Quit……
I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to write a letter or resignation. But I did and I delivered it. My AM was in a meeting, so I figured I could sneak away. So I did. Figured I should do it while I have the guts… and I was quaking as I went there. I did NOT want to go through the process of quitting…..
I think this is the first time I quit for a reason other than moving. But I think it’ll be for the better.
I mean, one of the things the manager said was about the privacy thing I signed…. so for a whole year after my last day (Dec 11) I "can’t" fully advertise as a personal trainer! I’ll have to be careful what I do and say and who I train. THAT’S why I wanted to leave- one of the big reasons. Cause, in reality, if I train a guy, how can I get in shit considering I was at a ladies only gym??? The longer I stay there, the more issues I’ll have leaving.
It’s hard. It’s difficult. But it’s the right thing to do. I can’t train other people until I leave. Mac mentioned I could promote and train others until they caught me and then quit…. but I’m certain I’d get in more legal troubles if I did that! At least if I do have a year, I can focus on continuing my education and train a few people through Mac’s work, or family, ect. Do some ground work, and start out flying in Jan 2010!
It was funny, though, on my way out, I mentioned to the other trainer I had been talking to and when I told her I quit… she was like "the bank?"… and she flipped when I said the gym. Even took a sec to register. But her and I have had discussions before and she completely understood.
It’s done now. So now I just have to look forward. I can focus on the areas that matter. What’s important to me.

It is tough, even when you know that is what you need to do. I quit a job I hated, and still had a hard time doing it.
