The “COOL” side of being a fitness instructor-

is YUP, you guessed it-

Teaching the fitness.

The side that some don’t get a chance to see- (one slice of the pie being- the marketing piece)

➡️is the making/designing of the flyers.

➡️the printing (and payment) FOR the 100+ flyers

➡️the making the list of 25 places to drive to at 4:30am that could potentially hang up your flyer

➡️the business’ that turn you down once you’ve approached them to hang up flyer

➡️The getting back into your car and going to the next place, and the next and the next.

➡️And doing it all over again.

In NO way am I complaining of this side of the job, I am trying to shift the lens of “the cool” part of what people may perceive when they see the finished product of an event, or a class- or a meal.

A lot goes into the process- a lot goes on behind the scenes that you (or I) are not aware of-

I mean- this is true with practically every aspect of life-

so why sometimes is it so hard to grasp?

My goal with “fitragamuffin” is to share the process with you-> the ups- the downs, the highs and the in betweens.

I’m thankful I have a safe community to document this all with and to look back on and say, “look how far I’ve come.”
