Every great story has a beginning and every beginning has an end… Or so they say. For just a brief moment, think of a success story that has in some way had an impact on you as a person or on your life in general. Now take it a step further and contemplate whether success in itself truly has an ‘ending’. If something or someone in the past was able to provide enough influence to effect us personally and contour who we are today, then are we able to truly and rightfully assert that the legacy of success can be put to an end? It appears then that we can at least conclude there is truth in one saying: That each story really does have two sides.
My story begins now. Hi, my name is Emma Pietrzak, and I will be serving as your narrator for what is soon to be one of the greatest success stories I will ever have the honor of telling. New to the beautiful and astounding city of Las Vegas, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to help represent a new revolution in the fitness industry called Connect To Fitness where I received the title of Director of News and Print. Before I get too ahead of myself, allow me to explain a little more in depth about what Connect To Fitness is, what the buzz is all about and what I want to accomplish with you, faithful reader, in the journey ahead.
Getting back to and elaborating on success; we all have the capacity to breed success through success and to therefore allow our own legacy to live on through the lives of others. We are given a tremendous gift to create a positive influence on the world around us and to hope that one day we, too, will have given rise to our own living legacy. Being a part of the fitness industry has given all of us the prospect of being able to initiate affirmative change in others lives as well as our own. Although we all can say we ‘specialize’ in one thing or another, we are, in actuality, all striving for the same thing: To help make the world a better place through our work and to build our own success story one person at a time. One of the things that brought me out to Las Vegas (aside from the fact that there is great potential in the fitness industry) was the thought and possibility to reside somewhere that would provide me the ability to reach others on a larger scale. Although the fitness industry is by no means in a choke-hold, what we can’t deny is the simple fact that as a society, we are experiencing an epidemic where even in a world laden with technological and scientific advancements, the decline in health is only becoming more rapid and according to statistics, the future is looking pretty bleak as well.
With that said, take another moment and think about what it is you specialize in and what you are currently doing to create lasting change around you to build your own legacy. Are you living up to your own expectations and potential or do you feel that out there, somewhere, lies a way to achieve maximum impact on a larger scale? This is the whole idea behind Connect To Fitness. Founded by one of the most distinguished and respectable individuals I have ever had the privilege of meeting, Dr. Darian Parker, who operates as both President of Connect To Fitness as well as Manager for the Fitness Department at Club Ridges in Summerlin, is making this vision a reality in a big way.
Established with the intention to fuse together networking and relationship-building opportunities amongst professionals in the health, fitness and wellness industry, Connect To Fitness is on the fast track to becoming an industry standard in accessing valuable resources, quality education, job connections and partnerships. It is designed with the intention of giving each of us the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone and into a new realm of using networking to share our individual and combined skills, talents, fortes and specialties to help benefit one another and therefore make more efficient progress within the industry on the issues that effect us, our careers and those around us most. By sharing information and creating liaison we will be able to reach more people in ways we weren’t previously capable of.
Connect To Fitness would like to establish a reputation as a group of professionals dedicated to service and in helping one another grow personally and professionally. Scheduled monthly gatherings held at various health and fitness related facilities grant the opportunity to discuss more ways to become involved in the industry through upcoming events, community volunteer services, as well as product demonstrations and debuts and the honor of meeting and connecting with others in the industry. With your help we are also working to develop an online database where everything from the exchange of ideas to career opportunities will be easily accessible and right at your fingertips. You will be able to keep up to date with what is new and happening through a monthly newsletter that will be distributed for you monthly, personal email invitations and reminders, as well as an up to date weekly blog, where you will be provided with current information on Connect To Fitness sprinkled with a bit of insight and inspiration. In addition, we are providing the option to various and willing professionals in the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding areas to be interviewed and placed in the limelight by being featured in an edition of our monthly newsletter. Connect To Fitness will be a great way to showcase and provide exposure to those looking to get the word out on what they are undertaking and accomplishing in their career field.
The health, fitness and wellness industry is vast and full of potential and it us up to us to see it through to the best possible outcome we can establish in this lifetime. The road ahead may be rocky, but together we can form our own solid living legacy, appropriately titled Connect To Fitness, that can’t be touched and will certainly allow us to work more efficiently and diligently at getting the job done right. How will the ‘end’ of your success story ‘live’? Think about it and I will see you next week.
