Paid By Passion

It was 2 weeks ago, I noticed this girl running on a treadmill covering her screen with a towel.

Last Thursday directly after PFIT class at the gym, I saw her again. I decided to do something cool. I've decided to try and get her to be our client for the Personal Fitness Management (PFIT) module where it requires us to get 2 clients per group. I took a blank sheet of paper, folded into half and wrote:

 "Free personal training

For more information contact (my number)

- Personal Fitness Management Student
(signoff)"

And then that night she texted me about her interest in knowing more information. She did ask about the project and I said that hopefully she has a friend, and it ends up that her friend also has a friend that wants to be fit, thus, a total of 3 clients. I hope I can juggle my Fitness life as well as my TRM lifestyle well.

Met all 3 of them today, 1 in the afternoon for 30min and the other 2 in the evening for 2 hours. I am happy that they want to really achieve this. I look more towards at the passion, willingness and commitment part to judge my clients. I must say, so far its looking good, the only "cons" is that its going to be very challenging for me. I've talked to them and know their background, goals and current situations, I must say its really a challenge that I will take to test my limits. I am ready for this, I would give up all my game time for this. Because I love to help in fitness-related stuff. What saddens me the most is commitment with passion ends up with failures due to lack of the proper knowledge which in the end goes to giving up.

Yes I know there are a lot of people that gives up with the lack of knowledge, but starting with even 1 person, could inspire another which = 2. Then this multiplier effect kicks in to 4, 8, 16, 32..... until so on. Another way to describe this is "Sowing my seeds in good soil".

I'm really happy doing this :D
