Personal Statement


  • I am excited to apply for the Personal Trainer position at your facility. As a NASM-certified trainer with over 17 years of personal strength training experience and a background in college football, I bring not only a deep passion for fitness but also the drive, discipline, and leadership necessary to help others succeed in their health and wellness goals.
  • Throughout my athletic journey—from playing collegiate football to years of self-directed strength training—I have developed a solid foundation in program design, client motivation, and injury prevention. While I’m new to working professionally in a gym setting, I have informally coached friends and family, applying evidence-based training techniques and seeing them achieve tangible results. My work history as a bar and operations manager has also refined my communication skills, client relationship management, and ability to thrive in high-energy environments—traits that translate directly into building strong rapport with gym members.
  • I am highly motivated to grow within a supportive team of fitness professionals and contribute to a positive, results-driven environment. I would be honored to bring my energy, professionalism, and coaching mindset to your facility.
