Hello, all.

I have been in the financial industry for over 11 years and am currently a Financial Advisor. It can be a lonely and demanding role, but I have managed to have a fairly set workout schedule and exercise about 6x a week, but never less than 4 unless ill or injured (usually shin splints).

I enjoy HIIT, circuit, body weight training, LISS, beginner's yoga, beginner's pilates, have done a few 5ks, and am starting to dabble in strength training and possibly crossfit.

I am seeking out professionals of any industry, age, and gender to connect with and support each other on those not-so-easy days where no one understands and you simply can't risk your reputation by being anything other than poised and looking well put together in the 'real' world.

If this sounds like you, feel free to start a dialogue on this thread and/or send a friend request.

    Close to 20 years in HR. I left the corporate world last spring and started my own consulting business. I also teach at a local college.

    A few years ago I was in the best shape of my life - running, lifting. I did two half’s that year, probably ran 20-30 miles a week. And then I got injured. And had surgery. And a bunch of other stuff. And it all went downhill from there. The last job I had really prohibited me from getting much exercise other than the odd walk at lunch so I’ve been really hitting it hard since I left there. I’m still in the “lose the extra weight and get my fitness back” stage but I’m getting there.

    20 years in banking for me. Prioritizing my fitness time before the sunrise makes all the difference in the world for me.
