Luke completed his Certificate III & IV in Fitness with Australian Fitness Academy in March 2010 and was the AFA Graduate of the Year 2010!
Monika Gardner completed her Certificate III in Fitness in 2010 and after completing the course started working with the YMCA at Cowes on Phillip Island. Monika supervises the ‘Living Longer Living Stronger’ Sessions and is employed 5 to 10 hours per week. “I turned 69 in April this year. I don’t know how one is supposed to feel at that age, but I am fit and feel great. I’m working more hours than I originally wanted to work since I am supposed to be retired. But I am loving it, it’s very rewarding to be able to encourage older people like myself to exercise and to see their progress and how much it improves their day to day life. It’s also obvious that they appreciate to be instructed by a person nearer their age and I am getting some very positive feedback. I am treating my work like a hobby, I keep fit and get paid for it. How good is that?”
Ani Del completed his Certificate IV in Fitness in May 2011 and is now working at Genesis, Dandenong as a Personal Trainer.
Brett Kirkland completed his Certificate III & IV in Fitness with Australian Fitness Academy in 2008.
I have also been focusing on sport specific training and been quite successful with ice hockey conditioning. I am now the head trainer for two separate hockey clubs! I want to thank AFA for giving me the knowledge and confidence to pursue my dreams as a personal trainer and now a business owner!" |
