FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
NASM-CPT (Personal Trainer) - NASM-CES (Corrective Exercise Specialist) - AFAA-GX (Group Exercise Instructor)
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved fitness. I was a regular attendee of a fitness center at Ralston Purina Company in the early 1980's and had a desk job. Someone asked me to teach GroupX classes, so I got certified. When we had children, it was the perfect opportunity to leave the corporate world and teach classes part time. The next step was to get my personal training certification (now I have several) and make this a full time career.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure you hire someone with a nationally accredited certification. And, at least, a few years experience.
