I’m pretty sure if Axl Rose were to write a song like “November Rain” in Canada, it would just be called “Snow.” The melody would be different and probably have some references to hockey, but I’m pretty sure the main gist of the entire song would be the same.

 

Workshop Stuff

We’re in Los Angeles THIS COMING WEEKEND and still have a few spots left. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the fires, but should be safe from everything where we are in the middle of West Hollywood.

We just taught a sweet workshop in Slovenia, so hitting up LA will be a bit of a different cultural experience, but we’re down for it.

We also have upcoming dates in Detroit (Feb 9-10), Philadephia (April 27-28) and Edmonton (May 25-26)

If you’re not planning to come to any of our events, you can check out the first version of the workshop, and funny enough it’s been just over 2 years since we released it to the public.

How Much Should a Personal Trainer Keep Personal? – Hayden Perno via thePTDC.com

As you can imagine, I prefer to let who I am come through in my writing, social media, and professional appearances. There’s a few things I don’t discuss openly, but when it comes to personal interests, hobbies, etc there’s way more upside to sharing that kind of stuff than there is a downside. This article delves into the risks and benefits of what you share, plus who you attract with that kind of content.
