Bevin James- Master Trainer

Posted on Thursday 20th May 10

I was a firefighter for New Zealand Fire Service, the only downfall was living on the station 24/7. I found most nights and weekends I was away from home. I was getting close to starting a family and I wanted to be home for my family.
I’ve always had a passion for fitness and helping people.

So I decided to become a Personal Trainer. After looking around I chose the Australian Institute of Fitness. It was a great learning environment. I started my first PT job with Fenix Fitness Coburg and steadily building my client base. I try to use each individual’s main motivation for wanting to train- whether its weight loss to stop being bullied at school, to get in shape before a trip to see family in Pakistan or whatever the case may be.

You’ve got to stay focusses, but being a PT is a great career. You should approach the course with an open mind and soak up as much information and guidance from the course coaches as you can.
