Musings Near the Finish Line on the Path to Personal Training

With the completion of the academic portion of the Professional Fitness Consultant Programme at Medix in full view, I have been reflecting on all the positive changes that have come about in my life as a result of it.

I have acquired a great deal of knowledge about myself and my classmates through the supportive and positive critiquing process encouraged by our instructor, Roburt Tranter and I have to admit that I am humbled by the infinite amount I have yet learn.  Although I see the finish line,  I have only just arrived at the threshold of the door to life long learning.

When I leave, I will take with me not only a broad range of knowledge in fitness and personal training but also communication and interpersonal skills.  A good measure of personal empowerment, self confidence and  mental toughness will accompany me thanks to the PX2 unit of the Medix curriculum.    

Although I am acutely aware of the areas I need improvement in, I have faith in myself and what I have learned.  I will not be distracted by fleeting nervousness generated by my novice status.  My clients deserve clear communication and all my attention and they must have complete confidence in me as a trainer. 

As I enter externship, I will be challenged in many ways to integrate all I have learned into an intelligent and effective plan that will help my clients reach their personal health and fitness goals.  I am embracing this opportunity fully engaged and with great anticipation!
