Becoming a Personal Trainer at My New Health Club

Becoming a Personal Trainer at a new health club is always exciting.

Since April 1st of 2008, I've been personally training clients independently; in their houses and in outdoor boot camps.


After moving to a new city (Manhattan Beach, CA), I thought to myself, why not go back to something that is both fun and allows me to meet tons of new people in my community.

So, I've taken a personal training position with a large health club... 120,000 square feet to be exact.

It has all the bells and whistles.

A pool, 2 basketball courts, a huge cafe with lots of healthy eating choices, a "yoga wing" to help keep the usual weightlifting noises to a minimum, and almost everything else you can imagine.

It's a beautiful place to workout and to work on becoming a personal trainer.

One of the factors that attracted me most, in addition to the above-mentioned items, is that this health club employs over 50 Personal Trainers -- all nationally certified and most degreed.

A lot of Personal Trainers new to the industry might think that this would prevent them from building their business for several reasons.

They might think that there would be too much competition or that the Personal Trainers with the most tenure would prevent them from creating a business foundation for themselves.

That thought process couldn't be farther from the truth.

When you are surrounded by that many successful Personal Trainers, especially those with education and personal trainer certifications from reputable organizations, you can't help but feed off their energy and enthusiasm.

This type of environment makes things better for both the Personal Trainer and for the clients who benefit from an increased sharing of ideas, techniques, and exercise programming among the Personal Trainers.

When you are passionate about something, you talk about it.

That exchange of thoughts makes every Personal Trainer better.

As soon as we pick up on something new, we try it for ourselves, make sure it works effectively, then we pass that new knowledge on to our clients.

This is one of the ways that we continue to help our clients get lasting results.

It's been about a year since I've been in the gym atmosphere and working in a close, athletic environment with 50 other Personal Trainers has reignited my passion and has me pumped every time I set foot in the gym.

Becoming a Personal Trainer is one of the most exciting choices I've made in my life.

And what is even more exciting is being able to share my fitness knowledge with men, women, and children who are becoming more conscious of the impact their own health and fitness will have on their lives today and in their future.

Tuesdays with Morrie and Personal Training...

So, I finally got around to reading the book - Tuesdays with Morrie.

It was a very quick read (just an afternoon) and I highly suggest picking up a copy if you haven't read it already.

Without spoiling the intimate details of the book, I can tell you this; the author's main focus is on the lesson of living each day to the fullest.

It's true that we get caught up in the speed of life and sometimes take important things for granted. And, I wholeheartedly agree that each of us should take time each day to reflect on the people and the things that are important to us and that we are thankful for.

What I hadn't realized right away was that adopting this type of attitude is contagious.....in a good way, actually, in a GREAT way!

I look for inspiration every day, whether it is in watching friends and family accomplish tasks they never thought possible; strangers helping strangers in times of crisis as when Hurricane Ike struck Texas; or just in seeing the random acts of kindness that exist in all of us.

What's very important to realize is that you are most likely someone else's inspiration.

You may have inspired someone at work. You may have inspired your son or daughter. Maybe you even inspired a complete stranger.

The point is that you made a difference.

Being a fitness professional, I've heard numerous stories throughout the years from my clients of how they helped someone else to change their lives through exercise. Once they realize the power they have, it seems to become contagious for them as well.

I've seen entire families suffering from obesity and I've seen one person in that family make a committment to themselves to change. That change almost always spreads to the rest of the family and is so important for those of our younger generation to see.

If you're inspired and would like to make a change for yourself, our Personal Trainers are ready to help. Or, better yet, if you'd like to help create change for others and want to learn how to become a personal trainer, we are ready to show you the way. Learn more at My Personal Trainer School.

Thanks for the inspiration!
