Just a warning -  I am about to go off on a rant. 

 Those of you who know me personally may be a bit surprised by this post. 

You see, my parents raised me to always try and be polite as possible and to deflect any type of confrontation.  I hate seeing people do anything but smile and be happy…and I especially hate to disappoint people. 

I think I got mixed up somewhere though between being completely honest with people and being too “polite”.  My “polite” side has caused me to FAIL some of you who workout, when in reality you need a good swift boot in the ass and to be told “Suck It Up!”

I will be the first to admit I failed some of you and will never allow that to happen again.  I would much rather risk someone leaving rather because I pushed them than knowing I may have not given everything in my power to change a life and instilling a positive, healthy lifestyle.  I mean, we all workout to get good results and feel good, right?  So, if we are making the effort to go to the gym, then why wouldn’t we want to work hard?

My first bit of complete honesty is that getting in great shape is not easy!  You have to work your ass off for it and responsibility needs to be taken.  I will work myself to the bone to HELP you get where you need to be, but you must be the one to follow through when I am not around.

So work hard, keep a positive attitude and kick some ass!Greg Carbone, CSCS, CPT, YFS
