H.T.F.U!!!!
October 9th, 2008
Just thought I'd take the opportunity to reflect on a great experience I've had since coming to The New Me. This week is another Intake Week, but it's not like the others. We have 2 girls leaving after being here 12 weeks, and 1 leaving after 8 weeks. These guys have been truly inspirational and just wanted to make mention about 1, but will discuss the other 2 in a few days.
This 'overy-pink-wearing 8-weeker' came to us at 96.5kg, and gave up smoking on the day she arrived. She was bubblt right from the start and blew many people away with her positive attitude. She definitely brought a much needed positive boost to the place at a time when it was needed. Even when her muscles ached she was still happy. She pushed herself hard, and smiled all the way.
But it wasn't all easy going. After 4 weeks, and some great results, she had a few hurdles and this really showed in her attitude. She was still happy, and still worked hard, but it seemed she had to really work at being positive rather than the easy way it just flowed at the start.
Well the end of 8 weeks is 2 days away and she is looking awesome. This unfit, obese, smoker, has left has left as a slimmer, fitter young lady who can now run 10km!
She can RUN 10km!!!!!!
I am very proud, and this girl epitomises what a trainer needs in a client: Turn up, listen, learn, implement. She really is a credit to herself and whilst we provided the atmosphere and tools, she can take credit for all the great results because it was her putting in each day.
Well Done!
Ps. HTFU? ...... Well this is how this girl motivated herself. When she knew she needed to lift for a session she would wear the cap she brought for times like that. It just had HTFU across it (Harden The F*** Up)
