A new chapter

Since opening the gym we have started a new chapter in our lives with new faces and interesting daily adventures. We have an awesome group of people here from a 6' something giant power lifter, to a 5' bikini competitor, to just a normal guy looking to get in shape. It's like we're a band of misfits held together by the simple bond of faith and the iron. I love my crew and the way everyone supports one another. The best way to describe it is my family (my wife and three kids) has now grown to consist of almost 15 or so of us. Life is good and it keeps getting better. It is hard at times trying to stay true to my faith and keep all this going at times, but I manage. As many of our crew come to me for advice and guidance it would be easy to spit out something random but I pray about all their concerns and worries and allow God to intervene and guide me. I love the fact that my Lord is a part of this place. I walk through the doors and I can feel His presence here. Each day I pray and ask Him to be a part of this gym and the lives that we are able to touch and i feel blessed that He listens. I have to give some HUGE props to my wife. Michelle is who keeps this place going by doing all the behind the scenes work like phone calls, bills, scheduling, contacts and such. All I do is train my clients, toss in my two cents on things she needs help with, help get our name out there, a little bit of cleaning, and be the face of this place. Without her it would all fall apart and I am thankful to have her here. Ok, I'll post up more regularly to let everyone know how life here at Metroflex  is going. I am still a christian, a husband, a father, a student, and a bodybuilder. I will keep writing about each of those areas....stay tuned.
