Testimonial of Triumph

Over the past 25 years, I have had the opportunity (the Honor) of training some amazing people. When you finally find your “purpose”, the true reason you’re on this Earth, you are presented with immeasurable fulfillment. I started having clients write me Testimonials about 14 years ago (I wish now I had started further back).I honestly wanted to have the words of the individuals to reflect on our journeys together. I wanted to insure that they got my very best AND it validated to me why I exist.

Well…..this time I feel it’s necessary to for ME to write a Testimonial for someone. This person has been a mentor to me and is my longest active client. He is considered a great friend and someone I greatly respect. Here goes……..

Testimonial of Triumph

Kevin Wade

By Gerry Blais

     Just over 14 years ago (and it feels like yesterday) one of my clients asked that I meet with her Father for some training and I graciously accepted. I had met Kevin in person previously and remembered how impressed I was. It was blatantly obvious that he was one that takes everything serious and his attention to every detail was clear.

We soon begin our Journey, one that to this day STILL presses on with power. Workout after workout we trained, mixing up countless combinations of the most intense sessions (beat downs). Kevin never once complained or had a single negative thing to say. He brought all he had. At the time Kevin was in his 40’s(my age now)and he trained HARDER than my clients in their 20’s.I was so impressed. But as incredible as that would be, it was Kevin’s never ending words of positive energy that took me. During our workouts he would talk about (barely able to breathe.. lol) the power of Positive power and his mentor Anthony Robbins. I would get so amped up by the end of each session from his passion that I felt dizzy. It was intoxicating!

Kevin would radiate positive power. I vividly remember him walking in one day with a SUITCASE full of Anthony  Robbins cassettes. He had listened to them countless times and encouraged me to do the same. That period of time Kevin got himself in the best shape of his life. To this day I am still frazzled from the experience.

Kevin’s business was rapidly growing to the point where we had to take some time off. He originally started his lawn care company with just him, a truck and some equiptment.NOW (with all his positive power) he had evolved into a rapidly growing empire.

     Seven years ago (a decade later) Kevin contacted me though my website and asked to resume our Journey. I had changed work locations and had gone full force with personal training at a large Health club. General management obligations in my previous club had restricted me from training as I liked and I decided to go full time with PT. It was a scary move for me having to start from scratch but remembering all that Kevin preached to me I felt confident taking the chance.”A life without risk is a Life not living”. Kevin said he was searching for me for years and had made a personal plan for himself to get back into the best shape of his life. Over ten years of working like a machine and neglecting his health Kevin had become unhappy with himself physically. It was time to take action. We began an amazing journey of the hardest workouts of his life. Every ounce of my being went into getting Kevin back to fighting shape. Every creative thing in my sick, complex brain went into designing workouts to push Kevin to his limits. We were a team. We were determined.

The health club I was employed with decided to change the training program to one that I was very much against and ethically (to the respect of my clients)I has to leave. My fiancé asked me to work for her at a nearby Training studio. I once again had to start from scratch. Very scary considering the current economic crisis, but went for it anyway. I had a lot of hard work ahead of me but hard work is all I know. I was once again determined.

3 Years ago, on my very first day of my new job Kevin walked in (ON HIS BIRTHDAY) and signed up as my first client. For one of the hardest years of my life, Kevin and I have been on the proverbial “battlefield” and fighting the fight. Recently after having an injury that would of disabled most, he pushed through it and has rebuilt the machine that he is. Nothing will stop this man. Without going on any further, this Testimony is about one incredible man. The future and possibilities are endless with the attitude you’ll find in Kevin Wade.

Nothing is impossible and everything is yours if you want it.

THANK YOU Kevin,its people like you who make my job awesome!
