I was a student of Mechanical Engineering when I first became interested in health and fitness. At the time I was overweight and generally led an over-indulgent lifestyle. For a number of years my training was in vain, going to the gym religiously 3 times per week but never seeing any change in my weight, body shape or fitness. Then 3 years ago I enrolled on a Fitness Instructor course at night school. Originally I just wanted to acquire valuable training tools to apply to my own workouts so that I could begin to benefit from my time spent in the gym. During the course, my training methods and general outlook on exercise and diet began to change and I made considerable progress. Upon completing my Fitness Instructor course I decided to continue for a further year to complete my Personal Training certification with a view to a career in Personal Training. By employing the training and nutrition techniques I have learned from my study, I have not only managed to decrease my weight and improve my body shape, but have also been able to improve my fitness to such a degree that I have competed in half marathons and the London Triathlon (2006).
