We are back from our brief hiatus and ready to wow you with all of our new ideas and strategies to help you achieve lasting health and fitness. While the blog activity has been slow since the challenge, the back door work has been feverish and we are excited about the direction we are headed. We started this whole thing with the idea that we could help people by sharing what we enjoy doing and possibly, somewhere down the road make a living at it. We are not close to making a living at it, but do find ourselves in a position to take this venture a bit more serious and are attempting to get more organized. We are making some changes that we hope will, first and foremost, benefit those who we train and at the same time make our lives more manageable. We actually scheduled a business meeting with each other last week and sat down with an agenda to work things out. Without kids it was almost like a date! (sad, we know)
Revamped Blog
Our computer skills are still not up to par, but we have played around with blogger for the past couple of weeks and made some changes that we hope make the blog more attractive and, with the tabs, help new people to our blog find out more about us and what we do.
New Workout Posts
One of the nice things that has come out of the morning fitness classes is how the group involved in the training has bonded as a community. We hope to extend this community to more people by posting the workouts that the class does on the blog three times a week. We will both collaborate on the weekly workouts and use the same ones with each of our clients, properly scaled to their ability of course. People who want to can post the results of their workouts. This helps simply by providing a record of your results and a way to keep track, but also provides some accountability and motivation as you can see the results of others. We will do the workouts as well and post our times. So going forward every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday we will have posts with workouts. We will also link to any articles, blogs, or other resources that we come across that may be of interest to you. We will also continue to post random musings as they come to us.
Business Stuff
We have hired an accountant to help make sure that we are handling the financial side correctly and will be working soon with a professional graphic designer to help us with branding and to come up with a new logo.
There is more in the works and we will roll things out as we get a better handle on them and still try to maintain our sanity. It is exciting and fun and we hope you enjoy the changes. Finally we leave you with what we came up with as our vision for the business and our mission statement going forward.
Vision
New Dawn Fitness, helping to bring the community together to achieve lasting health and fitness.
Mission
Our mission is to be the catalyst for information sharing on all things relating to nutrition, fitness and lifestyle factors that improve the quality of life for our clients and in turn, our community. We will do this by providing the best training, most recent and effective nutritional information, and an examination of lifestyle factors that may be holding individuals back from achieving the best quality of life possible.
