It's been a long time since you've seen a post from me, but fitness hasn't been far from my mind. Quite the contrary! At the start of 2012 my passion for fitness and my career path literally collided in a very exciting way. I began working at the Perth campus of the Australian Institute of Fitness.
My role as a Career Scout at the Institute involves a dynamic daily mix of business development, relationship management and building brand awareness. Interaction with local businesses and industry partners helps me further learn about the fitness world, and I'm loving becoming a part of it!
I'm the first to admit I'm a striver. I always want to do more, learn more, achieve more and be more involved in everything I do. Which is why I've already commenced my Personal Trainer / Master Trainer part time (evenings & weekend) course at the Australian Institute of Fitness. My experience of the comprehensive course so far has included both face-to-face and online learning; anatomy; physiology; communication skills; hands on experience in the gym; fitness assessments and teamwork - and that's just in the first few weeks!
Evidentially fitness something I'm interested in and passionate about. However just as importantly, completing the course at the Institute will really strengthen my understanding of the industry and empower me to do my current job to the best of my ability. At the end of the course myself and other Friends (classmates) will attain Certificate III and Certificate IV in Fitness. I'm learning new skills daily and, as the title of this post indicates, education really does create a firm foundation. I see this as a big step towards success!
The Australian Institute of Fitness is the first and largest training provider for the Australian fitness industry, and its training programs provide the most popular career pathways in the industry. To learn more about the Institute and the great range of qualifications on offer check out:
