Community of AWESOMENESS!!!!

I recently traveled to Nashville, Tennessee... I didn't travel to see the sights or take a family vacation - I went to Nashville to be surrounded by a community of people who were just like me, but at the same time very different from me!   You see...I went to Nashville to better MYSELF.  While I was there, I quickly realized I was surrounded by amazing people EVERYWHERE!   There were over 20 thousand of these amazing people!  

As the trip got closer and closer on the calendar, I kept thinking this was a bit of an inconvenience, I was leaving my family for 4 days, did I really want to go, would my family survive (of course they did)....but once I arrived in Nashville and saw the amazing things that were about to happen, I knew I was EXACTLY where I needed to be!

I traveled to Nashville to attend the annual Team Beachbody Summit.  It is simply a few days of getting together with AWESOME people to workout and learn more about ourselves and our business.  This was my VERY FIRST Summit to attend and I already have tickets for next year.

Kristi and I taking on Nashville

I met one of my AMAZING coaches (Kristi) for the very first time.   Kristi and I met on Instagram a year ago and immediately made a fitness/nutrition connection and very quickly became friends!   We visit periodically through video calls and are constantly keeping up with each other, not only with our fitness journey but personal life as well!   When I met Kristi in the airport in Nashville, it was as if we had been friends for years!  Kristi is definitely my kind of people.  We laughed, sweat, laughed and sweat some more over the course of these 4 days.   We made music videos, walked 10,000 miles all over town, ate delicious food and listened to some AMAZING speakers.  We heard from THE Challene Johnson, THE Shawn T, THE Tony Horton, THE Sagi Kalev and THE Autumn Calabrese!   If you don't know who these people are, they are our HERO's.   They have created many of the health & fitness programs we use to get where we are today!  We were literally surrounded by goodness all around!!!

Team Superstars after our Super Workout on Broadway Street

I also met many of our teammates!  I belong to a team called Team Superstars.   Many of the people on our team we had only met through video calls and are located all over the United States.   My team keeps me accountable, lifts me up when I'm struggling, makes me laugh, they are a wealth of knowledge and are from all walks of life.   We are teachers, scientists, accountants, professors, stay-home moms, stay-home dads, nurses, you name it...we have every profession represented on our team!   We are also from different backgrounds, some with NO college degrees to those who have their PhD!   No judgement on our team, we are all equals and all trying to be the best version of ourselves and all trying to help others do the same.

If you have been looking for a community like this to keep you accountable in your health & fitness journey, to "do" life with without judgement and have fun...email me at jamisfitnessjourney@gmail.com   I'd love to visit with you.   

One thing I find different about this community of people as opposed to the group of people I see day-in and day-out during my workday as a campus tech for a local school district >>> these people WANT to be doing what they are doing.  My team and myself WANT to help others on their health & fitness journey, we WANT to grow as individuals and be the best version of us we can be, whereas my current job...more than half of the people I work with DON'T want to be there.  I hear every week from those at work (heck I've said it myself).... TGIF.  We are all there working for Friday so we can have 2 days off and start all over again.   My goal with Team Beachbody is simple.  In the next few years, I plan to leave my current job, no longer have to work in non-airconditioned buildings in the summertime and no longer have to be looked down upon by some I work with because I'm "only" a computer technician.  In the next few years I will no longer be saying TGIF or dreading the Sunday night "oh no, I have to work tomorrow" routine.    We've all heard it...if you LOVE what you do, you will never work a day again in your life.  Well, right now...I do not LOVE what I do as a computer tech, but I LOVE helping others with their health & fitness goals.  In a few short years I WILL be doing this full-time, I WILL tell my current day job "BYE-BYE" and will no longer be dreading the Sunday night blues.    If this is something you are interested in, please fill out the following form.  If you are interested in bettering your health & fitness, your current financial situation or BOTH, complete the form below "I want to know more".

I WANT TO KNOW MORE!!!
