I started my journey in the fitness industry 18 years ago after graduating with a Diploma and Bachelor in Sport and Exercise. Initially working as a gym instructor in a local gym, I eventually started my training business and concurrently commenced a teaching career. I have now been a trainer and assessor for 14 years assisting more than 300 students complete their fitness qualifications.
The most enjoyable thing is teaching and working with students who are just as passionate about the health and fitness industry as I am.
Our hands-on approach ensures students are job-ready once they graduate. Having access to a fully functional student gym allows students to gain practical experience. They walk away with the skills and knowledge to create client-focused programs.
The most important skills are passion, willingness to go the extra mile for your clients, and providing an enjoyable session that meets client expectations.
Society is becoming more aware of the importance of health and fitness for overall wellness. Nowadays, fitness programs have a more holistic approach and client expectations are more demanding. By providing students with a greater understanding of mental and physical wellbeing, they are more confident in their abilities to work with a variety of clients.
Working in the fitness industry does not bring about short-term success. Just like someone’s weight loss journey, it takes dedication and a long-term commitment for ultimate success.
