New Adventures of the Fit Chick Mom

Dear Friends and Family!

I am writing today with great excitement as a new adventure has come my way. I am no longer instructing boot camp classes, instead I have decided to continue with my blog weight loss challenges and writing, personal training clients out of a gym in Nampa-- Big Jon Fitness, and online training. 

This has been such an answer to many prayers as I have decided to take this route. For one I have blogged numerous times about Big Jon Fitness in Nampa and the success I personally have had fitness and health wise since meeting up and personally training with them. This gym is small and it is a family atmosphere. The owners work there every day and they know each individual client that walks through their door. They are friendly and are a support system to every single person there. That is what I am about-- about people working hard, surrounded by others who build them up and celebrating their success with them. 

I cried last week as I was working for my dad at the local D & B Supply store, when a customer told me she has lost 150 lbs. And today when a client told me they hit the 13 pound loss mark, tears welled in my eyes again. I know how hard it is to lose weight. I know what an uphill battle it can sometimes feel like. You know why? 

Because I did it myself.

 After I started training with Big Jon in August of last year, I realized something really quickly-- there was a BIG difference between how he and his wife trained clients versus trainers I have seen at other big fitness clubs. Have you ever seen a trainer that is just in the best shape ever? You may see one or two out of all the trainers at the big clubs who look like they are practicing what they are preaching.This is a HUGE deal to me, I say-- "I don't care what your degree says or what certification you have-- you better be living the life you are making your money on." This is exactly what Big Jon and Shawna stand for and why I was so excited they offered me a position to train clients in their gym. Big Jon has a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology and a background in Nutrition as well as his wife, Shawna who has a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science. Not only are both of them educated, they live the healthy fit lifestyle, and actually both compete in figure and body building competitions across the country. They are full time, live the lifestyle 24/7 people who have guided their clients to do the same and I thank heavens that I found them almost a year ago and have been able to find my niche in the health and fitness industry through their guidance.

They have asked me to come on board their team to help people live the fit lifestyle and I couldn't be more anxious to start helping people individually reach their health and fitness goals. Big Jon believes that I have everything it takes to become the best personal trainer out there-- everything in this business comes back to living the lifestyle, practicing what I preach-- and I believe in that and work hard everyday to fill that role.

I want to invite you to a free session with me so you can decide for yourself what you think. I am now offering free one on one training sessions for you to come give  and see what you think. They don't require a gym membership for you to train with me and there are no stupid long term contracts-- just month to month training programs. Their theory is: If you are getting results and like what you are doing you will come back. When is the last time Idaho Athletic talked to you about a program that didn't involve a contract? 

I will be offering the training program and Big Jon will be helping with my clients nutrition and meal plans for whatever your goal is. This is a team effort they want everyone who steps foot through Big Jon Fitness to know each of us as trainers and be comfortable there, knowing that we are all on the same team. No competitive egos going around. Just people who are like minded, trying to work their butts off to be the best they can be. I have been around long enough to know that when you come train with me, you are going to like what you see and the transformations that have taken place in their gym. I am stoked to be on their team and look forward to helping people get real results, feel that connection to the gym, and getting you to the best, healthiest person you can be!

Give me a call or email me to set up a time for you to come and go through a free workout. Because my number one priority is still my husband and kids-- I am limiting my gym time to 8 or so hours per week. Hurry and reserve your spot today!
