“Retraining as a personal trainer from my previous career as a primary school teacher was one of the best decisions I ever made. Each day is varied and I am eager to see how business develops in years to come. The Level 3 Certificate fitted in perfectly with the school summer holidays making my new career change simple.Thanks for everything.”
“I left school without many qualifications but with a love of sport and all things fitness! I realised I could turn this into my career and trained as a Fitness Instructor. From there the sky’s the limit. Qualifying as a Personal Trainer has opened so many doors. Today I train clients inside and outside of the gym – its great doing a job that gives so much back to helping others.”
“Having switched my career from marketing to a Personal Trainer – I was daunted at first to take such a step. However, now I am working with clients and making progress I feel the sacrifice has all been worthwhile.”
