It began when my children one by one got married and left home. Soon I was the only one and life was very unexciting. I wanted to go back to the role at one point but all positions were full time. Reading about exercises I came across an advertisement about courses in personal training. I enrolled at the local gym and loved it so much that I decided to do the class in personal fitness. I was soon at the similar weight that I was before I had the babies. With all this new found determination, I was raring to go.

Sizing is not really an issue if you want to become a personal trainer. Enthusiasm and encouragement for others is all you have to have. An establishment located in the same town as me was holding courses every month. When I enrolled for the course, I was highly anxious but within minutes I had settled into the class. It turns out the examination was nothing to worry about and the whole class passed it. I was positive though as it proved my age was not going to hold me back. The next step was to find premises to put my new-found skills into exercise. This trade also keeps me in demand seven days a week, so if you are struggling to find a busy trade consider becoming a personal trainer.
