What’s your “why”?
In 2013, a near-drowning experience while surfing drastically changed the way I thought about fitness.
In my early years as a high school athlete, I had always thought about fitness in relation to team-based sports, lifting weights in the gym and building muscle. I considered myself to be “fit” based on those defining terms. Yet, when I was 100 yards offshore in overhead surf and my board leash snapped, my “fitness” couldn’t save me. I was alone, trying to keep my head above water while swallowing it and getting violently pummeled by cold, relentless waves.
Thankfully, I was rescued that day by a fellow surfer who witnessed my board wash up on the shore and paddled out. In the weeks following, I was gifted a new perspective on what training should look like.
Training should, at the very least, keep you alive when it matters.
Coaching that makes sense
In a more broad (and less dark) sense, the way you train should prepare you for the demands of your lifestyle.
Whether your “why” is being able to play with your kids, carry more groceries in a single trip, or having the confidence to hike a mountain with your buddies on vacation, your fitness should allow you to do those things well.
OM Fitness considers your lifestyle, interests and body mechanics to design and implement effective fitness programming.
