Fitnance Trainee - Jana Stockley

Hey everyone, my name is Jana Stockley. I’m currently studying my final year at Runcorn high School, and during my high school period I have recently received a traineeship at Fitnance. When I have some time left over from school and work I go for bike rides and runs, because those are the two best things I love to do. I also enjoy cross-country competitively, my main goal this year with the sporting side of life is to make it to Nationals for cross-country and shorter distance runs. The main reason I applied here at fitnance is because one I love fitness and two when I leave school I’m hoping to become a personal trainer. When I’m not at school or working I’m up at QE2 training With Frasier and Sharon on Monday’s and Wednesdays, we do a variety of training there such as fitness improvement and speed work.

I don’t do sport because I have to or because I may be good at it, I do it because I want to. This doesn’t mean I don’t go shopping or hang out with friends because I always make room for that. I try to keep a balance within school, work, sports and friends but I always try to keep the most important things my priority. It’s been great getting to know everyone here at fitnance you all seem like a great crew and I’m looking forward to working with use.

How much help is too much help?

My Grandfather did most things physical for my Grandma. As a result my Grandma's health went downhill. Are you really helping people by “making life easier for them”?

I just watched an old lady take 2 minutes to cross the road. Every step she took was progress. I felt sad for her. Not as sad though as if she couldn’t make it at all.
Should I have helped her? Or would I have been doing her a disservice by helping her? Would I have been contributing to her getting weaker by helping her?

I can’t know all the reasons my grandparents have aged differently. There are too many variables. I can’t know if it was environment, their diet, lifestyle, or genetics, but I do know that blaming randomness is too easy. The choices we make in our lives affect our future.

The training we’re doing today isn’t just about today.
EXERCISE IS GOOD!
