Heavy Lifters Cup Winner

Speaking of promotions and all-around great performace, my brother recently won the Heavy Lifters Cup at 24 Hour Fitness. His club hit over $120,000 in training revenue - something it had never done and the top number in his entire division.

Now if this was all he had done, it would be impressive enough, but it is far from the only accomplishment he has had at 24 Hour Fitness. He has consistently been the #1 or #2 Fitness Manager in the nation the past couple of years and now, if you look at the roster of top Fitness Managers in the country, several of them have been trained by Steve. And if you look at the top individual Trainers in the company, several of them work for him now.

Amazing. And when I complimented his performance, he said, "I have a team of STUDS!" That's a good coach for you - passing along the praise to his team.

It is really exciting to watch his success. He does something he genuinely loves to do (personal fitness, teaching others, leading others) and it shows in the quality of work he does.

I wonder how many people are as proud of their siblings as I am of my brother? My guess is not many. I hope that my two sons end up loving each other and liking each other as much as my brother and I do.

Promotion

HEY! I got a promotion at work! Woo-hoo! I am honestly very excited. Promotion, a little extra money and I will be doing something that I will enjoy more. I am going to be a manager for our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) group. I remain in the Quality Assurance group, but it will be coordinating the testing we do with our field and business partners. Good stuff.
