So if any one has any suggestions in ways that I could improve it, let me know. Obviously most of my CV is irreverent to the Fitness Industry as I’ve spent the last 7 years working in an office.

If your a Manager of a gym reading this, I hope you liked my CV… can I have a job please? lol

Well, since my last post, where I advised you all that I sent my CV out to numerous Gyms around the City, including, LA Fitness, Fitness First and Gym Box, to date I have had… NO replies. Absolutely nothing. Not even a courtesy reply. Am I now finding out how tough this industry is going to be? Or are there just dicks that work in the gyms I sent my CV to?

Im not actually that bothered about getting a Part Time job in the Industry, yes, it will give me some experience and see how things are done, but im going to be so busy over the next few months I don’t think im going to have time to work a full time job, work out, study and work a part time job.

So what’s happening in the next few months? Well next week im starting my 8 week Nutrition and Weight management course, which will be completed Online. That is followed by a 8 week case study, in which I will need to apply my newly found knowledge on foods etc to a Guinea Pig… my Brother.

Whilst doing that Case study, I will be attending a 5 day work shop in January for Personal Trainer and Advanced Instructor, which is also followed by a Case Study, a 12 week one. And then once I have completed that, I can start my final part of my Course, Which is more Nutrition stuff.

So pretty busy, but am looking forward to it.

OK, haven’t updated this little bad boy for a while, I’ve been lazy. But in my defence, not to much has been happening on the Training front. I am not due to start the next section of my course until November, which I’m looking forward to. Its an 8 week online, home study on Nutrition and Weight Management. Which is then followed by an 8 week case study, which also falls online with my Personal Trainer Case study, so I have a lot to do from November will March. Read More→
