Summary
I’m a Level 3 qualified Personal Trainer with three years of study in Sport and Exercise at a sports college. I've had a passion for fitness from a young age, and love helping others improve their health and confidence. While working at Sainsbury’s, I’ve been training people part-time on a personal basis, which has confirmed that this is the career I want to pursue. I’m now looking for the opportunity to grow as a PT and learn within a gym setting.
