G'day, Andrew here. 3 Weeks ago i started my cert 3 Fitness here at Fitnance. So far its been great and I've learned a lot about what it's like to work at a gym. My day includes taking care of the gym and making sure it's in top condition and assisting people so they can get the most out of their workouts. Coming here has taught me that personal training isn't all about heavy lifting which could come as a surprise to some. So far i'm having a good time and hope to learn a whole lot more during my time here at Fitnance.
Hi, I'm Ola ! I'm doing a traineeship in Certificate 3 Fitness at Fitnance. I had 8 hours of work experience on Monday 18th and I loved it. I had a feel of everything here, from filing and completing any admin work as well as helping other customers with their workout while keeping myself fit and healthy. Although I am not thinking of pursuing a career as a personal trainer, I know that having the knowledge to keeping myself fit will assist me in the future when trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I will also be able to help other people, friends and family to stay on track. Overall, I thought there is a really friendly environment at Fitnance and even though there is a lot to learn, it's really worth it.

Hey, my name's Kyall. I'm doing a Certificate 3 in Fitness at Fitnance. I came in on a Monday to do work experience to see what it was like and I loved it, luckily they liked me and were willing to give me the traineeship. I've done work experience trying other thing's such as a mechanic, plumber and landscaping but I enjoyed fitnance the most. The reason I wanted to give it a go was because working out and being fit and healthy is an interest of mine, so why not make it a part of your lifestyle.
