READY TO PAY IT FORWARD with TURBO

READY TO PAY IT FORWARD with TURBO
The day that I had waited for had FINALLY arrived!  
Since I had started this blog late last fall my goal was to accomplish one thing...become a bonafide, certified TURBO KICK INSTRUCTOR.  So much ended up coming along with it, but my DREAM of being able to Pay it Forward by teaching Turbo Kick to help people increase their fitness and wellness, has been realized.

Carolyn, Michelle and myself EARLY in the AM
before training!

January 30th at Boston College I attended the Turbo Kick Instructor Training.  I was a ball of nerves, but there was no going back.  I can't remember the last time I had wanted something so much (after marrying my best friend, of course!)!!!  To think that I could help others achieve their fitness and wellness goals in a fun and exciting way just got me so PUMPED.

I had a great time!  Embedded in the training was a workshop on Round 38.  The day was long, study sessions, followed by drills, the worshop, more drills, testing and testing.  There were group drills and the individual practical test.  It was work, but SOOOOO worth it!



During the workshop I got to see a few Turbo Friends from Master Classes I had been to before!  It's great to be recognized and remembered.  Joie from Presenter Camp came!  It was great to chat and catch up with her.

CHRISTINE ROCKS! (I have learned SOOO much from this woman)

Michelle, myself and Carolyn after being TURBO-CERTIFIED!! WOOT!!
So much has happened since!  I studied and took my AFAA Primary Group Fitness Certification exam.  That was a totally different experience.  I'm still waiting on the results but should know soon.  

I've also managed to book one-time classes at MIT and Broad (where I work).  It'll be really fun to bring Turbo to the workplace.

I interviewed at Mike's Fitness JP and plan to teach Turbo Kick there...waiting on the word for the Spring Schedule.  If you're in the Boston-area, I'd love to have you as a student!

In the meantime, I'm just practicing my MAD SKILLZ and booking one-time events. 

I am grateful to God everyday for this opportunity to pay it forward.  I hope to continue to grow and learn from this experience and bring hope to people with a goal to be fit and well.  

Till, next time...


KICK IT!!
