2012 was another stellar year for us. Not only did we win the 2012 Best of Manhattan Award for personal training- but we also had in excess of a quarter million visitors reading our blogs! Most importantly, Naturally Intense has become a place where people come for well researched and definitive articles on diet, weight loss and exercise subjects that are not often covered in magazines and on the net. I have been often asked why it is that I spend so much time putting together such extensive articles when so many of my readers are in other states or other countries. The reason is the same one that made me take up a career in personal training in the first place- to be able to help others. No man is an island, and I have been truly honored and blessed to have had so many truly prolific individuals in the fitness industry share their knowledge with me when I was starting out. Knowledge that helped shape me into who I am today. That being said, my writing is a way of giving back, in the hopes that it helps others achieve their goals as well in a world where so much of what we hear about diet, exercise and weight loss is more marketing and entertainment rather than science based facts. Thank you for reading and for the continued support of those of you who religiously share my articles and I look forward to another year of being able to be of some help.
