New Trainee - Jesse Double


Hi I'm Jesse Double. I am currently doing my Certificate 3 in fitness with Fitnance. I enjoy working within the fitness industry. I have always dreamed of being a personal trainer ever since I was young. I play AFL and I am in the gym a fair bit myself. I love to help people out and get them to reach their goals. I think that is a big part of being a personal trainer - getting the best results you can from your clients.

New Trainee - Vai Fitisemann


" Hey mate... names Vai, but you can call me push-up"

I am very fond and interested in working in the fitness and personal training industry. It keeps you focused physically and mentally and will enhance your capability of succeeding in any activity you may encounter. I also enjoy the outgoing and continuous conversation during client sessions and workout environment. My hobbies are drawing, eating, video games, watching movies, playing rugby and facebook. I am very friendly and open and have an unconditional desire to keep fit and have mountains of fun.

New Trainee - Kaido Mori


Hey, I'm Kaido in year 12 from Brisbane State High School currently doing a Certificate 3 in fitness at Fitnance. I'm here to learn the Certificate to be a personal trainer. I don't want to be a regular trainer who's at a gym - I want to teach martial arts (Aikido) that I'm learning from my father. Since I've started this course I've been learning boxing once per week for 2 hours. The first session helped my fitness and the second session helped me improve technique. Even though the boxing sessions are really tiring it improves my martial arts that I'm going to teach in the future. I'm currently enjoying the traineeship and boxing very much.

New Trainee - Heinrich Stolle

Hi.
My name is Heinrich Stole. I recently moved from South Africa to Australia. I go to Holland Park State High School and I am in year 12. When I finish school I want to be a personal trainer and go to university. I want to be a professional world strongman.

New Trainee - Ben Murray

Hi my name is Ben Murray and I'm 16 years old. I am currently in year 11 at John Paul College at Daisy Hill. I'm doing a traineeship here at Fitnance and studying a Certificate 3 in Fitness. I am really enjoying the course and am learning new things every time I come here. I play a few sports for school and for club teams. AFL is my main sport which I play at Morningside Football Club and I will look to continue that in the future. I would like to try to do something in the fitness industry like personal training or being a gym instructor. I hope to finish grade 12 with both my Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness completed.
