SWITCHING CAREERS

Have you ever had a chance to sit back and really think about where you are in life and what is stopping you from getting where you want to be in life? I spent nearly 11 years working the “cube life” at a job that paid the bills- that’s it. No spark. No joy. No wanting to advance.

The boredom allowed me to think outside of the cube with the need to search for other opportunities. I would apply for other jobs and even turned offers for one reason or another. It wasn’t until about a year ago that I realized that I wanted to get into personal training.

I’ve always been pretty active throughout my life. I grew up riding horses and competed on the equestrian team in college. I took up the hobby of running and have run all distances from 3Ks to full marathons. I enjoy being outside and going to the gym. It dawned ono me, that if I can wake up early for a workout, but I despise getting up for the cube life, then maybe I need a career where I can work out and encourage others to do the same.

Everything I do in a workout benefits my life in more than one way. For example, I work on my core a few times a week which is essential for riding AND running. I attend CycleBar which also helps with core and cardio for each. It’s amazing how we can do one workout and have it benefit so many muscles in our body that are needed for everything we do.

It’s knowing that I LOVED working out and being the best version of myself, that I realized I wanted to help others become the best version of themself that I decided to become a personal trainer and I haven’t had any regrets.
