The End Of An Era

On Wednesday, June 23, at 5:45 am, Steve McMahon took the microphone one last time and taught a fantastic Body Pump Class. His class, like his persona, was consistent, professional and filled with inspiration. For the past 8 years, Steve has been teaching Body Pump at the crack of dawn.

He has been adored for his words of wisdom he imparts to his students. "Today is Water Wednesday, so drink up!" "Three hours a week of pain for a lifetime of fitness is a small price to pay!" "We're Body Pumpers, we don't mind a little hard work!" These are just a few of the gems Steve used to tell his classes. He kept them on track, motivated and working hard. He was/is a wonderful role model.

An avid surfer, Steve often told me about his business partner who, although the same age, had never participated in any exercise and consequently was in poor health. While Steve is off planning his round the world surfing expedition, his poor partner can only look forward to a retirement filled with health care issues and pain.

Steve will still drop by Breathe when his schedule allows and if you get the opportunity to engage him in conversation, please do. You will be a better person for it.

We will miss you Steve, but we are all thankful that we had the privilege to know you. Enjoy your golden years; you deserve it! Thank you for all you brought to Breathe Fitness.
