SAL

KIA ORA
Well my name is Salvatore.I do allow only certain people to call me Sammy. A nik name for Sal.
I am from Brooklyn N.Y. and I am the proud father of 4 wonderful children. Paulina 18 (Lina) Sal 14 (Jr.)
and I have twins that are a year and a day younger then Jr. Joseph (JJ) and Elizabeth (LIZZY)13.
Paulina has just moved out and is going to college in Maryland. I miss my best friend. She came to live with me almost 4 years ago and we really bonded. She is her fathers daughter. Just like me. Which is why her mom sent her to me.
On June 6th of 2007 I walked in to my first group fitness class ever. BODYPUMP. I was never so sore in my life. I weighed 240 pounds,I had high blood pressure,high evertything. Type 2 dibetic. Good gosh.
Well in just 4 to 5 months I lost almost 60 pounds.
All my blood levels are back to normal. These programs are the fastes way to loose weight and get into the best shape of your life. I am also on the BODYPUMP success stories page.So on Aug 1,2 and 3 2008 I went through BODYPUMP training. Gosh I did not get it right,so I had to do a resit.
Well on Sept the 6th 2008 I went to Nashville Tenn. and did my resit. Day 2 all over again. This time I passed. I recieved a pass withheld which is fine. This gives me time to stretch my legs and time to grow as an instructor. I look forward to team teaching and being on the stage. Im a little scarded but I will get over that.
I want to thank Scott and Shelley for training me the first round. I took all the feed back and worked my butt off to get it right.I want to thank all of my friends and wow I can finally say my fellow insructors for all the support and help. Crystal was a huge help. She took time away from being a wife and mom to help me with my coaching and cueing.Also thank you Daphne for always being in my corner and reminding me not to be so hard on myself. No words can describe how I feel about having you as a friend.
Thank you to
Lisa and the ladies for round 2 of training. I had the time of my life with you ladies and the other trainees.
A real Big Thank You to these instructors for always answering my questions and putting up with me in class.
Lauren,Ruthie,Chantelle,Tam,Mark,Tara,Cara,Chris,Traci,Tracy,Joanie,Belinda,
Sallie,Lip Oh gosh to many to list.

and ROCKIN classes.
Now the real work begins.

KIA KAHA NEVER SURRENDER
Time to update.
Well the team teaching is getter better by the day. I have come into my own and I am HAVING A BLAST.
What a journey this has become. Just did a team teach with Crystal at Vestavia for the afternoon Sunday crowd and I do mean crowd. I was told that people were talking outside the gym about Crystal and I and how great our class was today. Wow Awesome feeling.So it is time for the next step, doing a video of me teaching the entire class myself for our GFM. I was also approched by a nice couple that told me they had seen me on the BodyPump success stories page and that I did a fantastic job. Well it was a team effort not a solo gig. We the instructors are a team. We do this because we love to and we want everyone to CHANGE YOUR BODY/CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
