Become Powerful

I really don’t love to work out.  I think that I am in the majority here.  If it were more fun it would not be called “working” out, but would be “playing” out.  Even though I don’t love it I do it because I know I need it.  In order to make sure I do it I have to pay someone to count for me and make sure I change up my exercises and tell me jokes and keep my mind off the pain.  For me that person is Tom Stafford at Empower Personalized Fitness.

I have known Tom and worked out with him off and on for about eight years.  I have followed him as he moved locations and changed training regimes and businesses.  Recently Tom told me some news that ruined my week, his wife’s job is transferring their family to Orlando — Too far for me to travel to work out.

This could be a big excuse to stop working out this summer when Tom moves, but I know that is the wrong answer.  I need to start figuring out who the right trainer is for me who can handle me and I won’t scare to death and I think I need to do it before Tom leaves so he can give them tips on working with me.

Turns out that Empower just did a big time expansion and is starting a bunch of group fitness classes.  I am not one for group fitness as a whole because most instructors don’t appreciate my running commentary during the class.  But I do see group fitness as a way to test out a bunch of different trainers to see if our temperaments fit together.  See finding a good trainer is very similar to picking the right dog.

Thursday night is the big Empower Casino Night Launch Party with real casino games and a chance to win free training.  Well, I am all about a game and also about free so you can bet I am going to this launch party to see what I can scoop up.  If you want to come with me I would love to have your company and maybe your chips too.  Everybody’s invited.  I hear there will be food and drink, but I need to stay away from that so I can concentrate on winning.

The party starts at 7:00 Thursday at 3211 Shannon Rd. to RSVP email Launchparty@becomepowerful.com.  Tell them Dana sent you, or let me know you want to come with me.
