Yesterday, I went to a new gym to see what it was like. When I finished my workout, I started asking one of the trainers some questions about the facility etc... After a while, she asked me if I was also a personal trainer and was looking for clients! What a feeling! From 35 lbs overweight to someone actually thinking I was a personal trainer! It's little comments like this that will continue to motivate me evry day. I'm 32 yrs old, and can honestly say, I am currently in the best "shape" of my life. Thanks everyone for answering my questions on this journey! To the newbies: stick with it - it works!

Maybe you should consider it?

Keep on doing what you're doing and encouraging others to do the same (and you could get paid to help newbies...):big_smile:

Asimmer, not yet! Another year maybe, I have to prove to myself I can stick with it for at least 18 months. There are some really good course offered in Montreal, fullt accredited. Next year maybe....
