Hi, I'm Briony. 

I'm doing a traineeship in Certificate 4 Fitness at Fitnance. I had 8 hours of work experience last Monday (the 18th of March) and have started my traineeship today. I am really enjoying my experience working at Fitnance and i know it will help me with my future endeavours. I am currently enrolled at John Paul College, grade 12. I play netball, and love to keep fit. I play netball for the Golden South Jaguars and have played netball since i was 4 years old. I have many reasons for my interest in working at Fitnance as i hope you pursue my goals in my future of becoming either a Physical Education Teacher (senior school) as well as playing top level netball. However in the mean time i would like to become a fully qualified Personal Trainer and eventually start my own gym. My goal of becoming at Personal Trainer will be highly influence by my Traineeship at Fitnance and by getting that work experience and being educated correctly, i am really looking forward to becoming a fully qualified Personal Trainer and helping people pursue their fitness goals. My traineeship at Fitnance has been amazing so far and i am really looking forward to continuing working in such a friendly and educational environment.
