The Defining moment for me!!!

This past weekend I was sent an email from one of my members, an email which I want to share with you below. This email is truly why I do what I do. For those that know personally know me, they know that I speak truths and I say things sometimes that offend people, primarily because I am honest, I don't sugar coat things and it probably makes some people upset at me, well let me rephrase that, in some cases it really pisses people off. Sometimes it just take a step back to truly ask yourself what you want or what you don’t want. That goes for business, family, personally and in this case physically. As you will see from below, just like Vivian, you all are in control and in charge of everything you do!

Hey Greg,
So I was at the gym this morning and I was thinking about when things changed for me as I was using the stair master and looking at those framed appreciation letters on the wall.

I guess it would have to be the first time I formally met you. Mary Ellen had gathered a bunch of people from Lakeside to celebrate the Holiday Season and I believe she called it a "Friends in Fitness" get together. That morning we had all just received your first email announcing that you had bought the Gym. I had seen you around the gym but you and I had never met. That night at the Pub Gina introduced us. I was saying something about how I needed to try something new with my exercise routine as I had not been able to lose the last 20 lbs. You asked me, "What's the problem?" and I told you I needed to lose more weight. You asked me if I had changed what I was eating and I said, "I don't want to give up my food. I eat well." You looked me dead in the eye and said, "So, what's the problem?" I said I need to lose 20 more lbs. You said, you need to cut in half what you eat and I said, "I don't want to give up my food." You said again, "So, What's the problem?"

I don't know why but it did not hit me then. Since you have taken over the gym I have seen lots of positive changes. The main thing is the weekly emails and or Facebook blasts with your words of wisdom and/or quick tips. This past week you sent out Summer Slim Down Tips. The first one is what got me to write this email as it brought me back to that night at the Pub - "You can never our exercise a bad diet." As soon as I read that I heard your voice asking me "So, What's the problem?"

After reading your FB Blast I got myself on the computer and I printed out 6 different HIIT routines that I could do myself. I got myself in the gym and I made the effort to complete 2 of those routines as well as taking the 2 classes I usually take at LFC this week. I've made the decision to stop making excuses and I will make the effort to change what I eat as well as how much. I have figured out what the problem is and the problem is me. I make the rules and I set the tone.

Thank you for that,
Vivian
