Gift from a friend

Thursday (Thanksgiving) I got an e-mail from Kirsten Cassidy at ADAPT Training.  I had been a member at ADAPT until March of this year; when Sue was laid off from her job I decided to discontinue my membership and focus on starting my own fitness coaching business. 

In her e-mail, Kirsten told me that there had been a raffle at their annual free Thanksgiving workout.  One of the students from the 9 AM classes I had been attending won a six-month membership to ADAPT.  She asked Kirsten if she could offer the membership to me, since I hadn't wanted to leave in the first place.  Hell yeah, I want it!  I love ADAPT; not only did I enjoy training there, I learned a lot, and met some great people.  This gift also coincides with my training cycle for The Test; the extra coaching is a welcome surprise.

I'm extremely grateful to have the opportunity to resume my training at ADAPT, but I'm more grateful to my benefactors Brad and Shannon Simmons.  Their generosity is very touching, and much appreciated.  I'm not the most friendly person in the world, so when someone reaches out to me like that... let's just say I'm very moved by the whole thing.

  1. Well, Jim, you ARE a very friendly person. Don't sell yourself short! If you weren't, these folks wouldn't have been thinking of you! Congrats on the great gift!
