#361-Walk The Talk: A Shift In Priorities
How are you prioritizing all you have on your plate? I give you my take in this week's episode as well as an update on the future of Revolutionary You.
In the final episode of our recent client spotlight series, I get to welcome one of the strongest ladies in our gym: Samantha Parks. You may recognize the last name as her father, Ned, was a guest on the show last year and we have the honor of not only training both of them but mother/wife, respectively, Brenda as well. We touch on all of that and much more in this episode. Sammy talks about events in her life that led to her starting here, how she approached her strength training and weight loss success and where the journey is taking her next.
In the 3rd part of our 4-part client spotlights, I'm joined this week by one of the strongest fellas at RevFit: Ken Klika. His story has inspired me since he started here over 5 years ago and it's been a honor to work with he and his wife, Jen. Tune in to hear what led Ken to us, how he defines strength for himself and what continues to inspire the work he does.
In our next client spotlight, I welcome Stephanie Duffy onto the show. We talk about the events that led to her starting at RevFit, the changes she made in her life to see weight loss success, how she sees her journey in strength training and what goals she has set for herself next.
It was time to take a small detour in our regular programming and get some of our RevFit family on to the show for another series of client spotlights. This week, I welcome Amy McNair who some may recognize as her husband, Don, was on the show last year. Amy's story is extremely inspiring and very unique from the motivations that got her here and what's changed along the way that has led to her current weight loss success of 55 pounds.
