This morning I got a call from a long time gym friend from a gym I used to go a couple years ago for BODYCOMBAT classes.. The gym is always special in a way to me where I had my humble beginnings having spent some 10 years as a member and eventually grew as a BODYCOMBAT instructor..
Even though the gym was at the other end of the city, it didn't stop me from travelling there in the rush hour traffic and through the times, I've made a lot of friends from there, some I've watched them grew "from kids to kidults", from single to married (one of them just announced her "I do" last weekend!), from pretty to prettier and from handsome to more handsome.. some went as two generations and even as a whole family in the class together.. And with so many of us, we took up like half the studio floor space.. Eventually a few of us moved up on stage as instructors.. Yea.. Those were the days..
Anyway, this friend asked me why I am no longer teaching in that gym, and also shared with me that other senior instructors were also keen to make a comeback..
To which I replied, "it is not for us to say, we respect the club managers".. Of course not word for word but I meant it that way, because at the end of the day, it all comes down to the managers..
To this gym friend, thank you for still believing in us old skoolers and sharing with me your's and the thoughts of the rest of the members, I believe we are still able to bring back the fun.. Just a tip here, you guys can always feedback to your club managers of the current situations..
Thank you.. I'm sure one day there's a chance to fight alongside once again.. Don't let the BODYCOMBAT flame die.. Keep it real and stay with the fight..
