Power & Fitness Blog

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT MY PERSONAL TRAINER, NASIR GUEST IS DEFINITELY THEE BEST PT ON THIS SIDE OF THE PLANET! WHEN I FIRST JOINED POWER & FITNESS IN 2011, NO ONE COULD HAVE TOLD ME I WOULD BE LINKED UP WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER. HONESTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I FIGURED I WOULD JUST DO A LITTLE WALKING ON THE TREADMILL AND BS AROUND WITH THE OTHER EQUIPMENT.  
UPON MY FIRST MEETING WITH NASIR, NOT ONLY WAS I IMPRESSED WITH HIS PROFESSIONALISM AS A TRAINER, BUT HE HAD ME TOTALLY MOTIVATED AND ANXIOUS TO BEGIN AN EXERCISE REGIMEN! HIS WINNING PERSONALITY, EXPERTISE AS A TRAINER AND COMPASSIONATE NATURE CONVINCED ME THAT I SHOULD GIVE THE PERSONAL TRAINING A SHOT.  
 
WHEN I INITIALLY BEGAN TRAINING WITH NASIR, I WAS 220 LBS. AFTER GOING OVER SOME ALARMING DETAILS CONCERNING MY HEALTH, I KNEW I NEEDED TO HEED TO HIS DIRECTION. AND I DID JUST THAT. LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY IT WASN'T EASY! THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I WANTED TO QUIT, BUT NASIR STAYED ON MY CASE AND WOULD NOT LET ME GIVE UP. I WAS EVEN GOING THROUGH SOME PERSONAL THINGS AND HE REMAINED SUPPORTIVE AND REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO FORGO MY TRAINING. WHILE WORKING ON MY MASTERS, I REMEMBER CALLING HIM ONE MORNING ALMOST IN TEARS AND TOLD HIM THAT I JUST COULDN'T DO IT. AT THAT TIME, I FELT I NEEDED TO QUIT OR AT LEAST POSTPONE MY MEMBERSHIP. NASIR'S RESPONSE WAS A FIRM & DEFINITE "NO". HE TOLD ME THAT MY HEALTH WAS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MY EDUCATION AND THAT I NEEDED TO MANAGE MY TIME MORE WISELY AND NOT GIVE UP! WELL, MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT WAS..."WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?...HE'S NOT THE BOSS OF ME!" TURNS OUT, HE WAS...I CONTINUED TRAINING WITHOUT A GLITCH AND THE END RESULT WAS A 25 LB WEIGHT LOSS!!! YAY ME!! I AM NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR GOOD HEALTH & PERSONAL FITNESS!! NASIR, I AM ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR GUIDANCE, PERSUASION AND POSITIVE INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE!! KUDOS TO MY GOOD FRIEND AND PERSONAL TRAINER NASIR GUEST!!!
