Kat Attack 1.63

My name is Katrina Goss, I am 35 years old. I have been in a relationship with my partner Rodney for 13 years and we have 2 beautiful sons aged 4 and 6.
I enjoy gardening( especially in my vegetable garden), reading and spending the weekends with my family swimming, visiting museums, art galleries and playing ball at our local park. I absolutely love going to my local gym to exercise. I enjoy group weight sessions, spin classes, boxing and strength and conditioning classes and I work out 6 days/nights per week.
Its only been recently though that I have found my love of fitness again. After having my two boys I gained 30kg, developed type 2 diabetes and had no confidence or energy.
Approximately 1 year ago I joined my local gym and have never looked back. To be honest it wasn't easy at the start, I felt out of place and didn't know for sure if exercising again was something I was ready for. Once I began exercising I was hooked though. I made some small changes to my diet and slowly I started noticing some amazing changes in all areas of my life. I gave up smoking and this allowed me to go longer and harder at each training session or group class. My diabetes is now in normal range and I no longer need medication. I can keep up with my two small boys and we do more outdoor activities now and I have so much more energy. I still struggle with my confidence but I continue to grow each day.
The staff at my local gym were and still are amazing and I honestly believe this is a big factor as to why I continue to succeed with my health and fitness journey. This is one reason why I have decided to start my studies in fitness. I know the importance of knowledgeable, motivational gym instructor and personal trainers and I also know the benefits of health and fitness on a personal level. I believe once I have completed my studies these factors will help me become the gym instructor/personal trainer I want to be.
I want to complete my studies so I can learn all I can and in turn help others find their own fitness passion. I would love to teach potential clients the benefits of health and fitness. I also want to understand and have current knowledge of the fitness industry so I will be able to give clients the appropriate tools they need to make fitness a lifestyle change and maintain it. I also want to instil in my children and children as a whole the benefits of exercising and good eating habits. I want to teach, motivate and push potential clients to do and be their best.
I would like to turn my passion of fitness, into a career. I believe studying the certificate 3 and 4 in fitness at Fit College will enable me to do this.
