Hey Ladies,
My name is Nathalie and I recently decided to become a fitness instructor. Looking back it seems obvious that this was the next step for me.
My brother introduced me to the gym when I was a teenager, doing cardio, machines & weights. I remember getting my measurements done at regular intervals and I was always very proud of my progress! But shortly after came along more school, work and who knows what else could have been more important at that time. So like most people I had a gym membership, went for a while and then I would stop going. I would say that it's about 8 years ago that I realized the benefits of exercise, how being active made me feel, not only physically but psychologically. Feeling much more confident made me fall in love with fitness and everything that relates to it (mind, body and soul). I keep doing activities that I love, so it's never an effort to keep doing it on a regular basis.
Depending on my schedule, the season, or my mood I like playing Ultimate Frisbee, participating in fitness & yoga classes, playing golf, skating on the Rideau Canal, biking and running (running two half marathons is probably my biggest fitness accomplishment to date). Promoting exercise and good nutrition is now part of who I am. My personal philosophy on fitness is: it's all about balance. Yes you can have resting days and days where you eat that piece of cake (dessert is my favourite, no surprise there for those of you who know me), as long as you are conscious of your portions and get back into your routine shortly after there is absolutely nothing to worry about. You can have everything in moderation.
I was very fortunate and met great teachers along the way who became mentors for me. They inspired me and believed in me even more then I believed in myself. After doing my four weeks Booty Camp with my friend I decided to become a drill instructor to help others believe in themselves and achieve their goals.
When I am not at work or training you can find me on the roads riding my own Harley Davidson. This is another one of my greatest accomplishments that I realized and I am very proud of! So remember, anything is possible if you really set your mind into it and if you believe in yourself!
Now that you know a little bit about me, I really look forward to getting to know you and share with you even more fitness success stories.
