One of my favorite quotes comes from Frank A. Clark, “If you can find a path without any obstacles it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”

Each athlete in our community has dealt with and overcome an obstacle once or twice in their life. We may not understand why we are facing them at the time, but I believe everything happens for a reason. We all have our reasons for why we love fitness and why it continues to drive us. As I sit here 10 months in remission from cancer I can’t help but be grateful for the tools my time in the fitness community has given me.

It’s quite ironic that the toughest obstacles seem to lead you to the greatest rewards. It may take longer than you anticipate, but at the end of it all I can promise that you will have a better understanding of yourself and what you want out of life. Being in this community has helped drive me in ways I never would have imagined.

Whether you are a veteran of our community or just getting your first taste of fitness, I hope you can embrace the challenges that are bound to come your way. Each day movements will become more fluid, your confidence will grow and will waiting for next opportunity to show your newest challenge what’s up!

We all have our reasons for why we chose fitness, as you continue to train hard let the next challenge that comes your way be a much needed reminder that you are going places.
