Why I joined the fitness industry

I started working at my local gym when I was 17. Initially it was the group fitness classes that drew me in; they were so energetic and the atmosphere was so contagious I just knew this is where I needed to be.  I was lucky enough that the instructors at my local gym be willing to take me under their wing and mentor me through my fitness studies.  I began to pave my own future in the fitness industry training as a certified Les Mills BODY PUMP and RPM instructor. At one stage I taught up to 4 classes per day at gyms all around Canberra.  I loved the flexibility of the work and the opportunity to meet so many people.  Soon after it was established I began working with TEAM Fitness and began working to build up my own client base within the company.  Once I began working 1-on-1 with my clients I realised just how much of an impact one person can have on your life. As a personal trainer I can change someone’s life.  Health and fitness is such a powerful tool in a person’s life and there’s no better job for me than then to be a motivator for people to build a better quality of life! The most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing my clients achieve their goals, and knowing just how much hard work has been put into achieving it.

Philosophy on life

Everyone is given the same amount of hours in each day and we ALL have the ability to do amazing things!   It’s important to be grateful for the opportunities you are given and to thank people who make your life easier along the way.  Humility is a very attractive trait in people, while ego and attitude isn’t!

 

Philosophy on training

There is no magic secret to getting the body of your dreams.  You need to WATCH what you EAT and make TRAINING a PRIORITY.

You only have yourself to answer to.
