Please take a moment to read this powerful testimony I received from all fellow Warrior. Dearest Tchicaya, I am writing to you to express my deepest gratitude to you, the community you created derived from people that we know as Warrior Fitness, and the individuals that make up this community. Without your dreams and passion, the following would not have come to pass. When I first came to Warrior Fitness back in February, I walked in and the first thing that happened was that you gave me a hug. At the moment I felt very uncomfortable and thought to myself, “why the heck does some big ass black man think he can hug me?”, I was there to see if this gym was going to be a fit for me and my son and this did not leave a comfy feeling in me. I now realize that you most likely saw the pain and hurt in me and chose to give me hug…to let me know that even though it may feel uncomfortable sometimes we all need to feel something that we have not felt before in order to get past it and move on to greatness; which is what I did. At that point in my life I had decided that I could not be in my marriage anymore and I had filed for divorce. And you are completely right when you say that if you take your marriage problems outside of the marriage it is a step towards destruction. During our separation and divorce process, I began to confide in a friend whom became my lover, I talked about all the bad things to my close friends and it made it even easier to give up completely in my marriage. There was also the fact that my ex did the same thing and now he had a lover too. In April the divorce was final. I began dating, going out, having fun with friends, and just enjoying my time as a single woman. Some time during all this you began talking about marriage during your workouts…I would roll my eyes and think when I get a husband then I can apply this lesson. What I did not know was that you had planted a seed. A seed that began to grow, watered by your continued words about marriage and fertilized by the thoughts, ideas and actions of many of the Warriors. Warrior families and couples that show so much unconditional commitment to each other; it lit a fire in me. I began to feel jealousy and anger towards my exs relationship that seemed to be getting serious. In one of your recent posts you wrote “Follow my lead or die single and miserable cause no one wants to be alone. Trust me!” This hit me hard! I knew that I still loved my ex, and I knew that he still loved me…but I did not want to cause trouble with his happiness in his relationship. I was not sure I could forgive and forget the past hurt…besides I feared rejection…and I did not want to ask him for an opportunity to reconcile. But you kept on talking about the importance of forgiveness, marriage and family, watering that seed you had planted in me. I finally could not contain myself anymore. I had an overwhelming feeling in my heart to find the courage to ask him to give our relationship and our family an opportunity to start fresh together. This was not easy, but I knew that I had no time left, if I didn’t take action now it was gone forever! I did get the courage to forgive all past and ask for a chance to renew our relationship…and he said yes! Our family now has an opportunity to be together again because of you and the Warrior community that instills family values. The other day you said after a workout that we are here to save marriages… you have the vision and took action by using your powerful words, and it is reality. Warrior Fitness is saving marriages…RESULTS DON’T LIE! Love and gratitude always! Warriors 4 life!!!
