How can I introduce myself to a class succinctly while still being impactful? I've been coaching at this gym for two years, but I started coaching about ten years ago. I've tried various training modalities and experienced both falling off the "wagon" and pushing myself to intense workouts six days a week with two-a-day sessions. I've also dealt with overtraining injuries and made a long recovery back. What I've learned over that time is that treating resistance training and exercise as a practice and a skill rather than a way to beat yourself up and burn calories is the most successful approach.
