"Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe." - Sumner Redstone

It's been a while since I talked about my training at Jo Dumont Fitness Training  (http://www.jodumontfitnesstraining.com/).  I started with Jo on July 7, 2010, and have been I think a pretty consistent feature in the gym since then.

My Monday includes a personal training session with Jo and let me tell you, she is worth every penny and to be truthful, it's not even that many pennies for what you get out of the workout.  For that hour, you get Jo Dumont's undivided attention in a private space. The workouts are harder, and she is more demanding about how you do the exercises.  For me, however, it's not just about the exercise, it's about having that one on one support and sometimes, even that one on one laughing that comes with finding out just how uncoordinated I am! 

I have also continued to attend circuit classes, hard core classes, running classes and most recently, a flex class which featured cardio kick-boxing.  Completely different from the kick-boxing style that I am used to, cardio kick-boxing also provides a mental workout which tells me that at 37 years old I still don't know my left from my right.

What is never missing from my gym experience, is the feeling of community that you get when you walk in the door.  Everyone you meet is welcoming and ready to help. There are people in the gym that I feel like I've known forever, even if it's only been 70 days.

You should come and check out JDFT, you'll be glad that you did.
