Final comments
I started in the fitness industry when leg warmers and leotards were in fashion, and my graduating class was total of seven. Now the program has hundreds of students. Personal Training was thought of something that was for movie stars and the wealthy but I have clients from all walks of life.
I often tell my clients I will pay them fifty dollars if their excuse is one that I have never heard before. I did have a client who decided to stop training with me because (as she told her friend) “Bob is too much into exercise”. Hmm…. I think I owe her $50.00 and a Thank You for the compliment.
I am very lucky to have turned my hobby and passion into a career. And the big bonus is that I get to wear shorts to work.
