Why have you become a trainer:After retiring with over 30 years in the Fire Service, I wanted to do something I have always had an interest in - health and fitness. I enjoy sports and working out and like helping others learn how they too can improve their health and fitness through strength training, aerobics, flexibility, and proper nutrition. I want to make a little money doing something I enjoy and hope will help others change their lives for the better.
What in your opinion is the biggest mistake people make while working out:Many people have never learned proper form for exercises, and do not know how to combine aerobics, strength training, nutrition, and flexibility training into an effective system to meet their goals. Most people do not set realistic and measurable goals, and thus can not attain what is not properly defined. I help to develop goals and teach clients how to be successful. Some people just have no plan on how to involve themself in fitness, so I help them with proper guidance.
In general, please describe your experience:I have always been involved in sports and fitness activities. In High School and College I played tennis. Work as a fire fighter was physically challenging at times. I am an avid runner, having completed a marathon. I have also been involved in triathlons, and completed a half ironman competition last year. Since retiring I have begun doing personal training, with short job in gym, but now doing In-Home training that allows me to provide better individualized training to my clients.
