Question 21 of 35

Why did you decide to become a personal trainer?

"I used to work out at a gym by myself, wandering around trying different machines, and it felt kind of pointless. I started going to workout classes and eventually began to train. My personal trainer taught me more about my body than I ever thought I could learn at the time. I became interested in doing the same thing for others, coaching them and helping them achieve their goals as my trainer helped me."
