My niche in Fitness has grown from the clients that I’ve had in the past. There are so many types of clients that you’ll come across whilst being a person trainer and here are some…
- People who want to get in crazy shape for a holiday
- People who just want to be battered for 60 mins
- People training for performance in a specific sport
- People who lack in self belief and low in confidence
- Some people just love to have company whilst in the gym
- Some people need motivation and accountability.
As time goes on you start to find what type of clients you prefer and want to work with. Luckily for me I have a wide range of clients in all of these areas which is great because it keeps my job exciting.
What gives me the most reward?
I personally thrive on seeing people in a low place knowing that if they listen to me I WILL turn their lives around, funny saying it but in a consultation I can usually size up on what type of client their going to be within a few questions. I love not only getting people into shape but watching individuals grow in self belief and confidence, I love seeing their personalities change and make them feel they’ve invested in themselves.
How can exercise help depression?
All of this information is from personal experiences.
I know when thing’s aren’t going so well in life it’s hard to get yourself out of a hole that you think will never end. Taking that leap of faith into something brand new is usually a huge step in the right direction. The reason why I find exercise is so is because you can invest so much time into yourself and you reap endless benefits from it…
- You feel more energised and active.
- You feel more productive in other areas of life.
- You get in better shape and feel more confident.
- You feel like you’ve found an outlet to get rid of daily stresses.
- You’ll become an all round better person.
Don’t get me wrong this isn’t 100% guaranteed way to happiness but I know its a great place to start.
Having seen people blossom into different people and get in shape it’s clear to me that exercise means so much more than just get a 6 pack for summer. I know from personal experience being a skinny self conscious kid that gym pretty much turned my life around and I know for a fact I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for training.
Spend some time obsessing and investing in yourself and I promise other thing’s will just naturally fall into place.
