Xavier was a no-show at the gym yesterday. I also found out that there's a problem with the phone at the front desk counter which partially explains why I haven't been getting messages from parents and guardians. Maybe Xavier's mom tried to phone me and couldn't get through. Maybe no call was made at all. I don't know. But it's a concern when people start coming up missing right at the beginning of a new session. The other two new kids who signed up haven't shown yet.
A look through my old attendance rosters revealed that Damaris has been in the boxing program for a year. Sahia had to keep reminding her to get into her correct stance and as well as having to show her (for the umpteenth time) how to do push-ups correctly. I had to remind her to do the other floor exercises and stretches. Sahia chalked up Damaris' forgetfulness to the month-long break in-between the fall and winter session. However, I can't buy that excuse based on how long Damaris has been in the class. The look on Damaris' face usually says that she is not enthusiastic about being in the program. If Sahia or I don't constantly stand over her, Damaris will not push herself to train. I'm glad Sahia has more patience with her because my patience ran out some time ago.
Henry and David returned, and it was obvious they had been working out during the break. David especially showed some great improvements.
No teenagers showed up for class again. It's extremely rare for me to make courtesy calls anymore. "They will be in class," is a lie I've tired of hearing.
The best class this session appears to be the adult class where Leonna is the only student. We don't follow the exact schedule on the bulletin board. She's not planning to compete, so I try to tailor the workout to go along with her fitness goals. If had more adults in the class like Leonna that would help soften the blow of the issues already apparent in the first two classes of the day.
