Hey Serena!
I don't want to stir anything up but I left my jacket at the gym and it was hung up on the rack. I went to grab it and it wasn't there. I was told by someone that they saw a heavy Hispanic woman leave one day with her daughter and on her way out she pulled down 3 jackets (one being mine). I was told there have been issues with this woman and wondered if you knew who she was. Just wanted to let you know there is someone doing that. How sad.
Thanks for telling us. There is probably confusion because that is the lost and found.
Ok. Someone saw her: she's Hispanic and a 2X. My jacket is an XS. Lol. She probably wasn't confused. Her daughter is my size, I'm told. :).

Good Riddance to Tat!
After I said no to Tat about a loan and a salary, he found someone who said yes. I found out he quit when his former clients started getting these emails...
Dear Friends & Clients,
I apologize for this short notice. After weeks of negotiations and several interviews, I was contacted by the New Fitness Corporate Office last week. I was notified that I had been selected to take over the Personal Training responsibilities for 3 local New Fitness Gyms. I am returning to 10 hour days. I'm back on top of my game 110% & focused!!!
It will be exciting and challenging working in a growth-oriented organization which offers diverse job responsibility and with the potential for advancement. I'm starting out with the PT responsibilities of 3 fitness centers, with the potential to expand my regional territory over a period of time. There are over 1600 New Fitness Facilities across the United States, as well as around the globe.
These facilities are run like a fine tuned well oiled machines, using their EzFacility Training Software. There's 100% accountability. All facilities have state of the art equipment. The facilities are kept immaculately clean. The gym temperature is kept at a very cool 70*, with 10 ceiling fans. This makes for a very comfortable training environment. If you weren't training it would almost be to cold.
After lengthy negotiations we've reached an agreement:
All clients schedules will remain the same.
I'm being allowed a certain number of make up sessions, so it does not cause you any inconvenience. Please keep in mind this is a corporate facility with 100% accountability. It is very difficult to negotiate with a corporate company, because of their auditing system. I have done so to an extent. They're willing to accommodate my clients for their inconvenience with a cap (WITHIN REASON). Keep in mind that I do not own these gyms and my hands are tied.
Memberships are normally $39.95 per month with a minimum of a 1 year contract. An exception to the rule has been made. All my clients will be offered a discount membership of $24.95 on a month to month basis with NO CONTRACT! Once again this was not an easy task in a corporate environment. Remember by joining New Fitness you automatically become a member to all of their fitness facilities worldwide, with no extra cost. For those of you who's careers call for traveling and/or vacationing you will always have a gym nearby.
There's also a $20 key fob charge. You will need this key to access the gyms of your choice.
All memberships include: Certified Les Mills, Kickboxing, Bodyflow & Body Combat Classes.
I've also been given full access to the Mixed Martial Arts Studio located right next to the gym. (When no classes are scheduled)
Any Clients that decide to become members of New Fitness will be given a 10% discount at the Mixed Martial Arts Classes, which include Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Cardio Kickboxing, MMA Striking, Yoga & Youth Programs and a one week free trial period for the class of your choice. These youth classes are held Monday and Wednesday from 4:45 to 5:30pm. Please see the website and look for the Juniors BJJ GI. Classes are for ages 7 yrs. & Up. This would be a great opportunity to introduce your children to an exciting and rewarding fitness environment.
Tanning will also be added at a discounted price for those interested.
Once again, We will work towards making this transition as smooth as possible.
New Fitness has agreed to give “ANYONE” with 3 months or more left on their membership contracts, 3 months free on their new 1 year membership to New Fitness. Of course, this does not affect those that are on a month to month at their current gym. This is being offered to those that may be locked into a current contract.
Several of you are up for renewal and/or have payments left on your current training contracts with me. Resume your schedule as always and bring your payment with you to New Fitness. Once again, We are working to make this transition as smooth as possible.
Several of you have asked me about children/family add ons, this also will be offered to my clients at a discounted rate. Children age 12 are allowed on the floor as long as they are accompanied by a parent and are well behaved.
I've been recently advised of the new higher PT rates, as seen in my last e-mail. Under the current economic status of the country, I don't not believe this is in the best interest of my clients. I will be keeping Personal Training Rates set by me over 3 years ago. This has also been approved by the Corporate Office. During a recession is not the time to raise rates. It may look good on paper, but it's not practical.
I look forward to working with you at this new location. I believe that you will be extremely satisfied with your new accommodations. I tested all of the equipment Saturday, it was a blast! I think that you will be impressed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. After three years in a position that did not look promising & being pushed backwards, I could not pass on this wonderful new career opportunity, with room for advancement! Remember nothing has changed, except for the location. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.
I look forward to seeing you at our new training facility. Please try to come in a few minutes early to take care of minor paperwork. Personnel will be on hand to help expedite the whole process.
Please understand that if your contract is well beyond the expiration date, I can not pick up and honor where we left off.
Please see my attached new updated BIO.

I'm Too Old For This Shit
Swear Jar.
What?
You said a bad word. Serena, I heard you in the closet... you said the s word. $1... swear jar. What were doing in the closet anyway?
My closet thoughts: I can barely fit in this closet. How did two people fit in this closet? 3 if you include Hazel. I'm going to kill someone... I really don't look good in orange.... I wonder if they allow "wellness" visits in place of congugal visits for my Botox treatments... Is it happy hour yet?
Maybe if you wouldn't have spent your $ on your ho...
Serena, I've been thinking and I really need a salary.
Tat, you are a personal trainer, specifically "your company" is paid on revenue that you produce. It's not really the gym's fault that you lost all your clients.
But I'm back with my wife now and just need some help. I'm not messing around with Triple D. My family won't survive this month on my check that I just got.
You're a grown man, figure it out. I'm not a bank.
But my family!
Stop! You weren't thinking about your family when you were blowing all your $ and having fun with Triple D. This falls into the category of NOT MY PROBLEM.
So that's a no on a salary and a loan?

NOT Celebrity Junk
I've had several complaints about this exposure. What do I say??
"Dude, nobody wants to see your junk, wear longer shorts" or something more casual like "Do you feel a breeze?" with a subtle glance downward.
I'm going home.
