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!

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. School is back in session for the autumn, and whether you’re an educator yourself or just want to help the teens in your life discover new books, a YA book club is a great way to get young people engage...

RECENT YA RELEASES SET IN THE 1990S

Tirzah Price Sep 6, 2023 The 1990s are alive and well with Gen Z! While it might be simple to say that the ’90s are so popular because of the fashion aesthetics or easy access to ’90s pop culture (thanks, internet!), I think the ’90s are such an interesting time period to explore for today’s teens because they look back on a time (although not so long ago!) where our lives didn’t center around the constant connection of phones, social media, and the internet. While some things have changed, we’re still facing a lot of the same social issues, but in different contexts. YA books set in the 1990s aren’t exactly scarce thanks, likely, to many millennials’ nostalgia, but here are three more recent YA releases set in the 1990s for your TBR! BE THAT WAY BY HOPE LARSON Set in 1996, this novel follows Christine, who makes a resolution to be the shiny, cool girl that people will actually want to hang out with — like her best friend. But when a falling out and a misstep le...
