I held fitness events every month such as marathons, 5 K’s, bench
meets, 300 challenges and many other events for them to
participate.
Every Friday I would have to get up and teach Command P.T. for the
day. I was the one standing in front of the command
instructing them what to do. I was also sent to a training
class to teach the military instructors how to instruct
morning P.T. sessions.
Everyone came to me for any fitness related issues or activities on
the entire base. I had a staff that I scheduled to teach
yoga, pilates, spin,
step aerobics,
water aerobics, bosu and
stability ball class. I ran classes for the military
personnel who were in danger of getting kicked out of the
service due to low scores on their Personal Fitness Testing.
This was called FEP (fitness enhancement program) I had
these people two to three times per week and worked them
pretty hard. I am proud to say that all of them passed their
next PRT and are currently continuing their military
careers.
One of the coolest things about my job was all the famous people I
got to meet. My job was to pick them up from the air
terminal and take them around the base to meet and greet the
service men and women.
Olympic medalists, musicians, comedians, professional cheerleaders,
actors and the list goes on. I was on ESPN with a
fishing program that came to the base to film their show.
The speed limit was 25 mph;
it was a real laid back, slow-paced place that showed me how
to slow my life down again.
There was no crime except the occasional drunken bar fight. Iguanas
were the base "animal" and buzzards were the base bird. They
were both all over the place.
The water was so blue and calm and I lived less than 100 yards from
the ocean. On my free time I golfed, snorkeled, fished,
hiked and enjoyed a few games of frisbee golf. I had officer
status and went to parties with the commanding officer of
the base. I met a lot of nice, interesting people there and
have made some great contacts.
Regretfully, due to some family matters, I had to resign early but
not without an excellent letter of recommendation. I am back
here now with extra knowledge and experience to pass on to
all my clients. I am doing boot
camps now so if you have an organization, church,
company or a group of friends where there is a need for you
to build some camaraderie and have fun and get in shape
doing it give me a call and let’s get you started.
