The Training Loft Spotlight on Jackie Kerekes
A
s a new year begins, I reflect back on 2019, a year of incredible learning for me. I look at my life, my business and my wellness/fitness. They all tie together. I have always led a healthy lifestyle by making fitness and nutrition a priority. For the past ten years I have been a single mom of four and my workouts have helped me balance mind/body wellness through it all. I don’t believe I would have held everything together as well as I did without my intense focus on fitness and nutrition. After many years of working in other fitness facilities I went full-swing into last year with my own personal training studio, The Training Loft in Clarks Summit. I work with clients from 6 a.m. to sometimes 8 p.m. or later, often up to seven days a week. Working round the clock allowed me to help my clients reach and maintain their fitness and wellness goals. When not working with clients, I put a lot of time and energy into growing my busi-

ness, thinking about how I can encourage more people to make the commitment to their own health. I know that everyone wants to be healthier and more fit but it is a challenge and it’s not easy to get there. If it were easy, everyone around us would be totally fit. It takes time, discipline and a commitment to making your health and wellness a priority. No one can do this for you but you. Even for me, this first full year in business has left very little time for me to keep up with my own personal fitness goals. I aim to stick to short frequent workouts, while keeping the nutritional aspect as the number one priority. I believe fitness is 80 percent about your nutrition and 20 percent about working out. I have designed personalized programs for everyone from couch potatoes to seasoned marathon runners. I meet with you one-on-one for private training sessions, and I also hold daily 30 minute small group training sessions. I think the best thing you can give yourself is self-care. “Busy” can be everyone’s excuse to not

work out or commit to healthier nutrition. We are all too busy. But if feeling better, being healthier, looking more fit and having a better mental perspective are all priorities, you will make the time and commitment to make selfcare your goal.
