Mark`s introduction

Hi

Sorry I'm late.

My name is Mark Lawrence I am 29 years old and have been a personal trainer for 4 years now. After uni i worked in leisure middle management for a few years before training as a pt and now pay rent for the use of a leisure centre gym in Greenwich. My partner Judit (who will introduce herself later and use this blog too) joined me two years ago and we now work together under the name Lawrence & Rago Personal Training.

I love rugby and played in the national leagues but have not played for a couple of years due bone growths in my hip and ankle which i have had operated on this year. I am really hope to get back playing next year.

I have been working hard for 4 years now but feel very burnt out. I do about 35-45 sessions a wk and it is really catching up with me. I love to learn so seem to spend all my money on books, ecourses and DVDS.
Another mistake I made until recently is not networking, so I am really looking forward to working with all of you.

Basically I have kept myself in a comfort bubble which is not so comfortable any more.

I have been a bit of an internet stalker over the last year signing up to loads of newsletters mainly in Ryan Lee's circle, dax, craig ballantyne, mike boyle, alwyn cosgrove etc. I would look at their sites and think........

I wish i could be as good as him, I should be doing that, how did he do that?, why did he send that, could i do that?

and the most common thought.... ill never be that good.

No more negativity, I can do it and I cant wait to learn!

Ive been sitting on the fence about the PTSA for the last month, mainly cos i was scared but my fear has turned in to excitement now (after Judit kicked me up the arse!) , good luck to everyone!
