Judit's Introduction

Hi Everyone,


My name is Judit Rago and I am a bit of a late comer to the PTSA.


I am Hungarian and came to England 10 years ago. 6 years ago I met Mark who is my fiance and my business partner too.

We have a small personal training business which we run from a gym where we pay rent in Greenwich.



I remember back then when I came to England I was really fit because I was 21 and because I grew up living a busy life that came with growing up in the country side.I didn't really know much about diet as such and didn't really know much about exercising either.


So I arrived to the big city and I started to adjust to the life everyone was living.

I ate what was sold cheaply in big supermarkets and used public transport and cars to go everywhere.I gained 3 stone in 6 months and developed severe acne.

I was forced to realised that something was really wrong. I was not eating more quantity than before and my body was still turning into this blob.



I had to sort myself out somehow.I did some research about food and I realised what sort of food I had been eating. From then on I refused to eat anything that was packaged and ate only food that was whole and unprocessed.

I also started to do some exercise and got really into running. The more I did it the more I enjoyed it.

I met Mark a few years back.He was really into his sport(rugby) and gym training and I started to do weight training with him.

He was already a trainer when we decided that I should qualify too and see if we could work together.

After qualifying at Premier as a pt and sport massage therapist I wanted to see how it is to work on my own first and try to build a business.I worked at the local Fitness First and after 6 months I was fully booked.

Today we've been working together for two years and our business is really busy. In fact so busy that we both started to burn out.

We leave to work at 630 in the morning and most nights don't get home 'till 10.

But because we have been so busy we had no time to do things that would get us out of the situation.

I had to use a little force to get Mark onto this programme as he is a bit scared to come out of his own little bubble but I know he'll be glad once the hard work is done.


I hope after doing Dax's PTSA we will be able to cut back on our hours and will be able to make moves that will get us into a position where we will hire other trainers and open our own place.


Hope to talk to you all soon...


Judit
