http://robzulkoski.posterous.com

I want to thank all of you who signed up and participated in the American Lung Association Climb Tampa 2010.  A 42 story climb up the Bank of America. What a fantastic day it was. Great temperatures, professionally organized and great fun for a great cause.

The official results are now in and the RobZFitness Team of Davie Ferraro, Wes Smith and Rob Zulkoski won the overall 1^st Place award this year.

Davie Ferraro took overall 2^nd place while Wes Smith (RobZFitness – Tampa Head Trainer) came in overall at 7^th.  Sam Kicak came in at #4 overall for all females today.  My biggest surprise for all trainers goes out to Taylor Green.  For someone who doesn’t train for endurance events I was really surprised to see Taylor do this well.  As for me, I can only say that I will try to do better next year and sorry for making the Overall Team Award so close.  My bad!

Here are your overall Team and Individual award winners.

I specially thanks goes out to Jamie Lee Kahns who was the event sponsor of the 42 Story Climb that benefits the American Lung Association.  This event was one of the most organized races I have ever been around.  Of course, thanks to all the local firefighters who participated today.  As hard as the climb was for the climbers you all competed in your full gear.  You all are some of the bravest people around.  Way to represent and show your true characters.

Before I forget I must mention that by far the most impressive and nicest team that I met today was Buns-A-Blazin’.  They were some of the most friendly people and I am thrilled to have competed against them.

All OFFICIAL RESULTS can be found right here http://bit.ly/bgxuVq I will post all RobZFitness times as soon as I get them.

Congratulations again to all RobZFitness team members for giving your best efforts today! I can’t thank all of you enough for your fund-raising efforts and having the ability to climb those steps as fast as you did.  Many of you could not have climbed as well months ago.

Sam Kicak

I’m originally from the small town of LaGrange, Ohio but have been living in Valrico for the past 18 years. I graduated from Durant High School in 2005 and in May I will be a proud graduate of the University of Tampa with a bachelors degree in Exercise Science, Adult Fitness. I recently became certified for personal training through ACE and I am also AFAA certified for group fitness.

Throughout high school I was very active. I was involved in cheerleading and dance and was also a competitive swimmer for 7 years.  I knew that fitness was important to me and was blessed when I realized that I could make it my career. I started teaching group fitness in 2008 at Shapes and Campo YMCA. I have taught Step, Body Sculpting, Gliding and Kickboxing. I then started personal training in 2009. I love the opportunity to work with others and experience their positive changes along with them.

I am a member of Bell Shoals Baptist church and in my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Once I graduate I plan to continue to train for RobZFitness and pursue further education as a Clinical Exercise Specialist.

I have known Rob for quite a few years and am very excited to be a part of his team. I firmly believe in the program Rob has created and know it is the best, healthiest way to see results. I think that it should take work to achieve something you really want and achieving health and fitness is no exception. It does take work to achieve your goals but anyone and everyone is capable of doing so.
