You are not meant to crawl

One week ago was first Friday and Boonton Main Street did a nice job organizing and promoting a community building event where participating business’ would offer a trinket that I guess in some way would represent what they do. I ended up running out of the trinkets (I bought all the ones that were in the store) and gave out some nails that I had bent in training.

But nails that I bent in my hands don’t truly represent what I do.

The trinket that I gave out was a butterfly. Might seem strange that a no frills personal training gym conveniently located on Main Street in Boonton run by a world record holding modern day strength performer would have a butterfly as a representation of what I do.

But butterfly’s have long been a symbol of transformation. That’s what I do. I transform people from their current state to what they are supposed to be. A stronger, leaner, fitter, more agile, more confident person.

A caterpillar may only be able to move slowly up a tree branch wondering what it could do. That’s its current state, but that’s not what it’s supposed to be, at least not forever. Its supposed to be a beautiful butterfly. Its purpose is to spread its wings and fly.

We aren’t supposed to witness life from the sidelines wishing we could be more. We’re supposed to live life on our own terms, free from the shackles of not being physically capable. We are meant to fly.

If you want to find out what you’re capable of, if you want to be stronger, leaner, fitter, more agile and more confident. If you want to be the one you’re supposed to be, but don’t know how, I have a free trial so you can see if it’s for you. Just text me at 973 476 5328 and introduce yourself to get started. Easy right?
