Welcome
to South Coast Surf and Fitness! My name is Mindy South.
As
a young girl I always had a dream of having my own business.
I just did not know what kind that would be. For the last 15
years surfing has been a true love of mine. It gives me peace
whenever everything else in my life is chaotic. As I began to
get older I became interested in finding ways to improve my
surfing hence the working out began.
I
started doing a little cardio and realized the energy it provided
me to surf. I moved on to strength training and stability exercises
and boy did that make a difference! I lived on the beach in
Surfside and surfed and exercised as often as I could in between
raising two kids.
After
working at a Montessori school I realized that I had a knack
for teaching with patience and promoting learning in a caring
environment. After many hours spent in the gym I decided to
get my certification as a personal trainer. I truly believe
that exercise promotes longevity and enhances the quality of
a person’s life. It also gives the mental edge to handle
everyday life situations. After receiving my certification,
I decided to specialize in training women in their home or office
.It not only avoids gym fees but also gives my clients the one
on one privacy that enables them to get a full workout without
interruption.
While
promoting my P/T business surfing always came up in conversation.
I was often asked to teach them or their children how to surf.
South Coast Surf School was born! My son and I completed
our Lifeguard, CPR,First Aid, and AED certification together.
Can
I compare the rewards of each business? The answer is no. I
absolutely love every aspect of my ‘jobs". Teaching
surfing and doing surf birthday parties is instant gratification.
Every student that I inspire carries it over in their life.
Personal training is more of a gradual change. Seeing my client
reach a fitness goal that they thought was unattainable is a
joy. Either way I know that I am giving my clients and students
the tools for a better and healthier way of life.
Life
is too short.... so live it healthy, happy and free.
