Me as a Personal Trainer, and my views of helping people become happy and healthy

I have fallen in love with fitness through obstacle course racing a couple of years ago, and has been loving it ever since as it always offers new opportunities and challenges. I was an average child during my school years, someone who did not like PE classes, and struggled with body image and eating. For a very long time I did not know how to get out of unhealthy habits, or how to love myself and understand what health is.

My main goal is to be that bridge for people who feel a bit lost and do not know where to start. This includes not just their workouts, but their eating, sleeping, social and many other habits too. I believe in a holistic approach if it comes to our health, and I always aim to help people find something they love in it, so they can stick with it for the long run.

During my short stay at The Gym Group, I had the chance to engage with members and learn about their reason for attending a gym, as well as their struggles and what they enjoyed there. Starting to build my business and offering one to one personal training allowed me to engage in a deeper level, and create personalised fitness plans. I also offered nutritional advice, habit planning and weekly check ins as part of my package. I was touched to see my first few clients achieve results, and see how happy it made them.

Moreover, during my student years at Arizona State University, I was encouraged to reach out to people working in different fields to learn about how they work, so that I can gain a deeper understanding of healthcare. During these school projects I, for example had the opportunity to meet with professionals working with alternative medicines and healthcare forms, as well as people recovering from addiction, and workers treating people with addiction. These experiences also added a level of personal touch to everything, and showed me that every case is unique, and as such, should be treated as that.

I believe I would be ideal for this role because I have been doing my degree fully online, therefore I have a great understanding on how to conduct business like this, as well as plan time effectively. My courses allowed me to experience different styles of learning and teaching, as well as engage with Professors and other students through the internet.

Thank you for considering my application.
