Kicking it up a notch - Chapter1

Just back from TK class!! It was awesome!! We had a pretty awesome turn out considering it was Holiday Monday here! We still had about 30 ladies which considering the long weekend is pretty great! And they worked it!!!

It's awesome too that since getting home from Presenter Camp in the OC I really feel renewed! I feel like I did when I first started teaching! In many ways its very similar to just starting out because all of the feedback, and new knowledge that they poured into us, the first few weeks back at home have felt so new which is AMAZING! I am really trying my best to take all of the tips and advice I've been given and put it into practice because I not only want to be the best I can be, but I want all the new Instructors to start off on the right foot, so I have to definitely UP my Game! Man this journey keeps getting better!!!

Please Pray for Holly!

Hey Folks!

I just wanted to ask you all to send positive vibes, prayers or anything else you've got to my friend, Holly. Holly was at Turbo Kick™ Presenter Camp with me two-weeks ago and for those who know her, she was the most warm, friendly and awesome person you could meet (not to mention that she kicks some major Turbo Butt!)

Holly had an accident while 4-wheeling this weekend and did some major damage to herself. Breaking bones in her face, dislocating her wrist and thumb and breaking bones in her wrist.

PLEASE send positive healing thoughts and prayers to her!!! (She is Number6 on my friends list, so if you wanted to send her a nice HELLO I'm sure she wouldn't mind either!!!

What a week!

What an insane, amazing, draining, inspirational, emotional, energetic, humbling week!

I, along with 14 amazing folks were fortunate to be selected to attend the Presenter Training Camp, hosted by Powder Blue Productions in Orange County, California.

From the moment I arrived I was in awe of how amazing all of the other attendees were. Energetic, Physically Gifted, Kind, and all with one in thing in common. Everyone is passionate about fitness, and more than that, about Turbo Kick™.

Throughout the week and the hours of workouts, inspiring speakers, bonding and team building I went through a tonne of different emotions. Joy, Excitement, Happiness, and Gratitude for just being there.
The other attendees were amazing in every way! Heidi, Annette, Michael, Kamryn, Janet, Jeanette, Alex, Maurtisha, Holly, Fene, Ali, Judy, Merideth and Francee are some of the best all around people I've ever met. Some I knew before, some were new friends but all of them inspired me. I REALLY feel blessed to even be put into the same group as these amazing instructors and motivators.

We were all treated to some Presenters who have been doing this for a while and they were all at another level. Their confidence, strength and kindness made our week that much better! The advice, and tips they gave us was so valuable and if I can be half as good as they are I will be an allstar!

Without going into all the details, let me just say that I've never worked so hard, been inspired so much nor have I been so motivated to take Turbo Kick™ to the next level here in Toronto.

I landed in Toronto and 7hours later was at work. 8hours after that I was teaching my first Turbo Kick™ class since Camp. It was amazing! I felt stronger, and worked harder myself than I ever have! Man did the class respond too! I walked into the class and there were over 50 ladies ready to rock! WOW! It was amazing! One thing is for sure, spending this week with these amazing people and knowing that my phenomenal wife was at home, not only supporting me, but taking care of everything at home has definitely changed me. As an instructor, and as a person I've definitely grown and will use this experience to continue to grow and improve!
