Professional Grade

Have you counted your blessings lately?

If you are anything like me you probably find you don’t do it nearly as much as you could, and should.

Sure, we all have challenges that we face on a daily basis, and it would be trite not recognize that fact.

But I dare say for most reading this note, if you really sit down and think about it, the blessings far outweigh the things that weigh us down if we let them.

Here’s one for you – If you trained with us on Tuesday aren’t you glad you could walk out of the gym?

Just sayin’…  🙂

Anyway today I was reflecting on how grateful I am for the coaches we have at Get Fit NH.

They are Professional Grade, as coaches and as people.

Like in many industries there is an ongoing debate in the fitness industry when it comes to building a team.

Do you hire for skill or for passion?

Do you hire the training genius with the personality of a brick or do you hire the people person who doesn’t know their IT band from their scapula?

I am grateful that is not a problem at Get Fit NH, because the coaching team here truly is second to none.

Each member of the team brings not only passion for helping people be the best they can be, but the skill to assess and evaluate how our clients are moving and what special attention might be needed to help them get just a little better that day.

There is a lot more to successfully training clients than getting up in front of a room and cheerleading or throwing together a mish-mash of exercises and calling it cross training.

I am grateful that our coaches get that, and that each one of them works hard to hone their craft and get better, day by day.

In the past few months:

Coach Erin earned her Functional Movement Screen credential, which has allowed her to further understand human movement and apply corrective techniques to her training arsenal. She has taken on the lead role in Athletic Revolution, and I look forward to seeing that program grow. Erin has been an integral part of Get Fit NH’s success in Concord with her enthusiasm, hard work, and willingness to go the extra mile.

Coach CJ had the opportunity to spend some time with Dr. Charlie Weingroff as he traveled to NY and studied how to bridge the gap between the rehabilitation and training landscapes. CJ’s work with Dr. Brett Coapland has been a real bonus and I am grateful to learn from both these pros and watch our clients benefit as well. CJ’s quiet demeanor belies a ferocious competitiveness and desire to excel.

Morgan Parker is recently graduated from Colby Sawyer with her degree in exercise science and has been a great addition as she interns with us this summer. I have greatly appreciated Morgan’s willingness to learn and never leaving without asking “Is there anything else you need me to do before I go?” I have enjoyed seeing Morgan’s skill (and loud voice) grow as the summer has progressed.

What can I say about Coach Nancy? She has not been named “Best of the Best” Fitness Instructor two years in a row for nothing. In the past year we have had the opportunity to travel to numerous seminars and events and it is not an overstatement to say she is one of the best in the business. Her ability to lead, motivate and inspire is equaled only be her knowledge of how the body works and how to coach to make yours work better. Nancy’s practical knowledge of how to bring healthy meals to the table in a crazy busy world has proven invaluable to our bootcamp families and our own. Me without Nancy is like the sky without the sun – not very bright!

I am also grateful for each client that has walked through our doors, past and present. Get Fit NH doesn’t exist without you, and that is never taken for granted. You inspire all of our your coaches to want to get better, to dig deeper, and continue to work hard to help you reach your goals.

Thank-you for choosing to train with us!

Coach Dean
