When I was considering what to choose as a main subject, my
biggest aim was to get in to a very good physical shape and because
I´m a bit of individualist I chose fitness as a sport where
everybody can work just on their own and don´t have to rely on
others. Well, after few lessons I realized my expectations being
COMPLETELY wrong. First of all, fitness in Gerlev is not about
step-touch or being the biggest bodybuilder in the world,
especially not being the best one! Secondly, don´t think about
fitness as an individual sport anymore! Of course I was working out
on myself and my condition and strength developed rapidly (as
everyone´s did), BUT I could have never become such a fit person
without the teachers, Morten and Sooty, leading me to learn the
best possible techniques and body control. The support I recieved
from my partners shouting at me to sweat at least one more drop of
blood and especially without the group atmosphere which was just
incredibly motivating!!! Everybody pushing and helping everybody!!
I´m really grateful to the teachers for showing us fantastic way of
working out and teaching us that being fit doesn´t mean to have big
guns. Those guns, as well as all our body, have to be prepared for
everything. Even for lifting heavy weights or working out really
hard for a LONG time. In Gerlev I was taught to combine every
aspect of my body together (including my mind) and the result is
that I´m "CROSS - FIT", prepared for everything! No pain, no
gain… GO FITNESS!!!
