THE PRESIDENT VISITS THE FORGE

What a year 2014 has been!

Definitely the most productive and influential year we have had at The BodyForge to date.

In this year, we’ve continued refining our specialized Life Performance programs to a very selective and dedicated clientele.

That means we have set up the most effective happiness, health and fat loss systems imaginable designed to help all those who are determined to completely change their lives around.

These are the people who just love what we do and who love to work with us.

The ones who are ready to listen, who are ready to try, who will not complain needlessly and who know that hard work is always a necessary part of getting to someplace worthwhile.

And that, of course means, we simply LOVE to work with them.

This has in turn, allowed us to make our programs individually tailored to each and every one of our clients – which of course, boosts compliance and results into the stratosphere.

Refining our audience has been instrumental in helping us in our mission to continue changing people’s lives in incredible ways.

THE MIRACLE OF CHANGE

Continuing in the trend we have set up in previous years, it has been my honour and my privilege to be part of even more miraculous things in 2014.

I have seen people in their 70s and 80s regain their joy of life and feel young again.

I have watched them walk better, straighter and pain free for the first time in years.

I have seen them take up weight training like a duck to water and give the young guns here a run for them money when it comes to enthusiasm and tackling challenges.

I have seen youngsters with issues find purpose and relevance in their lives and use the discipline and confidence from their training as a backbone to their life goals – a vital step to becoming strong and responsible adults

I have watched people with chronic back pain making amazing recoveries, going from a point where walking was impossible to squatting, lunging, and doing jumping jacks.

A process that gave them back their freedom – something they were told would be impossible to regain in their “condition”.

I have seen normal mothers, with an overfull, and overstressed life, turn into rockstar mums, with more control over their lives and more self belief than they would ever have thought possible.

Managing to fit in study, time for themselves, time for their partners and time for their children as well into their life.

Just the way it is supposed to be.

I have seen women who thought of themselves as plain, unimportant and worthless bloom into confident, focused, amazing people, with so much to give.

We have given as much as we could, because giving is always what it’s all about. Taking is never part of the agenda.

In return, we have been given so much back.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER

We have listened, we have learned, we have forged great relationships that enriched us, and dropped other ones that were just sucking our energy dry

And it all just makes us so much better at playing the game we love so much.

In addition, this year we have also had a lot of visits from great personalities, celebrities and assorted VIPs this year.

Members of Parliament, Ministers, Hollywood personalities, athletes – a never ending list of movers and shakers have come in through our doors this year.

But this visit has to take the cake.

The President of the Republic herself popped in for a conversation.

That’s right, H.E. The President, Mary Louise Coleiro Preca took some time out of her incredibly hectic schedule to see what’s rocking at The Forge.

Now THAT is seriously awesome.

While she was here, H.E. and I took the opportunity to discuss some pretty hot health and fitness related issues (I guess everyone knows I am pretty opinionated about that stuff).

I can tell you there is a lot we need to work on in 2015 to spread even more awareness and health to as many people as we can reach.

And you can bet we will be doing it.

Right now, we are drafting our working plan for 2015.

It’s a list of our goals for the coming year – the things we are doing that we want to improve on, the new things we want to do, and how we can make 2015 even better than 2014 has been.

And you can bet your patooties we are going to knock it out of Yankee Stadium.

THE REAL SUPERSTARS – OUR CLIENTS

Of course, none of this would be possible without the people who believe in us.

Those who trust us with their lives, and believe that we can get them from where they are, to an infinitely better place.

In over 2 decades of dynamic involvement in the health and fitness field, all I have ever thought about was helping people become the best version of themselves they could be.

It is something I love with every fibre of my being.

It is what I drink, what I breathe, and what I dream about almost every waking hour of my life.

Even today, after all these years, I still get out of bed with that same fire burning inside my heart – an all consuming inferno of wanting to make today a better day than yesterday.

Absolutely and unquestioningly.

For myself and for others who trust me to take them there.

This is what I do.

This is what I live for.

This is who I am – and it will be my legacy.

For all of you who want to change – desire it so bad you can taste it – I will take you there.

I have done it a thousand times before, and I will continue doing it as long as my heart still beats.

If YOU believe in your dreams without question – then we can do it together.

Because I believe in you too.

Thank you to everyone who crossed my path this year.

In one way or another, you have enriched me infinitely.

Now buckle up and get ready for something even better.
