Okay not exactly but it’s there or there about 😅
Joking aside, today does bring about a very special day for me personally.
It marks a significant day in my life, one, where I went to a job interview that would forever change my life.
A job interview that everyone within my circle said
‘Oh you won’t make it in the fitness industry’
Or my personal favourite
‘No one needs a personal trainer’
9 years, 15k hours on the gym floor, it’s fair to say that having a coach is needed.
So with that, I want to share 15 lessons I’ve learnt within my time in quite possibly, the best job a former shop floor assistant at Homebase could ask for…
1. Don’t compare yourself to others
2. It’s alright to not be great in every session
3. Be proud of just showing up
4. Know the difference between a coach, & a trainer (the two aren’t the same).
5. Consistency over intensity
6. Always ask questions. No matter how stupid it may sound or who you might annoy/offend.
7. Movement over weight…every single time.
8. You’re not going to ruin your fitness with one bad day
9. Breath
10. Be thankful you’re able to move in ways millions of others would dream for
11. Quick fixes don’t fix anything.
12. Your core is more than just crunches & twists
13. If you sit at a desk all day, train your posterior
14. If you’re unaware, you’re uneducated.
15. Be good & help others walking into the gym. Don’t be a dick.
If I think of me, I’ll share another time 😁
Cheerio
