The Purpose of BeFitandStrong.com
As a personal fitness coach, the most frustrating thing for me was giving someone the information they needed to succeed and watching them disregard it…week after week, month after month. In the end, I became a glorified babysitter for executives whose bank accounts exceeded their desire to get healthier.
I have a real passion for helping others reach their health and fitness goals. With this website, I can share what I’ve learned (and continue to learn) and people can take what they need. It works for both of us, without the frustration.
I think your videos are fantastic– the best! You explain the proper alignment and the demos are very clear. I wish you taught in the Boston (Mass– USA) area. Who is the woman who demo’s the exercises? I want to be liker her!
Thanks very much. I have a lot more footage to edit, but they take a great deal of time, so stay tuned. I actually did live in the Boston area for a year – Marlborough to be exact. My wife was a software engineer for a company in Maynard.
The lady in the video worked for me when I had my personal training business. At the time of this video, she was 49 years old! She’s in fantastic shape. And she deserves it. She’s very committed to her eating well and working out regularly.
We just couldnt leave your website before saying that we really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors… Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
