WHEN A TRAINER IS MORE THAN A WORD!

Hey y'all...so many of you have been following me as I blog. On this weight loss journey it is not just about me, but the people that inspire me as well. I dedicated one blog to my girl Nicole who lost over 160 pounds to reach her goal. Well tonight’s blog is dedicated to my trainer…The World’s Greatest Weight Loss Expert..The Kenya Crooks - www.thekenyacrooks.com.

So I know there are many people that have trainers that they work out with, but “Is your trainer more than the word implies?” Well I can say unequivocally, that Kenya Crooks is more than just a trainer.  Now let me give you some background knowledge on my relationship with Kenya. I have been working with Kenya since May of 2010. There are times when we have agreed, disagreed, laughed, cried, and just plain got on each other’s nerves. Now with that being said, Kenya has not only changed my life, but many lives across this country….yes he has clients in other states that work out with us also.

To me and many others, Kenya is more than a trainer….Kenya is a motivator, prayer warrior, comforter, provider, leader, teacher, inspirer, supporter, trailblazer, God sent, even a comedian at times. When we leave Kenya’s workouts our relationship with him doesn’t end. He immediately uses the best communication tool (Facebook) out there to become a sounding board for many of us. He congratulates us on our successes; he listens to our issues that are holding us back from being the people God wants us to be.  He keeps track of our eating habits, workout habits even when we are not with him. I think the picture phone was invented just for Kenya…we have to take pictures of our meals, scales, workout display and send it to him…it is called ACCOUNTABILITY. 

I know without a fact that I would not be 85lbs lighter today had it not been for Kenya being more than just a TRAINER. I know this because I’ve had a trainer before and he didn’t have half the enthusiasm and zeal about MY weight loss as Kenya does and ultimately I quit. Anyone can sit there and bark out workout routines and jog around the block with you, but are they just as passionate about your weight loss as you are and do they take it personal if you don’t succeed. Well Kenya does take it personal…and that you know he is vested just as much as you are in making it to the ultimate goal.  Finally, the thing I love the most about Kenya Crooks is that I know without a fact that it is not about the money I pay him each month, but about helping me be the healthy person God intended me to be.  For that Mr. Crooks…I say thank you.
