As a Beaufort Personal Trainer, I am proud to announce that I have been chosen as a contestant on Fit Or Flop, to be considered the Next Best Fitness Star! The season premier is this Wednesday the 23rd of January. I am really excited to see how the taping turned out. I have a feeling that I looked pale and run down from jet lag and fighting off a cold, but it was totally worth the trip. Pretty soon you will see if I got a Fit or a Flop to advance towards America’s top personal trainer. I am happy to represent personal training Beaufort and if you have not heard about us, you can see what we are all about when go to our page that explains more about EarthFIT and Beaufort Personal Training.
Many people don’t know how EarthFIT came about and how and when I decided to become a personal trainer in Beaufort. It’s a long story but basically I had a friend who was a personal trainer in Beaufort SC and he knew that I was running personal training departments for large corporate gyms in NYC and was doing really well at building the departments which included hiring, training, leading educating personal trainers and many other things in between. He knew that I was thinking about starting my own business and begged me to come down to SC to help out his Beaufort personal training business but at the time I was loving my job and had been promoted 4 times in 2 years and was being prepped as a regional manager. So I had to decline his offer. I continued working in NYC as a personal training manager putting in about 13- 14 hour days and training for an intense race called the Men’s Health Urbanathalon.
Eventually I got run down and burned out. Long story short, my friend called me up again and said, there is a fitness facility in a beautiful location here and no one is running it. Why don’t you just come down for a weekend and check it out. You can start your own business at that location and if all goes well we will start building other Beaufort personal training locations together. I said to myself, “what do I have to lose, I am burnt out and run down, it won’t hurt to check it out.” It was one of the coldest winters we had in NYC in a long, long time, so I was happy to go south for a reprieve. I flew down to South Carolina for the weekend saw the Habersham location which was named Utterly Fit at the time and it had a big cow on the front, haha! I kept the sign somewhere, I wish I still had it.
But I digress. So it was also 80 degrees here in Beaufort, SC and 30 degrees in NYC so I decided right then and there that it was time to start my own personal training business in a beautiful town called Beaufort in an even more beautiful village called Habersham.
We also wanted to officially launch our Back Pain Relief4LIfe program
