The past year has presented many challenges for everyone. The consistent and constant pivot to a new norm has been hard on all of us. We know firsthand how critical physical activity is for everyone’s health and wellness and thought it would be uplifting to share lessons that some of our team members have taken away from the COVID-19 pandemic. You are not alone, together we are stronger and knowing that someone else experienced the same or similar feelings might just be what we need to help us through these last few months. Vaccinations bring a light at the end of a very long tunnel, not necessarily an end, but a light. We are almost there everyone, we can do it!
Dianna West:
I learned that I identified as my job. To me, being busy with work equates success. When online clients didn't start to pour in and the gyms didn't open back up after 2 weeks I was asked "Are you going to get another job?" and I panicked. Who am I if not Dianna the Fitness Trainer and Instructor? I could not figure this out on my own. My husband didn't have the answer and I learned, after finding the courage to ask, that many of my friends and family didn't have the answer either. Although, hearing that I am many things to different people felt great.
Therapy! It's for every person. I'll say it again - THERAPY! It has been the best investment I've ever made. I am Dianna. I like helping other people live their best lives. I love to take care of my family and myself. Life has peaks and valleys and after walking both of those (IRL and metaphorically) I can see how beautiful they are.
