I have been training at Body Mind Systems in Stoneham for a little over 4 years. The training has had a significant positive impact on my life and I think other people can benefit from the training as well.The training has helped me get physically and mentally stronger through the various exercises, forms, movements, and developmental drills we do in and outside class. As I have built up my strength I have also built up my confidence. That additional confidence has resulted in significant life changes such as a new higher paying job with increased flexibility, moving into an assisting / teaching role related to my training, and most importantly and most exciting, having my first child!In addition to the training helping build my confidence, it also is teaching me how important communication is in our lives. First, our internal communication, in the form of identifying what is important in our lives and then taking action to achieve those things. Also, how important it is for us to keep our word and finish what we start. If we can learn to improve our internal communication we can learn to take more action and have more success in the areas of our lives that we choose to focus our actions. Second, how important our external communication with our family, friends, and our coworkers actually is. The better we are able to articulate and communication in those various situations, the more we can connect with each other, understand each other, and help each other achieve our collective goals.The above improvements are things I have seen continue to grow over the course of my training, but the benefits start the moment you come in and try a class. Trying something new takes willpower, coming in to try a class is a great way to take the first step to building the willpower you will need to achieve the things that you want in life.The instructors push all the students to get better every day, with each exercise, and consistently hold us accountable on the level of effort we bring to class. As a newer student, training with other students who are pushing themselves to get better (and seeing instructors pushing themselves as well) helps provide extra willpower in the lesson, which we can then learn to use outside of the class. The extra willpower I have gained through the training has helped me to make better decisions and form better habits which have helped me lead a healthier and more fulfilling life.Overall, the last 4 years of training (and now assisting / teaching) has helped me become a better version of myself and has taught me there is still a lot of additional room for growth. I really enjoy the fact that I am still learning something new almost every day. I am also grateful that the instructors take such a personal interest in the students and are willing to be strong and hold us accountable – it’s through that accountability that we become better.Based on my experience, I highly recommend Body Mind Systems to anyone that wants to become a better version of themselves and with that, be in a better place to help and interact positively with the people they interact with on a daily basis.
