When the ministers from the government show up tomorrow at 1115am, we have a secret weapon in store for them.
Of course, I will show them the new equipment, of course I will tell them the evolution of the gym, tell them proudly about our kids and adults classes, the free fruit from the Coop, and I will be showing them the new outside and what’s to come.
BUT, the secret weapon is our people. The stories YOU will be sharing with them tomorrow is our nuclear weapon that bowls over and inspires the most hardened of characters.
We all have similar ability, but it’s the ones that grab that ability and run with it are the ones who inspire me the most.
When those people arrive tomorrow, I know have an easy hour because I hand them over to you lot, great inspirational characters who speak so eloquently and passionately about your often very difficult journey in life.
How you put your trust into exercise and eating right, and how it lifted you out of the gloom and hardship that you may have been feeling at that particular time in your life.
The greatest pleasure I will have tomorrow is not the visitors arriving although they are very welcome, but the stories you will come out with and how life changed when you became more active, when you started eating right, and most importantly, all of that gave you the power to believe in yourself once again and set your life in an incredible direction once again.
Tomorrow is about you and telling your story, let’s be proud of what we have achieved against the odds, and get ready to hit them with everything we have.
