Student Spotlight: Agatha Moura, Personal Trainer and Circus Art Instructor

Student: Agatha Moura
Course: 2014 Cert III and IV Fitness (Personal Training)
Campus: Northern Beaches Campus
Speciality: Aerial and solo acrobatics
Present: Personal Trainer and Circus Art Instructor

 

Acrobatics has always been my passion. I had got a Diploma in Circus Art previously, which helped me developing my circus skills, however after completing the course and getting a job in the industry I realised that it was a big challenge to pass on my knowledge and skills to my students. After analysing my professional expertise I decided to take a step further in my career and enrolled in the fitness course which would give me a deeper understanding on methods and techniques to work with my clients.

 

 

I definitely enjoyed the structure of my course and the way that the teachers deliver the content. It was completely hands on but not missing the theoretic aspect. We would have theory classes and after that we would go straight to practice which would consolidate our learning experience. Also the campus atmosphere is fantastic, I was surrounded by nature and I had plenty of opportunities to interact with other students through the many activities happening throughout the year.

 

 

Well, waking up early is a must. As a personal trainer we need to adapt our time to our client’s availability. I need to be strong and have enough energy to keep up with hours of training so I eat very healthily and also sleep at least 8 hours a day.

Communication with my clients is also very important. I need to make sure I am helping them to develop the necessary confidence and skills to progress in their fitness program.

 

• work with love
• be committed to your clients  goals
• be sure about what you want to achieve in your career
• and have determination.
