"Fitness gives us a way to escape from the pressure and stress of living the city life. I strive to bring together a positive, upbeat and driven group of people. We journey to find ourselves by pushing our physical limits. My training relates to the theory found in the yoga principle of "the edge". Along the path of finding ourselves, exploring our limits and testing our abilities, we find moments when we are able to surpass our own limitations and find our personal "edge". By discovering our boundaries, we learn to discover ourselves."

FIT or FLOP

Sorry to throw in a totally self-indulgent and non-informational blog on the page, especially after such a long break from providing my high-quality and super-informative blog posts.



However, the same way that I find my success in your fitness, it now presents itself for all of you to find your success in my total domination of this contest!!!!

Fit or Flop began as an idea from my friend May Madarang @makeshiftmay (who I used to live next door to in middle school AND THANKS MAY!!!). She sends me a message like "Jasmine why aren't you a part of this contest", during the first season, and I'm like "May I don't know why, I'll sign up right now!!" So I sent in my application, and forgot about it. Months and months later I get an email for a closed audition for season 2. They tell me I will go in front of a panel of judges and be expected to demonstrate my workout and talk about my brand and method. There are a few ways that a person might decide to prepare for a moment like this. The obvious choice was to go back and watch last season and dissect the things that made some win and some lose, as well as form an idea of what the contest was all about. However, I am not your average bird. I decided I would not even look at the website, not watch a single episode, and not create any expectations in my mind for what the judges might want. I already know I'm a superstar trainer, so it should be totally organic for me when I walk in front of the judges and do my thing.

Here's my featured episode :)

I don't regret my choice in audition preparation, but I am allowed to laugh at my style (I'm actually laughing while typing right now). I walked into that room, with my hot pink leg warmers and my super positive attitude like nothing was going to stop me, and the competition might possibly be over the minute they met me.

Picture this: it's a huge well lit room. Inside are a gillion cameras, lights, microphones, strangers, and a big open space for you to stand in front of a huge towering judges table, with 3 very good looking and confident people looking down at you ready to tear you apart, or love you and make you famous (this is the audition through my eyes). I'm like, "I should have had flashy music or a impressive speech or a grand entrance" in my head. But!!! Well, I blacked out after the entrance, so you have to watch the first episode to see what happened...

So the outcome?? No shame and tears. Success!!!! Three out of three votes for FIT. I'm in the competition, voting is on, everyone can vote everyday, and every vote counts. Literally, I am against someone with thousands of followers on facebook. I have almost 200. Vote please.

Here's the real deal, from me. I know I'm a superstar trainer. For me, being a superstar means having the qualities of a leader, the ability to encourage people to strive for more, and to show them they can achieve more than they ever thought possible. Every morning when I get up to train, I am motivated, not by the money but by my clients and their bodies and the opportunity they've gifted me to change their lives. Secretly, the selfish plus for me, is that every success with them, is a success for me!!

I am competing against megastars of the social media world that can win this contest just from the numbers of followers they have on facebook. They might have quantity, but I have QUALITY. I am counting on you all to believe in me enough to vote EACH AND EVERY DAY!!!!
