MY SMART CAREER GOAL!

• I WILL BE A PERSONAL TRAINER BY 2020. I WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL IF I TAKE MY TIME AND GO TO UNIVERSITY TO GET ALL THE COURSES I NEED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PERSONAL TRAINER. I WILL HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL FOR 2 TO 4 YEARS LEARNING PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND NUTRITION. I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL BECAUSE I LIKE BEING IN THE GYM AND HELPING PEOPLE WITH THERE FITNESS.

COURSES NEEDED TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER!

• IN ORDER TO BECOME A PERSONAL TRAINER I MUST TAKE A GRADE 10 HEALTHY ACTIVE LIVING MALE EDUCATION COURSE (PPL2OM). I WILL NEED THIS COURSE SO THAT I UNDERSTAND EXERCISES AND HOW TO DO THEM PROPERLY. I SHOULD ALSO LOOK INTO GETTING A FOOD AND NUTRITION GRADE 10 COURSE AT TDSS SO THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT FOODS ARE HEALTHY FOR YOUR BODY.

A DAILY ROUTINE OF A PERSONAL TRAINER!

IN THE MORNINGS, A PERSONAL TRAINER MAY HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY IN ORDER TO GET TO THE FITNESS FACILITY THEY WORK AT IN TIME TO MEET THERE CLIENT. AFTER GETTING TO THE FACILITY/GYM AND MEET THERE CLIENT, THEY WILL SHOW THERE CLIENTS NEW EXERCISES AND MOTIVATE THEM AS THEY WORK THROUGH THEM. IT SEEMS THAT A PERSONAL TRAINER MIGHT BE IN THE GYM ALL DAY WITH MULTIPLE CLIENTS BUT THEY ALSO NEED TO SIT DOWN IN A OFFICE ON A COMPUTER CREATING GOALS FOR THEIR CLIENTS, THEY WILL ALSO MAKE THERE CLIENTS NUTRITION PLANS. A PERSONAL TRAINER HELPS THERE CLIENTS GET STRONGER. A PERSONAL TRAINER MIGHT HAVE TO WORK WEEKENDS IF THEY HAVE LOTS OF CLIENTS, IT DEPENDS ON WENT THERE CLIENTS HAVE TIME TO GO TO THE GYM. EARLY MORNINGS AND POSSIBLY LATE NIGHTS AT THE GYM IS WHAT IS IN A PERSONAL TRAINERS DAY AND I WOULD LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

WOULD A PERSONAL TRAINER BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME?

• I DEFINITELY THINK A PERSONAL TRAINER WOULD FIT ME. ALL OF MY INTEREST INCLUDE ACTIVE THINGS SUCH AS WORKING OUT AND STAYING IN SHAPE, HOCKEY, AND KAYAKING. AN APTITUDE OF MINE IS BEING FLEXIBLE, WITCH YOU NEED SO YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE EXERCISES TO CLIENTS. I BELIEVE THAT TO BE A GOOD PERSONAL TRAINER, YOU NEED TO HAVE A GREAT ATTITUDE SO YOU CAN CREATE A BOND WITH YOUR CLIENTS, SOME OF MY ATTITUDES ARE BEING HONEST, COMMITTED, HARDWORKING, AND TRUTHFUL. I THINK WITH ALL MY INTERESTS, SKILLS, APTITUDES, AND ATTITUDES, A PERSONAL TRAINER WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME.

WHAT DO I DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL TO GET INTO PERSONAL TRAINING?

• AFTER HIGH SCHOOL I CAN’T JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO A JOB OF BEING A PERSONAL TRAINER. I WILL NEED TO GO TO UNIVERSITY FOR SOME PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES, I WILL NEED TO LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH CLIENTS AND LEARN HOW TO USE A COMPUTER SO I CAN MAKE PLANS FOR CLIENTS. MOST IMPORTANT I WILL NEED TO LEARN MUSCLES AND HOW TO EXERCISE EACH MUSCLE PROPERLY WITHOUT DAMAGING THEM.

DO I HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER? • THIS YEAR, THERE ARE 2296 JOB OPENINGS IN CANADA, AND THERE ARE

3410 SEEKERS LOOKING FOR JOBS AS A PERSONAL TRAINER. IN NEW LISKEARD THERE AREN’T VERY NICE FITNESS FACILITIES, SO I MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE SOMEWHERE WITH A BIGGER FACILITY. I HAVE HAD A PERSONAL TRAINER IN MY PAST AND THEY SEEM LIKE THEY ARE HAPPY DOING WHAT THEY DO, THEY GET TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND HELP THEM GET STRONGER, BUT THEY DON’T JUST HELP THEM WITH THERE FITNESS, I FEEL THAT A PERSONAL TRAINER CREATES A BOND WITH THERE CLIENTS AND BECOME GREAT FRIENDS OUT OF THE GYM AS WELL.
