I started my journey in the fitness industry 5 years ago at the age of only<br />

16. I spent my first year more or less wasting my time and money on a<br />

gym membership doing what I thought was right, although I had noticed I<br />

had been training a while and didn't notice any visual differences. From<br />

this realisation, I decided to bite the bullet and hire a personal trainer which<br />

was a big gamble for me, as I was only 16 living as a student, so I never<br />

really had a lot of money. Looking back now, I can't believe how much this<br />

changed mylife and I can say it's the best money I've ever spent. During the<br />

first 6 weeks of my training I saw massive differences, the kind I had been<br />

trying to get all year round but nothing would budge. This kept me motivated<br />

as I now became a little more educated on how to transform my shape and<br />

this was very exciting for me, the gym becamemy life. I was always known<br />

as the shy scruffy boy who never really spoke and developed into a more<br />

outspoken, confident mature adult because of what I was achieving in the<br />

gym. This was great and I knew this was something I loved and I'm always<br />

going to love. I therefore decided it was time to take up my qualifications as<br />

a personal trainer which took me roughly about 9 months. Now I knew I was<br />

only 17 at this time and I was not ready to start my own business as a<br />

trainer I still felt as if there was loads I needed to know and experience<br />

before I took this leaptherefore I was given the chance to do work<br />

experience in Fitness First (Lifestyle Fitness Kilmarnock) to help me gain<br />

more experience in the industry. I continued to do this until I was 18 getting<br />

to know members, takingclasses and of course my favourite cleaning gym<br />

equipment *Note Sarcasm*. From here I was offered a job in the same gym<br />

as a Personal Trainer which I had decided it was time for. Since then I have<br />

created a massive portfolio of successfulclient stories and pictures that<br />

justify I am serious about what I do.
