Bodyflex Personal Training & Nutrition

Hey everyone, Scott here. I just want to take this opportunity to wish Jesika well on her new adventures in life! We will all miss her but we are happy that she has this chance to follow her dreams. I know she is going to make the most of it. I am grateful that she has entrusted Bodyflex to me and I will do my best to make her proud!

After 15 amazing years of personal training and owning a wonderful business, I'm retiring from personal training. Starting January 1st, my fantastic business and training partner Scott Saegesser will take over and continue to run the studio! I will travel full time and I'll be writing about fitness, food and travel full time. This is something that's been on my Dream To-Do list ever since I was little. When I read my first books about King Arthur, Greek gods, Mexican, Scandi...navian and African mythology, it fired my imagination. I dreamed about going to all the countries where these magical stories took place. I would pore over maps of the world and I promised myself when I was 8 years old I would travel the world or get as close to traveling it as much as I could! In little blanket tents I built in my bedroom I would write my own made up stories inspired by far away places. In my adult life I would travel somewhere every year but I always wished I could stay longer, so I could really get to know and explore the culture, the land, the food and the people. From traveling I learned so much about myself and people. I learned tolerance, perspective and a never ending sense of wonder of how beautiful this world is. In my personal training profession I learned the exact same thing, which I didn't expect. I've trained so many different kinds people from so many different backgrounds that I realized we're all the same. No matter where we come from. I've heard so many stories of inspiration, tragedy and humor so funny that I cried from my clients, I feel like I've almost experienced several different lives. And I feel so incredibly grateful and privileged for the trust they've placed in me, the time I've spent with them and the relationships I've developed with them. I couldn't put this into words to them personally. I know I would start crying and it would be hard for me to stop. ( And I wasn't sure if they had the energy to console me after I gleefully put them through a torturous, sweaty workout for the last hour! ) The lessons I take away from my clients are life changing. Through training my amazing clients I learned what it really meant to have unlimited compassion and empathy. I learned the power of persistence and dreams. And I learned to really appreciate the beauty of the human spirit. To a vibrant and beautiful future for everyone reading this, to my wonderful supportive friends and family, and most of all to Mike and my amazing clients who made all this possible for me. I couldn't have done this without you. XO Jesika
