{Guest Post}- Working With A Trainer? Here's What You Need To Know

​January 2022 is a huge for fitness. Lots of people are looking to achieve new goals, revisit past goals, and take action on goals for the now. And for some, you may consider employing someone to help you achieve those goals.

This week I have a guest post from a friend of mine, Kyle Harper. Kyle is Personal Trainer and Program Director of a Parisi Speed School down in Texas. He so graciously sent me this amazing article to share with you all on what to expect when you start working with a Personal Trainer for the first time.

With that, I am going to let Kyle take it over from here!

{Guest Post}- 5 Tips For Time-Crunched Lifters

“We all have the same 24 hours in the day.” I never really understood the absurdity of this statement until I started my own business and became a dad.

{Guest Post}- Life Lessons Powerlifting Has Taught Me

I've got my third, and probably final week of paternity leave covered by a gentleman that I used to Coach!

Total full-circle moment here. Love it.

Chaz Maclay is a native of northern Vermont. He's an Exercise Science major at Northern Vermont University (nerd alert) and a savage of a human being competitive powerlifter with multiple state, regional, universe, national records.

As his once-upon-a-time Coach, I take full credit.

Kidding, kidding.

But really, Chaz has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is now, has earned his success, and I am honored (and thankful) that he reached out with an awesome guest post for us all this week.

Thanks Chaz!

I am super excited to have another awesome gust article from a Coach I've worked alongside for half a dozen years in my previous position.

Dustin wrote a nice intro for himself so I don't have to do too much jibber-jabber right here. I throughly enjoyed reading Coach's post and I am incredibly thankful he reached out to help for the paternity-leave cause. Coach, I look forward to repaying the favor!
