I Did It, I Had A Crazy Idea, A Dream Even, I Pursued It And Now It’s Your Turn
On Friday something great happened to me, something I thought was impossible, something that seemed un-achievable, yet something that I really wanted. Friday was the final day of eight I’m going to call it life changing weeks. I knew it could be done, it just had enormous obstacles along that way that had potential to make it unachievable. Friday was my final assessment, after studying for eight weeks, in order to gain the qualifications as a Personal Trainer. It still hasn’t sunk in yet, but I have now completed my Certificate III and IV in Fitness through the Australian Institute of Fitness and I am now considered a Master Trainer.
Over the next four weeks I will be doing work experience in my local gym, which ironically I haven’t been to for the last eight weeks! Then that’s it, I am set loose! I am pretty happy with myself right now let me just put it out there. It was really hard, when you haven’t been to school for 17 years, you are suddenly in a classroom environment I’m going to say it, being treated like a child. Given homework, assignments and many assessments to study for OMG! It was tough. But it’s over and I did it, I did it tough but I did it! And I can’t get over it.
I know there is something you have on hold right, well it’s time to put some thought in to it and start finding away to achieve it girl. Nothing is impossible, I want to be living proof of that. I was one of the eldest, the only one with three kids, the only one who’s husband worked nights, the only one who maintained a blog the whole way through, the only one who missed her daughters first day of school, the only one who was continually mocked for having severed 16 years in the Army. It was really hard working through all that, the last eight weeks have been massive and that’s just the bits I’m telling you about.
At the end of the day I did it, I had a dream, I found out how to make it reality, I put my plan in to action, with lots of determination, effort, self discipline, tears and laughs I did it! I am now a Personal Trainer something that this time last year seemed impossible, is now my reality. Don’t stop dreaming, start doing.
My next goal, to make myself accountable I’m going to put it out there is…. To start my own Personal Training Business for Women only, both group training and mobile personal training. Also thinking of offering online options. Love feed back of what you are interested in.

Congratulations Renee, well done! Since you don’t live in Sydney, on line coaching would be great! Also for me, cleaning is HARD, so a menu plan would also be fantastic, thanks.
