Many opportunities have come about as a result of being a Personal Trainer. I teach bikini competitors to walk in high heels, bodybuilders to pose in their undies, filmed TV Commercials, chatted on podcasts with other fitness professionals in the industry, organised seminars and workshops with Professional Athletes from the other side of the world, just to name a few!
