Posted by Anna on January 20th, 2010 The need to find a personal trainer for myself and my daughter was growing. I am thirty six and overweight and have seen my teenage daughter’s weight double over the last few years to where I am sure that she would be considered obese. I do not want that kind of life for her and have decided to check out a personal trainer directory that my friend told me about. I know that neither of us would be comfortable going to a gym at first, so I needed to find a personal trainer that would come to my house and work with us at first.
There were four people on the personal trainer directory that were willing to come to my house after I explained the situation. I had to borrow some money from my credit cards to pay them, but I had to make sure to try out all of them to find the right one that we would both be comfortable with.
After the first three were ruled out by my daughter, I crossed my fingers that the fourth would work and she did. I guess the fact that the other three were males, might have had something to do with it too.
Posted by Anna on December 29th, 2009 I may only need two more players for my Scottsdale adult basketball league team if I can convince my boss and his son to join. I have been telling him all about it and he seems to show a little interest when I do. He told me that his son used to play some basketball in high school but was not good enough to play at the college level. He attended a community college and got a degree in business and works in the next town.
I asked my boss today, if he and his son would like to be part of my team on the Scottsdale basketball league and he told me that he would like it but he would have to check with his son. I asked him to call him that afternoon because if he turned it down, then I had to find someone very quickly since our first practice was scheduled for tomorrow.
My boss sent me an email later that day telling me that his son was defiantly in on the Scottsdale adult basketball league thing. He just needed a schedule of the practices and games so that he could set his schedule around it. The addition of the boss’s son, made me think that we may have the best team on the Scottsdale basketball league this year.
