I get a lot of satisfaction from helping women. My oldest client has been 89 years old. I currently work with a client who's 82 and several of my clients have told me how much their mental health has improved as a result of working out.
Pamela Grimm's story is one of remarkable transformation and resilience. In this episode of 'A Woman in Recovery', Pamela shares how she found a new lease on life through fitness, even while navigating the challenges of addiction recovery. At a time when most people are winding down their careers, Pamela took a bold step and decided to pursue her passion for fitness by becoming a certified personal trainer.
She didn't just stop there; she also earned a Zumba instructor certification, all while working full-time as a program director at a women's outpatient treatment center in San Francisco. However, the job soon became uncomfortable, prompting her to take a leap of faith and change careers entirely. Pamela started teaching Zumba classes and boot camp-style workouts, eventually becoming a mobile personal trainer who focuses on women aged 50 and older.
Her unique approach to fitness, which emphasizes mental health and positive thinking, has not only transformed her own life but also the lives of her clients. Many have reported improved mental health and overall well-being as a result of working with her. This episode is a testament to the power of reinvention and the incredible impact that fitness can have on one's recovery journey.
Whether you're looking for inspiration to pursue your own passion or seeking guidance on how to reinvent yourself, Pamela's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
