How do know when your clients get it?

I recently had two converations in the gym that brought a huge smile to my face.

Two clients, one age 38yrs the other 65yrs had just completed their 6km run at the same time. The younger client, very impressed asked the others' age and discoeverd her mother was around the same age. "My mom could never have done that" she exclaimed. "She is thin but she is not fit like you." She went on to explain that when she first started here at Huronia CrossFit her goal was to loose weight and look good. Now she said, "I don't care about that. I care how strong I am, like how much I can snatch!"  

Another client, a police officer in his mid forties recently was talking to me about getting into shape and he said "I don't want to be in good shape for my age, I want to be in goodshape no matter what."

I LOVE IT! These people get it!
