new contacts!

In the past few months I have been contacting a lot of cool people in the fitness industry. My go to resource from the beginning had been Linda, but she was mainly the one who introduced me to the idea of becoming an instructor and I needed more people to help me along with the process. Because of this, I've contacted a variety of different people, which has actually been a cool learning experience. (Surprise, surprise! My Keystone project is helping me with everyday life.)

In December I saw my absolute favorite fitness kickbox instructor, Colin Turek, who had recently moved an hour north and now was only teaching, if we were lucky, once a month. He was sitting down in the lobby of our gym on his phone. I really wanted to introduce myself and say how much I enjoyed his classes, and let him know who I was, but I was incredibly nervous. I paced a couple times by him shyly, still a little worried, I pretended to watch the sports game on the TV in front of him until I'm pretty sure he was sufficiently creeped out and convinced I was wacko. At that point, I went over and introduced myself. I told him that I was in the process of becoming a fitness kickboxing instructor and we chatted for a few minutes. As I was leaving,  he said if I needed any help, I could contact him. Thrilled and excited I was a little surprised by how nice and friendly he was.
