Firstly before I continue…’The Harrods Girl’ blog is no longer and this is now my blog! This is due to security reasons. So bear with me while I build up lots of posts! And continuing on….
For the past month and some, I’ve not only been on a hiatus from this blog, but also to tell you the truth its been from life as well. Or more so life has made me take a hiatus! But time off has paid off as I am now a fully qualified Elite Personal Trainer! When I was in dance college, I had this dream for myself to create a lifestyle emporium so to speak, so it’s all underway…
I may have been in hibernation but I was not hibernating! Intense past months of gruelling circuits, boxing, spinning, weight training, training systems, programs, a whole lot of theory, physiology and anatomy, nutrition and a million exams later I have completely passed! Let me tell you, those revision sessions were not pretty ( blog ban, social life ban). I dread to think how much caffeine was consumed, but it was much-needed. I worked with some absolutely brilliant people and we generally lost our marbles together over the crazy work load! It’s all worth it as I’m working (self-employed) at a beautiful health club in Muswell Hill (near Highgate) so if any of you out there would like to become fit as fiddles drop me line, and I’ll tell you more! More posts will follow through on the matter as well! And since the weathers been beautiful, there’s no excuse for any of you not to book me up and train in one of the gorgeous London Parks…Hyde Park…Regents Park…any park!
My days aren’t any less strenuous or busy. Generally working with clients means working from 6.30am or earlier to around 10.30 in the evening. But I absolutely love it. Best thing about this job is not only meeting new clients but creating a healthy lifestyle for them and seeing the changes it makes to their mood, energy, health and physique. Little things such as altering a few changes to your diet makes a big difference in the matter of days and this is through personal experience. I’m not saying the pounds are going to fall off just like that (combination of exercise much-needed), but in terms of energy, mindset, and changes to complexion, and mood… you shall definitely notice.
Beauty of being self-employed means today I could set the afternoon aside for myself and get on with paperwork, finishing programmes for clients…and also blog! I’m also frantically looking to purchase a car within the next few days (real reason for todays afternoon off!) so have been setting up viewings like mad. After being a harassed commuter for many years, I am extremely happy to now be working in around London with an aid of a vehicle. Sigh. No more sweaty armpits on the tube to contend with everyday. Such simple thought brings such happiness! Right while I have the time, must go train myself now….power circuit in the London sunshine….
