Helping people see their impossible as “I’m possible” – by sharing my own health story and how I myself use a coach and nutritionist to keep me healthy. It helps me to connect and motivate and keeps the “personal” in personal training.

The reward I get when someone says because of you, I didn’t give up. I have clients that trained with me back in 2019 that still send me body scans and update pictures. To know that because of the work I put in with someone, they grew the skills to push past what they even believed possible for themselves. That’s magical.

I love being an educator and cheerleader! Coaching isn’t just a job for me; it is a way of life. It’s so rewarding to teach my clients new things, watch them master them and see them hitting goals they thought were out of reach. I also encourage all my clients to be open with me, from the workout to their mental/emotional needs. I want them to know I am more than a paid service in their life. I am a safe space and I care about helping them. I want to see them have success in the gym and outside of the gym.
Coach Kathy of AF Mattawan, MI
-
Watching my friends progress. When they succeed, I succeed.
Coach Angel of AF Azle, TX
-
My job is to empower people who have a genuine desire to better themselves, and it’s the best dang job in the world.
Coach Ben V. of AF Lafayette (Kaliste Saloom), LA
-
I became a coach because I myself lost 100 pounds and wasn’t able to do that until I became educated and found real-world encouragement. Being able to support others to overcome their personal roadblocks and help them realize that they aren’t alone is the best feeling in the world. Once clients start to understand the process and really learn to take care of themselves, they fall in love with it. Their fitness changes, but more importantly their outlook on the world and how they see themselves changes, and watching that happen is the best thing about being a coach.
Coach Shanna Z. of AF Boothwyn, PA

My favorite part about being a coach is seeing my clients progress over time. Progress in exercise, in speed, or towards their fitness/health goals.
Coach Natalee of AF Phoenixville, PA

I am the person that I wished I had when I started my fitness journey! I love being able to support and encourage others along their own journey. I want to grow a passion for fitness in others the way I have instilled it into myself. It’s all about finding a realistic balance!
-
Seeing people celebrate milestones in health and fitness, big or small.
Coach Rick of AF One Pacific

I love that I have the opportunity to help people become the best versions of themselves.

I love showing people that they are truly capable of accomplishing whatever they set their mind to.
Coach Shawn W. of AF Nipomo, CA

Impacting people’s lives in a way nobody else can… being someone’s happy place or being told they love coming to see you is a very humbling feeling!
Coach Mark F. of AF Abbeville, LA
-
Our health can be a vulnerable and personal topic for people. Being a part of helping others make changes to something so personal and important to them is very rewarding. One day our paths may no longer cross, but our time together and what we accomplished will always be an impact that was made.
Coach Christina C. of AF Snohomish, WA
