!
