I started off doing mechanics
straight from school, and
although I enjoyed it, my heart
wasn’t really in it. A friend
recommended the sports courses
at Ayrshire College, and since I’d
always enjoyed sport at school, I
thought why not give it a go?
I’ve completed NC to HND
Fitness, Health and Exercise.
Every year was different, from
the practical aspects of sport and
gym exercise, to learning more
about the theory behind sports.
I’ve enjoyed all aspects of college,
especially the work placements
at KA Leisure and being involved
in the primary school coaching
sessions. It was great to
encourage the school children
into different kinds of sport.
College benefited me in so many
ways. Within the last five years
my experience and growing
passion have encouraged me to
pursue my career in sport, and
I feel lucky to have landed my
dream job as a Personal Trainer
at Pure Gym in East Kilbride. My
goal is to inspire people who
share my desire for continuous
improvement. I learned the
benefits of good nutrition which
is vital in the fitness industry and
for an overall healthy lifestyle
and this is what I’d like to raise
awareness of with my clients.
“I’M GOING ON TO
DO A DEGREE IN
SPORTS SCIENCE
AT UWS. I WOULD
RECOMMEND
ANYONE TO START
AT AYRSHIRE
COLLEGE.
IF YOU’RE
PASSIONATE,
GO FOR IT!”
