My personal statement for a job in my local gym...
Hi guys. I would be grateful if you guys could take a look at this personal statement Ive typed up, its for a job in my local gym. Let me know what you think of it and if its all relevant
cheers!
After a series of bad ankle injuries left me unable to play football for several months and overweight I decided to take up full time education and learn as much as possible about health and fitness. I enrolled at College in August 2006 the end result was (award).
I felt throughout my time at college I excelled whenever I was taking practical sessions in the gym, this involved taking groups or individuals through the facilities of the gym and explaining how each of them worked with practical demonstrations, which muscle groups were being used and correcting their own form if necessary. On occasions I would also provide individuals with training programmes and dietary advice tailored to their own goals. Through this experience I gained valuable knowledge of how clients act and behave when they first enter the gym and how vulnerable they may feel and what I can do to make them feel more relaxed. I am also first aid trained.
I work well with people on all levels and will happily take on a leadership role when required, as I have proved throughout my time at college, it also gave me the confidence to communicate well with people from all walks of life and has improved my social and inter-personal relationship skills with the others. I have been called upon numerous times to coach classes as a whole or as individuals. I am happiest when I am able to help people meet and exceed their own goals. It is also encouraging to know that on a number of occasions I have been able to build up a fellow students trust in myself by training them correctly or passing on my own knowledge.
I am a naturally cheerful, approachable, flexible, adaptable person with good teamwork and interpersonal skills developed in my current and past employment history combined with the skills and qualifications from my time at college are skills which are highly transferable to the role of gym instructor. To achieve my own goals has taken a lot of research and thought over the past two years. it was obvious that this kind of work was what I wanted to do.
I am always looking to improve my own CV and achievements and would relish going on courses that would enhance this.
Being fit and healthy means different things to different people, but the bottom line is that it's something which should be a positive and integral part of your life. I'm extremly passionate about my work and will give 100% commitment to helping customers achieve their goals.
