September 2024 Newsletter
Twenty & Seventeen-Year Anniversaries
Although I forgot to mention it, last month marked 20 years since I quit Porsche and moved to Omaha to date Kristin - which marked the beginning of my then-new career as a Certified Personal Trainer. I did the math and if I’ve averaged six appointments per day, five days per week, for the past 20 years, I estimate that I’ve trained north of 31,000 personal training appointments now. Of course, Kristin followed my lead and began training professionally in 2005. We married in August 2006. And by September 2007, we decided to go into business for ourselves.
That’s right. On September 27, we follow August’s 20-year business and 18-year wedding anniversaries with the 17th anniversary of Kennedy Fitness. Over all those years, Kristin and I have competed in bodybuilding, powerlifting, marathons, and triathlons. We’ve trained clients for weddings, reunions, sporting events, modeling contracts, heart attack prevention and rehab, military recruitment, battling age and cancer, and (of course) for both general muscle building and fat loss. We’ve seen you (usually) succeed. We’ve seen you (occasionally) fail. We’ve seen you celebrate graduations and weddings. We’ve seen you mourn divorces and deaths.
Kristin and I started Kennedy Fitness just as the housing market collapsed. We grew it throughout the Great Recession, and we weathered the storm of the COVID pandemic. Through it all, we’ve seen you drop double (and a few times even triple) digit weight on the scale. We’ve seen you drop inches (and sometimes even feet) of fat off your frames. We’ve seen you quit. We’ve seen you come back. We’ve seen you become parents and grandparents. Heck, we’ve become parents!
Yep, these past 20/17 years have been filled with memories, both good and bad, but mostly good. So, as we reflect on these past couple of decades, Kristin and I just want to thank you. Some of you have joined us more recently, but several of you have been with us through the majority of this journey. In any case, your business and your friendship are both appreciated more than we can express. So, thank you. With two decades behind us, I don’t know whether or not we’ve got another two in front of us. If we do, we hope you’re still a part those memories we’ve yet to make!
