The Path of The No

               Whether you are a trainer, an athlete, an enthusiastic class member, or a casual gym goer, there are things you are doing in your life to be well, be fit, and live a healthy joy filled life. As a trainer, anyone that walks through the doors at my facility is a blessing to see, and I am proud of each step they take in their fitness journey. Including that first step into the building.
