Be careful not to get caught up in storytelling and stay focused on the goal! You want to tell them relevant information that will help you nail the interview and show them you're the best fit for the job. Try to keep your response within a couple minutes to leave time for further questions. You can keep it brief. You have the whole interview to talk about yourself, so don't go overboard. Relax! Remember those certifications and class you've aced. Be yourself and talk about your passion for health and wellness.


Here is an example answer, "I am passionate about helping people, which is why I decided to continue my education to become a fitness instructor. I am active and love to try any sport or type of workout. In my spare time I read up on the latest research about nutrition and ways to improve strength and flexibility that are accessible to my clients."
