Disclaimer: All names have been changed, mainly to protect me...and for my own amusement...

Now that I've told you as to how I got here, let me tell you what I'm going to do while I'm here and where I hope to go...

As of now, I'm working at a gym in Stamford. From here on in, my current gym will be called The Gym...original, I know. (I'm withholding the actual name and the 4-letter words I've chosen aren't appropriate at this time...mainly b/c I'm still working for The Gym). The trainers at The GYm are awesome...probably the smartest group of people I've ever worked with. I thought I knew more than the average Joe in terms of fitness. Boy was I wrong!! I have plenty to learn...but this is definitley the place to do it!!

The Gym is predominantly known for rehabilitation from any and most orthopedic issues and an older population in general. We still have a small group of people that come in training for triathlons and other competitive races. However, a large majority of the clientele just want the ability to move throughout the day w/o pain.

In addition, the chiropractor we are associated with started an off-season conditioning program for local high school athletes. I've been lucky enough to train a few HS football players. THIS is my domain. I LIVE for these workouts: agilities, plyometrics, strength work, etc. This is where I hope to go...

Ideally, I would love to run a few boot camp classes during the week and help people improve their overall fitness, in addition to helping them kick butt in any competition they undertake. However, there will always be room for the person coming off of surgery wanting to get back to the court/field or the parent/grandparent that just wants to keep up with their kids/grandkids...
