HELLO TEAM G!!
Just discovered the site moved.
Hey Jen glad you found us! A new direction for certain, but it is good to start fresh. TeamG it is!
I’m ready and I’ve got another girl on board! She’s been working out with me for the last couple weeks and she kicks my butt!!! We have a super busy Fall travel schedule. Will it be too late to start mid-november?
Hey GUY S !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been super super super busy ! Got another marathon in two weeks. I ran 14 miles yesterday, and actually enjoyed it. But I gotta admit , I am missing the figure thing !

Hey Jim, I’ve got a question… which Personal Training certification did you choose to go with and why? I feel like I’m getting nudged in that direction and am just starting to gather information as I continue to pray.
Hi Jen – I chose ISSA as it was nicely geared towards my goals to support natural bodybuilding. I’d recommend it unless you are wanting to be in a health club setting – there they may want you to have a more ‘fitness’ oriented certification like ACE.
ACE sounds pretty basic. I think I’d like to go beyond that. I’ve read a couple things like ISSA is too expensive for what you get back. Would you say that is true? Did you look into NSCA and ACSM?
Hi Jen – I don’t agree ACE is one of the more widely accepted certs among health clubs – definitely ACSM is the cream of the crop but the last time I looked it required a bachelors degree.
ISSA is only expensive upfront, but when all is said and done it is about the same as most certification programs when you include the training material + exam cost. ISSA includes the exam cost and you can take it online from home which I liked.
On the question of what you get back – that is subjective to goals and needs and ISSA is a little light on that although I did get a call from the PT company that Gold’s hired to submit a resume to run Lincoln. They called me because I was on the ISSA CFT list for Lincoln, NE.
All this info. is helpful, thank you! I’d like to make a decision soon and get started studying for it. I think somethings going to happen with Fit 4 Life very soon. Looks like we might be moving to the Chicago area, Brandy first, kids and I at the end of the school year. Not sure what’s gonna happen here, big changes coming, that’s all I know.
Geesh Jen, that’s a shocker…Keep me posted, you have my e-mail and number.
WOW!!
Are you still prepping and planning on Southern States?
i like u and i wana know u
WELL KIDS!!! IT’S TIME FOR ME TO BUCKLE DOWN AND GET SERIOUS. I AM GOING TO HAVE MY TRAINER DO SOME MEASUREMENTS SOON AND THEN GET ROLLING. I AM COMPETING IN JULY AND OCTOBER. BOTH SHOWS ARE LOCAL. I JUST AM NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL YET.

LET ME KNOW WHAT I NEED TO DO NEXT!
XOXO,
