Why I Love Being a Personal Trainer
Chris Egan-Lee • December 1, 2023

I often get asked a lot by my clients, family, and friends what I love about personal training I have been doing PT for over 30 years.

The answer is never a short one as I truly LOVE and am PASSIONATE about what I do! Let me list the many reasons why I LOVE my job (in no particular order!)…

  1. I get to meet, interact with, and connect with many different clients everyday! It is so uplifting being a part of someone’s journey to a living a healthier lifestyle.

  2. I get to make positive changes in the lives of my clients and see their transformations over the weeks, months and years.

  3. I can work as many (or as few) hours as I want, I tend to work long days (6 am-7:30 pm) but that is my choice because (again) I love what I do and what to help as many people as I can in a day;)

  4. I work in my own   Realfit PT Studio  which means I have NO excuse to miss my workout…so yep another perk of being a personal trainer is staying in great shape (my clients inspire me to kick my own butt after kicking theirs!)

  5. I train so many amazing people and establish very strong relationship with them. I have become so close with many of my clients that many of them have become good friends!

  6. The ability to use my knowledge, experience, and love of fitness to help enrich somebody else’s life. I’ve had so many clients tell me their favourite part of the day was our session; what a fantastic feeling! Getting that call or sms really makes it so worthwhile.

  7. I look forward to going to work everyday! Not only do I have incredible clients to train everyday but my co workers are so fun to be around.

    We have a blast, no matter what time of day and who is doing what…we are positive, outgoing, active people and we all share a passion for helping others become healthier, I can’t think of a more positive and fun environment? Constant laughter can be heard inside the studio on a regular basis.

  8. I get to wear my favourite gym gear and running shoes to work every day-’nuff said!

  9. Seeing clients’ confidence change as their body changes, they reach their goals and they are proud of what they have accomplished! This is the most rewarding thing for me.

    Sometimes it is hard to remember the shy, insecure, quiet, out of shape and depressed/unhappy person that first walked into the gym after working with someone for months or years and seeing them transform their body, mind and entire being!

I can’t believe how lucky I am to play such a pivotal role in people’s lives🙂

A Rewarding Journey of a Personal Trainer

As I reflect on my journey as a personal trainer, the most rewarding aspect has undoubtedly been the relationships formed and the lives transformed. It’s more than just fitness; it’s about being a guiding light on someone’s path to a healthier, happier self. Each day brings new challenges, but the satisfaction of seeing a client succeed is unparalleled. I look forward to continuing this journey, embracing each opportunity to make a positive impact, and cherishing every moment of this rewarding profession.
