Recently I’ve been a guest on a few podcasts(put my name into apple itunes podcast and give one a listen!). The host always asks how I got into teaching/coaching.
The first friend I made out here after moving to CA from OH-IO is named Cherie. We worked together waiting tables at a few restaurants. She is as passionate about exercise as I am. She’s also an instructor.
After seeing how much I loved taking her classes, she said to me- Pam, you should take this 18 week course at Ohlone College on how to be a group exercise instructor.
That one sentence did it. I did indeed take that course which was amazing- it taught me how to count to music, how to lead a warm up, how the flow of a class should go, how to cool down, do’s and don’ts of classes and so much more.
Had she not told me to go do that, I’m not sure what I would be doing. It’s so clear that fitness has always been my passion.
From growing up with 2 older brothers who had to babysit me int he 70’s which lead to football, baseball, chicken, tag etc and a dad that was a runner before it was cool. Movement has always been a big part of my life.
With what Cherie told me to do, it sealed the deal for me. It’s what I’m supposed to be doing and what I LOVE LOVE LOVE to do so much!
Did one sentence change your life?
