Monkey Blog

My trainer and I had a great seven month run.  When I started working out with him I knew next to nothing about training.  I didn’t know how to use any of the equipment, know any exercises, or have any clue what I should be eating to gain muscle.  Not to mention the fact that I had put off joining a gym for years.  When our time was up I was not only completely comfortable with going to the gym, but I also had gained over twelve pounds of muscle and dropped my bodyfat.  Still I have to admit I was a little surprised when he asked me if I would submit a testimonial and be one of his success stories.  I had my picture taken with him and wrote up a short description of what we accomplished together.  I went to the gym yesterday and when I was walking to the locker room I spotted a familiar face on the wall…..mine!  It seems almost surreal that a year ago I was too intimidated to even go into the place and wasn’t even thinking about joining a gym.  Now a few months after I started I’m up on the wall with other people who “made it”.  Hopefully my profile will help some other clueless punk who is thinking about joining up.  And the circle of life continues.
