Co-worker got me hooked on running and coached me for my first 5K ! (finshed in 35 min.) - after that I joined my local gym and hired a personal trainer who not only got me started on my personal fitness goals, but also motivated me to become a personal trainer myself !

The sheer adrenalin rush! It not only makes me feel great - it also energizes me for my day and helps me tackle professionl/personal life head-on ! I am a much healthier/happier person because of the benefits of a fitness oriented lifestyle.
