Every 2 years I have to earn 20 Continuing Education Units or Credits in order to maintain my Certification valid. The course has to be relevant to Health and Fitness.

In 2011, I took an Exercise Science course with Dr. Anthony Abbott at the Fitness Institute International in Boca Raton, FL. I also have to renew my CPR-AED Certification before it expires.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Growing up in Romania, I was surrounded by Sports. I was very active and I played Soccer, Tennis, Basketball and took Karate lessons. After I finished 7th grade someone suggested to go the Gym because I was to skinny for my height. I got set up with a Personal Trainer that taught me what to do and how to do it. I fell in love with Fitness because I started to see muscles that I didn't have before. Also, I loved how I felt after the workout and I still do, to this day. Soon after, my friends saw the shape I got from working out and asked me if I could train them. I said: Sure! Come to the Gym with me! Some of them, still train to this day because of me. That's how I started my Career as a Personal Trainer. It was 1995. I never stopped training ever since. When I moved to US in 2005, I was working out in the Gym, I saw Personal Trainers on the floor training Clients and I had an epiphany. I was like...This is what I used to do back in Romania. I used to train my friends. This is what I want to do for a living! I want to be a Personal Trainer! I got the necessary credentials and started working as a Personal Trainer since 2008. In 2012 I went in Business for myself and now I train Clients in the privacy of their own home, community gym or parks if someone prefers training outdoors. The Fitness journey never ends, and I always look for ways to improve myself and the lives of my clients.
