Personal Qualities Of Personal Trainers

The profession that I am interested in is an Athletic Trainer. I have chosen this career because it is something that I have recently become passionate about within the last two years. I have never been the kind of person to struggle with weight, however after having my 3rd and last child, weight has become an issue. I mention my personal struggle to give insight on why I have chosen an Athletic Trainer. This profession’s main goal is physical fitness. As a trainer you become responsible for another person’s physical active lifestyle. Assisting clients from injury to recovery, evaluating their bodies and advising the individual what is best. Athletic Trainers has many responsibilities. AT’s are professionals in the health care world who mainly caters to athletes. An AT however isn’t limited to just athletes. They work with just about anyone. Ages ranging from a child to an adult. Different skill and jobs, people such as soldiers, high school athletes, and professional athletes.

As the famous bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger once said, “Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.” During my 3 years of training, I learned much about what it takes to make an out of shape person to a healthy and fit person with just the right decisions and knowledge. For instance, I learned the importance of consistency, in which in order to be actively fit and healthy, there must be consistency. As a young fitness fanatic, I

There are many great jobs in the world. Most people like jobs with benefits afterwards. Some people just like to help others. It would even be cool if a person can travel during their job. Yes, a couple of jobs that have those qualities. Being an Athletic Training is one of them. It is always going to be a need for one. Being an Athletic Trainer one will be successful, because one will mostly always be able to find a job, because one will a chance to travel and learn, because one will always have a good salary.

This behavior change project has become a huge part of my everyday life. I lost sight of how important staying in shape affects my overall mental state along with my physical well-being. Having a life that consists of so many activities such as going to school, working, and maintaining a full and happy relationship with the people I care about is hard to balance with just making time for myself. That is why keeping this three day a week workout regime over the past five weeks has been so important; it made me realize that I can make time to focus on just working on myself, and in turn, improve all other aspects of my life. Realizing of course that there are many people in this world that have real life health problems that they seek professional help for. These changes in their lives require a system or a theory that must be applied to develop a strategic an organized way to regulate or change their behavior.

Personal trainers are one of the areas that help with marketing. Having a good amount of certified. expert level trainers, and the satisfaction or results a client gets, help with a word of mouth. Having a good word of mouth brings in new customers which mean new members, bringing in more profit. It is also advertising the personal trainer who had trained that person. The member refers the new person to a trainer and the personal trainers get more clientele, more money/hours, and the facility generates more money too. Also personal trainers can advertise themselves on social media, the walls of the facility or gym- “learn about the staff” or “know our trainers” or advertise in the community. Having exposure is a way to bring in people for you,

It is believed that the first athletic trainers were present in the Greek and Roman civilizations. Although life then was not as we know it to be today, these trainers also worked with coaches and physicians to help athletes reach their full potential.
