Recognition FINALLY!

CONGRATULATIONS DARRIN!
Darrin and I attended the 2006 Goodlife Awards Gala in Toronto last night. Darrin was nominated for Fitness Manager of the year however, received a huge honour when goodlife announced a surprise award. This award was awarded to Darrin for having the top PT revenue in 2005! Darrin had an amazing 2005 and beat all the records in Goodlife's history and finally got
RECOGNIZED!
Our club had 4 nominees:
Darrin: Fitness Manager of the year
Jeff: Personal Trainer of the year
(photo on left)
Tim: Membership Coordinator of the year
(Tim won this last year)
Jenna: Assistant GM of the year
(photo below with GM, Garry)
Congratulations to all the finalists on their
nominations!
Here's Tim and Lindsay..it was nice to spend the evening with them. They will be getting married in December of 2007 --we wish them a lifetime of happiness and are honoured to call them friends.

We had nice time in Toronto. The venue was all held under one roof, it was awesome that we didn't have to drive anywhere. We stayed at the Toronto Westin Harbour Castle--the hotel was great and had the best room service. After the awards, Darrin and I went across the street to get a bite to eat...and it just happened that we ended up at a sports pub where they were broadcasting UFC. Darrin couldn't have been happier...received an award, got to see the fight and had a day off work! Darrin had to go back to attend the conference today & tonight but was able to drive me back home in between.

La...he'd love nothing more...he's working on it. He's very dedicated and he makes me sick...he's put on 2lbs of muscle in less than 2wks and lost over 10lbs of fat already - thanks for D's diet.

Now if only I could combat his mood swings...lol

Keep on striving to bring the best package you can to the stage babe...I know you will and can! I love you with all my heart and soul. Jonathan and I stand behind you 110%.

You really deserve that award and it's about time that they recognized you for all of your hard work!

I'm so happy that you had a good time on the week-end! We're all very proud of your accomplishments!
Keep up the good work and you'll go a long way!
