What has been your career path to date and what
brought you to personal training?
Wanting a career in personal training came later to
me in life than a lot of other trainers. After finding
out I was getting made redundant from my job as a
manager in Michelin, I panicked about my health, I was
feeling overweight and started going to a local studio
to get myself into a better condition both physically
and mentally. Within six months, I was hooked and
rediscovered a love for exercise. So I decided to take
the plunge and started studying for my personal
training qualifications.Describe a typical day at work for you.
A typical day for me starts early with morning classes
starting at 6.15am then training clients during the day
on a 1:1 basis and classes again in the evening. It’s
usually a long day but that goes with the job.What would say are the benefits of working with a
personal trainer?
There are endless benefits with availing of a Personal
Trainer. You get a bespoke individual plan. Someone who can encourage you, point you in the right
direction and keep you safe when exercising.What is your favourite part of the job?
My favourite part of the job has to be seeing people change and accomplish things they thought they
weren’t capable of. I’m also Exercise Referral qualified too so I train clients who have certain medical
conditions which can make it more challenging for them.Do you have any stand out career moments?
Buying our studio, refurbishing it and creating a safe space where people can train without having
to feel like they don’t fit in. We pride ourselves on putting the personal back into the term Personal
Training. At the end of the day I’m just an ordinary middle aged lady who wants to help people be
comfortable and be healthy for the long term.Ulster Tatler talks to Amanda
