Student testimonial

Shane Kuun, Certificate IV Fitness student

Age: 35
Former position: Branch Manager at a major Australasian Bank in New Zealand.

Skills: 13 years banking experience.

Job sought: To become a Personal Trainer.

Dream job: For as long as I can remember I’ve been training and working towards fitness goals. Working in the corporate environment I found that having a good gym workout was a great stress relief and a way to clear my head after long days in the office. I quite often found myself encouraging friends and colleagues along to the gym to train with me and I enjoyed pushing them to work hard.

I was given the opportunity to turn my dream into reality when my partner was transferred to Australia with the firm she works for. I decided to follow my passion and put my gym knowledge into practice and become a personal trainer. My goal is to help people gain back their life through exercise and healthy lifestyle choices, starting with childhood obesity.
