Why We Love Our Clients 2021 Edition

“Rufff!”

“98…99…100!”

Live for the “why not” not the “what if”

Do you hurt everywhere, every time?

Everyone’s doin’ it

You are a steel beam holding up a building

I’m a decrepit Barbie

My core is paralyzed. In tetany or whatever.

Trainer: "How are you feeling today?" Client: "Like someone beat me with a stick."

I want “Im”personal training

COVID - 19 and the IF Bunker

• The Governor

• #WeMadeIt

• Bunker Boss

• The crazy “garage sale” online

• What about those workouts!

Never lazy... but I may be tired.

Your definition of fun is different from mine!

That was the only part of my body that was happy... my head!

Craigisms…

Oh, you mean the fun one!

Chick-fil-a breakfasts

Working out in scrubs!

I love snacks.

I feel like I shouldn’t be shaking. Well I don’t like it.

I love the floors at IF. When you’re new, the floors mean a lot. I know I don’t like wood floors and I don’t like carpet floors.

I didn’t eat dinner. I didn’t want to chew - it was too much work.

My insurance won’t let me leave the building until Jerry does.

Josh wants to come see my basement

TSOB: Turtle Stuck On Back

Gangly Velociraptor

Kettlebells make my nose run

Henry, Georgie, Rufus, and the one who started it all… Buster (RIP, Buster)

Notes left on the counter for us

He Man Club

Curls for the Girls

Trainer: what did you do this weekend? Client: "I’m really sore." Trainer: "Why? Client: "I carried a 4’ high concrete Buddha."

The cafeteria has something called Cinderella Chicken. I can’t eat anything with a princess on it.

6 each side to make 32, right

Do you have 1 left shoe?

Sloth

• Sloth yoga calendar

But that makes it harder

I like the old battery better in your scale!

Dang, I just screwed myself over. I did 5 extra reps

I only breathe when I have to

She’s trying to kill me

Oh good, I get to lay down now

Is ham good for anything?

I’m paying you now in case I decide not to come

I’m actually thirsty, what’s wrong with me?

Oh thank you God, you are not making me do pushups

Just so you know, my glutes are barking

I’m only paying for 2 sets

Is it supposed to burn?

Can I just stay down here on the floor?

I can actually hear your eyes rolling in your voice

The foam roller never lies!

I never should have shot my trainer.

Alligator Arms

Client sitting and waiting in the chair. “You can do some cardio while you wait!” Client… “I know.” Still. Sitting.

Client, “I think it’s my liver.” Me, “Where’s your liver?”. Client, “I don’t know.”

I don’t consider chocolate junk food. I consider it fun food.

When I grunted I realized I wasn’t breathing

Letting us live vicariously through your travels

Cursing at us (almost!)…. Sugar!

Donut Saturday

Running your first 5K!!! Then running through the finish line, to your car, and off to deliver a baby?!?

Disco Saturday

Only missing a workout when you are sick or on vacation – for over a decade! (Now two decades!)

I now regularly find myself tightening my glutes and abs during a run. I didn’t even know I had them before, much less how to control them.

The “Foam” roller

Finally becoming a “Real Client”

There is no finish line.

Spreadsheets for fruits & veggies

The 100 Challenge – twice

“Rotation – Rotation is key.”

I’ll do whatever you say

Crazy cat ladies

You can whine if I can roll my eyes

Stretching…

• My favorite part

• I hate this part

• Thinking I took your leg off because your keys popped!

• Oh no, I think I’m going to pass out!

Dedication is…

• 5:00 am

• 4 workouts a week

• 21 years and counting

• Coming straight to a workout after a 24 hour shift

Just “tweaking” things a little

“Honey, I’m home!”

Missy!, Little S*!t, Hannah Banana & JoJo, Special K, Professor, Boss

In your 70’s and still rockin’ (Now in your 80’s and still going strong!)

Goals:

• “I don’t want to be like my mother.”

• To stand on my head & make O-H-I-O with my legs

• Be Awesome!

• Stay Alive

“All my bad habits stem from my husband.”

Still 2 feet away from touching my toes

Workout, spin, zumba, bootcamp, rest & repeat

Not crossing midline of your body… yet

Hostile takeovers

Cutting out sugar & doing a 180 with your diet

How’s your water intake been?

“Tuck that chin!”

Mother/Daughter bribes for the Hunger Games

A successful squat

Running several half marathons while one year ago you thought a 5k was hard

“The burn” of your first lateral walks

Fighting the war against Sarcopenia

Going all in on incentives…and needing some bandaids because of it

And my favorite words as you are leaving… “I feel so much better!”
