When I was 9 the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a “Smash Up Derby” (it’s now a Vintage Toy- OMG)! I was so happy when I unwrapping it and had so much fun running them across the kitchen floor. Smashing them up- boys! What I did not know until years later was that my Dad went to several towns and stores- it took him a few days to find it! But that’s what Dad’s do. My son is 7 now and totally into Christmas this year and into Pokémon! He wants a particular Pokémon card set and hopefully it doesn’t take two days to find it! But if it does I will get it because as much as I teach him about earning stuff (he helped me clean the gym today for an hour) I cant stop thinking about how awesome it was to have that toy, how great my parents are and how special those days really were. It has been an amazing year for Lebert Fitness and we are loving this business. We have seen the EQ’s and Buddies just about everywhere, have Australia and Europe Master Trainers and won accolades but by far the best part of all this is YOU. I truly feel like everyone we workout with becomes part of our family. It’s really been a special year that way and I know 2012 will be the same and I am excited about that. But before the New Year I am looking forward to a few days at home (maybe a week?), seeing my boy's face light up and creating more holiday memories. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone!
