Lacey the itty bitty killer

So my company set us up with a personal trainer that comes twice a week for a core/foam roller class. For this is am really thankful because not every company would do this. We still have to pay a small price but it is next to nothing.  I go as often as I can.

Lacey is the personal trainer who comes to train/kill us.   She is super small and I thought she was in her early twenties when I first met her but she is in her late 30's. She is a level 3 personal trainer that owns her own gym. She is amazing at pushing us as far as we think we can go and then just a little more. She is motivational and hard at the same time.  The things she has us do are so elementary not usually any sort of special equipment used and most of the steps we already know.  There are some small changes to the Squats, lunges, push ups, crunches and other exercises she make us do.

After our hour with Lacy we are exhausted and can feel it the next day. There are typically the same four or five people in there and she seems to pick on everyone equally. It is kind of nice to have a few others in there with her. I however had at least one session with her alone. I really liked it because she worked me hard but also we concentrated on my specific areas of need. I also talked to her about my meds, my issues, my weight and she offered some insights for me. She is not just a trainer but she is also an RN which is super helpful because she understands the med piece that I talked to her about.

Once class we had we discussed nutrition in specific while we were working out. There were things she said that made a lot of sense.

I can't say that I am a ton stronger but I know I am somewhat stronger. I feel it every time I go and when I run too. They say that runners need to cross train and she and this class are perfect for my goals for next year. I also try to incorporate some of her training into my running routine. She gears things to what we do activity wise outside of the class. There is me and there is a guy who is a soccer player so things at times she says gear directly towards that.

I am really thankful for this class, my work offering it and Lacey the itty bitty killer.
