Our most recent SpartanFit ‘Club 100’ story and the addition of our three new members to it was completed by Jelena Ćorluka Lončarić 🙂
The uniqueness of our almost-two-year training experience and friendship has many facets, and the whole story began when Jelena decided to start training on June 8th, just around the time when most of my trainees take a summer break.
Just as I won’t forget our approximately two-hour introductory conversation/consultation, I will certainly continue to appreciate the confirmation of the idea that the right decisions are never about waiting for the right moment. It’s up to us to create them ourselves, without waiting for a new week, month, or year. That idea lives on and is embodied by patient, consistent, and dedicated people like Jelena. That approach of hers still persists, and all the breaks we had so far were the result of couple of ‘musts’, be it injury or personal obligations related.
With most of my trainees, I usually find myself at the end of our workouts wondering how quickly our shared time flew by. Jelena is the perfect example of this notion, as there’s always so much to talk about during those short breaks. Knowing that you can ask a person in front of you for an opinion, advice, or a suitable Facebook group adds another grateful dimension to the whole experience.
In conclusion, fitness goals vary for each of us, and it’s up to me to find the best way possible for anyone who decides to come to us on how to achieve them. Regardless of what someone wants, be it losing weight, gaining mass, strengthening the core, improving posture, getting rid of certain pains, or feeling better, there’s no one right or wrong answer. I am happiest and only truly satisfied when people around me are also satisfied in that regard. For pushing boundaries, setting new goals, and changing yourself, your lifestyle or your approach to fitness, it’s never too late, especially if done patiently and intelligently enough. Jelena has already completed two of our programs, and from the next month we are starting the third. I am truly confident that we have only scratched the surface of everything that awaits us and what she is capable of.
