The mad scientist
My gym isn't just that, it's the lab where I work on myself. So I'm part mad scientist, part monster. Haha. This is why I believe that trainers should be in shape themselves. We should be testing material out on ourselves, thinking, and growing in the gym right along with clients.
A lot of programs look good on paper but actually doing them shows how they often need to be tweaked. If you don't do them, how could you recommend them to clients? When I recommend something to clients it's because I've done it personally and I know it works. Clients can be confident that they're getting a safe and effective program that I can tweak to suit their needs. And there are a ton of programs out there. Pick smart!

Nice little circuit

Back to circuits
I want to get a better gasp of my programming for class so I'm going to do 20-30 minute circuits for a while. Had fun with this one today:
5 pullups

Recent class pics
These were taken a while back and show a typical class at Formosa Fitness. I'm proud to offer a fitness altenative in Taipei. Anyone tired of running like rats on treadmills, freezing air conditioning in a place where you're supposed to sweating, ear-splitting music, pimple-faced "trainers," and "sign up now for $100 off, but this deal ends today" nonsense should check us out.

小葉子,小葉子的由來
坐在車上,一路搖晃著
突然聽到一句話: 小葉子~小葉子…小…葉…子~~~~~
