MAKE THE CHANGEMAKE THE CHANGE

I truly am living my dream right now! Living in paradise and doing something I absolutely love. I started at a recreation centre as a customer service representative and fell in love with training and fitness.

As most Kiwis do, I moved across the ditch to try my luck in Australia, to Townsville in tropical North Queensland, where my Mum lives. As soon as I arrived I landed a job at a brand new gym as a sales manager and started the Fitness Institute’s PT course. Everything fell into place with my positive attitude and outlook. I lived in Townsville for nearly 2 years and when a fantastic opportunity came about to combine fitness and travel, I applied for a personal training job on board a cruise ship and got it! I flew to Canada where I started my adventure on board. I travelled though the east coast of Canada, Europe and the Caribbean.

And here I am now, back in what I call home and paradise – Whitianga, running my own business – Infinite Fitness. I’m not a bikini model or body builder and I would be lying if I said I have never struggled with weight and body image issues. I’m just a normal person who just loves to exercise and stay as healthy as can be.

Fitness Institute has excellent instructors with their knowledge and flexible hours. On the course, I met some good mates and was welcomed into a great gym environment. We had ample one on one time with the instructors when needed.

After graduating from Fitness Institute in Juy 2012, I went on to become a PTI instructor in the Australian Defence Force. Since then, I moved to Sydney to work as a Personal Trainer at Vision PT. After gaining more work experience, I set up my business, Tactical Fitness, which focuses on individual and call out sessions, online programming, military specific sessions and healthy eating advice.

The training programs have been designed to specialise in weight loss, improve fitness levels and promote working outside your physical and mental comfort zones. I would highly recommend Fitness Institute to anyone wanting to become a Personal Trainer.

I have always had a passion for Fitness. When I got back into boxing training after my accident, I wanted more and more to become a Personal Trainer. My Certificate 3 in Fitness allows me to run group fitness classes and with my Certificate IV in Fitness, I’m able to own my own business and work as a Personal Trainer.

Dean GilbertPersonal Trainer at Dynamic Core Personal Traininghttps://fitnessinstitute.com.au/dean-gilbert/

Thanks to the Fitness Institute, I am now a qualified personal trainer. My journey started in January of 2016 where a work colleague, who ran a boot camp outside of our core working hours, inspired me to want to do something a little di�erent. Being in the military I knew I would find it hard to complete my fitness certificates whilst also maintaining a full-time job but after speaking with Fitness Institute, I felt as though I would definitely be able to achieve this goal.

I first came across the Fitness Institute during the FILEX exhibition in Sydney where I was lucky to be o�ered a place in the Certificate III & IV in Fitness. During the course, I received some great support from the sta� who displayed a high level of knowledge. Since completing my qualifications, I have been working as a full time Personal Trainer with Goodlife Health Club where I do one on one personal training, small group training and outdoor training. My business, Aurora Fitness and Health, has been able to grow over the past couple of years and I feel I have been able to gain a substantial amount of experience and learning which is ongoing. A lot of my career has been spent in the government and corporate world, but I have since left the steady 9-5 life behind to follow my dreams and passion and have not looked back. Soon, I will be moving into my own studio!

I was one of the lucky PT students to be able to complete my course with a great group of fellow students in 2010. Since the course, I have competed in my own figure competition and helped to train others to prepare for competitions as well.

I have furthered my list of skills by becoming a Les Mills RPM, Body Pump and Body Balance Instructor. I love my job, my clients and all of the gyms that I have worked at.

If being a PT is what your passion is, then look no further than the Fitness Institute!

For 7 years now, I have lived and breathed my love for the fitness industry and without the knowledge, dedication, availability and approachable sta�, I wouldn’t be where I am today!

Just do it!
