An Equinox Shout Out

This past January my husband and I spent the month in South Beach, Miami. South Beach has a great energy and is incredibly international, we go every opportunity we get and, frankly, dream about having a place there at some point.
I will write several posts about our trip, the things we did, what we loved and what didn’t work, but for this post its about a gym in South Beach called Equinox (www.equinoxfitness.com), without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip.
Mr. T. decided that he wanted to move his workout to a totally new level and get some personal training sessions. He was matched up with trainer AJ who somehow could be pleasant and inflict pain at the same time. Mr. T. saw AJ three times a week and was amazed at the progress he made in only a month. One could only imagine what progress he could have made if he worked with AJ even longer. Needless to say I thought he was as perfect before as after. Notably, all the trainers probably work as models on their off-time. Gorgeous, every single one of them. But more relevant is that as I would watch the trainers work with clients, I could see that they were totally present. I often resist the idea of a personal trainer because when I have had them in the past I found they were focused on everything else in the gym, in their lives, anything and everything but me. Not at Equinox, these people mean it.
