Making the commitment!

My first bootcamp session started today – it was so much fun! I’ve had circuit training classes in the park for several years, but this is my first time asking people to commit to a month of hard work, including nutrition and exercise. It got me thinking about the word “commitment.” It means different things to different people, I know. In my personal life, I tend to commit to long-term ideals…therefore, offering an ongoing circuit training class seemed to make sense. But I’ve learned through my years as a trainer that many people respond best when they can make a short-term, all-encompassing jumpstart towards their long-term goals. I’ve heard these phrases so many times in my work: “I just need a kick in the ass,” or “I want to turn over a new leaf.” I’m excited to be embracing an alternative definition of committment, and we have started that path today…but there’s still room for you if you want to join up!
