What I liked

I enjoyed that I could set my own hours. Working with youth is challenging but forces you to be up-beat and energetic.

What I wish was different

Wish the hours were longer but I could only afford so much gym time as I'm starting my own camps from the ground up.

Don't be afraid to fail. I thought I would have a tiny amount of kids at my camps but ended up filling up really quickly!

personal trainer

June 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

Ever since I started my career studies in criminal justice, I wanted to be as fit as possible and three years ago I got my personal trainer. Afterwards, I wanted to encourage my friends and people in general to be fit in order to be healthy and I get to get payed and do what I like. I go hired by L. A Fitness, but they payed so little that I started training people on my own and I got payed more so I resigned L.A Fitness, and now I continue to work even though I am still attending National Louis university.

What I wish was different

There is really nothing that I would want to be different. As a mother of three I am always busy, but I always find time to do multiple responsibilities

Advice

It is always important to work extra hard, because at the end of the day one will be rewarded. Therefore, what seems to be too much work will eventually payed off at the end of the day.
