E-mail "Testimonial" from one of my clients.

Hi Ruslan,

How's the #1 trainer at Goodlife doing? I've been doing well, getting
the training in....not as many times per week as I would like, but I'm
getting it done, and the nutrition is on track too. But of course it's
not the same. Especially now that I'm "on my own" I want to thank you
for being such a great trainer, and in a way a great lifestyle coach
too. I miss your motivational talks and training expertise - oh and
sense of humor too!! I wanted you to know that you have been a positive
influence in my life, and I thank you for steering me in the right
direction toward a healthier lifestyle.

Ladies and gents, this is why I do what I do for a living! I will keep this persons name anonymous as I didn't really ask if I could feature their e-mail in my blog ;)

It feels great to see people reach their goals and go above and beyond what they once though was impossible. Great Job A.D.

First Annual Ottawa Region Personal Training Seminar and Awards


Two weeks ago I had presented at the First Annual Ottawa Region Personal Training Seminar and Awards event. It was a first one for me and definitely not my last! I had a blast being up on stage and presenting. My main focus of the presentation was steered towards corrective lifting techniques which I 've covered in my latest article “Be Technical.” If you’re not familiar with my article “Be Technical” make sure to download it at www.standapartfitness.com .

Here’s what our Regional Manager had to say about my presentation.

"You did amazing bud. I wasn't surprised at all. I think you have a gift for this and should present at Canfit one day.

You are that talented.

Thank you for presenting!"

I wish I had some photos to share with you from this event, but I was to shy to ask someone to snap a few.


I’ll make sure not to chicken out next time I present.
