First impressions as a Personal Trainer

09 December, 2024

Thirty Seconds That Can Cost You a Career

Relationships are made over time but they often never make it past the first few minutes. In fact, the first thirty seconds of contact have been proven critical in sales. How you present yourself initially creates an image that is often embedded for a lifetime. This article will present three essential elements for a lasting, successful first impression.

Why variety in your PT Sessions is a MUST!

02 December, 2024

It’s only natural to assume that for our clients to succeed, the training we provide must include a variety of training methods, techniques and varying equipment to ensure that they are not only achieving their own health and fitness goals, but also enjoying their workouts.

When you enrol at Australian Fitness Academy to start your studies, chances are you will slip into a specific learning style without realising. Here are some commonly known styles of learning.

Personal Trainer TRAITS you must have

18 November, 2024

Having overheard a conversation recently about how a client was constantly left waiting for their Personal Trainer to arrive I started thinking about what traits every Personal Trainer simply must have to make it in the industry!

Preparing for a Fun Run

11 November, 2024

The fun run season is approaching, so why not have a try? Setting yourself a running goal can be a great way to give your fitness a much needed boost after struggling through the winter. Running is a great cardio activity and you’ll likely shed a few kilograms as your fitness improves.

OK, I’m Qualified… Now what?

Congratulations! If you’re reading this, then chances are you have recently completed your fitness qualification and are looking at jumping headfirst into a brand new career in this exciting industry!

Continuing Education

21 October, 2024

I have a friend who has a PhD in exercise physiology and is acknowledged as a world leader in his area of expertise. Every year he continues to research and refine his knowledge and understanding of how the human body responds to exercise. He has been involved in exercise research for more than 25 years. You would think that he would have reached a point where he knows everything about his specialised topic!

I could not speak highly enough of my experience studying Cert 3 & 4 at Australian Fitness Academy.

The staff are exceptional and were always happy to help me understand what was required as a student and assist with any queries I may have had. I would recommend AFA to anyone looking to work in the fitness industry.
