The interviewer wants to see your personality and what drives you to succeed and help others. For a trainer to motivate others, the trainer needs to have something that inspires them. It could be that you are motivated to help others achieve their health and fitness goals, that you are motivated by working as a team, or that you love being creative and developing new training and nutrition programs. Be sure your answer is relevant to the job.

"I am motivated when I can see incredible changes in my clients through my coaching efforts. When I hear stories about how their lab work has changed for the better, and they can cancel certain medications, or participate in their first-ever 5k, or have the stamina to play with their kids, that inspires me to keep doing what I am doing. I am motivated every day I go to work."
