I’ve been meaning to write about Alisha Austin Fitness for – oh about six months now. I’ve been procrastinating about it. You ever do that? Procrastinate? Perhaps you procrastinate about getting fit? If you’ve been coming up with 101 reasons for not going to the gym or going for a jog or doing whatever DVD you have in your basement, you should get to know Alisha. You might already know her. If your kid has ever had their face magically transformed with face paint at the East Lynn Market, you’ve probably met the wonderful, talented, totally down-to-earth, Alisha Austin.
Aside from being a fabulous DECA volunteer, Alisha is also a personal trainer – but she’s no uber-pumped, intimidating iron-woman. She’s a mom who knows what an unused gym membership looks like. She’s not all judgmental about it. But she can get your butt into gear. If you’ve ever thought about a private personal trainer – you won’t find a better price than this. And nothing will get you started like a few private sessions. If that’s not your thing, there are other boot camp options to choose from. The least you can do is check out the website.
Anyway – I stopped procrastinating and you can too.
Yoga
If that’s not your thing, you might try a little yoga with another DECA member, Amanda, on Monday evenings or Friday mornings (before work) in a home-based studio on King Edward (one block east of Woodbine.) For more contact her at simplybyamanda77@gmail.com
