I hold myself accountable for both my professional life in the fitness world as well as the results I want for my own health and fitness. Just as in the corporate world, with fitness, results don%u2019t happen overnight. Through consistent efforts, focus and determination I%u2019ve been able to see the results from my hard work pay off- which to me, serves as an even greater source of motivation! MFM: What have you learned from your clients that has changed anything about the way you think or personal approach to fitness?JJ: My clients serve as a constant source of motivation for me. Day in, day out, reading their emails, seeing their progress pictures and helping them become a healthier, more fit and confident version of themselves along the way. I truly feel privileged to be able to work so closely with them on their health and fitness and I take my position as their trainer, coach, mentor, etc., very seriously as I know I have a tremendous opportunity to help teach them the steps to living a healthy, balanced lifestyle with a sustainable approach to fitness. Working with them every step of the way, whether it is teaching them the fundamentals of healthy eating, how to make their workouts more fun, or offering insight on how to balance a personal/social/work/family life with their newfound fitness lifestyle, always motivates and inspires me to constantly strive to be my best me. Reading their emails and the positive impact that working with me on their fitness has had on all aspects of their lives is truly motivating. Their results serve as a constant reminder to look for results everywherenot just the scale or the mirror as some trainers want their clients to, but the progress and change in mindset, confidence, attitude, achieving goals outside of fitness and more. My clients may not realize it, but each and every day they help push me to be my best me. >>>
