Virtual Career Fair: Personal Trainer


Name: Manny

Position:  Body Transformation Specialist, Xpress Boot Camps in Farmingdale New York


How did you get your job: I created this position for myself because I have always enjoyed working out and staying fit, and I noticed that most folks were struggling to achieve their goals.  I had plenty of experience helping people get in shape from previous profession and this saw this as a great opportunity to be my own boss.


Desribe a day (or week) in your job: A week in my job consists of preparing workouts for my clients, following up on their weekly progress and writing articles and emails to keep my clients focused and motivated.   I usually get to the gym at 6am most mornings and start with my own workout followed by my group classes and personal training clients.


Advice for teens in doing your job: My advice for any teen interested in following my steps is to go out and get certified by a national certifying organization then get certified in first aid and CPR in the event of an emergency.  Start by working at a gym to get experienced and to hone your skills in delivering exercise Rx and formatting programs and creating lesson plans.


Once you are experienced and comfortable delivering results and providing exceptional service you can start to build up a following and create your own fitness groups.

 
Good Luck!

8 YA BOOK CLUB BOOKS TO READ FOR GREAT DISCUSSIONS

Alice Nuttall   Sep 5, 2023 B ook clubs aren’t just a way to enjoy reading and branch out by trying books you wouldn’t have picked for yourself — they’re also a great way to get into discussions of multiple different subjects inspired by the reading you’ve done together. While book clubs can be beneficial to people of all ages, they can be a particularly helpful place for teens to engage with new ideas, put their opinions forward, and take part in friendly discussions about everything from social issues to the writing process. I’ve been in a few book clubs over the years, and while I certainly haven’t loved everything I’ve read as part of them, it definitely led me to YA book club books I otherwise would never have tried and got me looking at a whole range of different perspectives.
