Interview

BB It has been a long time since I knew you as that ‘skinny kid’ in grade 1?

AL Well apparently we all grow up eventually, despite the “peter pan” theory

BB You wanted to be a nurse and are now a personal trainer, what brought that about?

AL I initially chose nursing to help people, but after studying for the first year I realized I couldn’t really do that. I made a friend while nursing who was also a personal trainer and she led me to do the course. As a fitness professional I am able to help everyone of all ages and of all different body types and capabilities. I am also very passionate about helping people to prevent and maintain Type 2 Diabetes, which can easily be done through a 30 minute personal training session per week.

BB What qualifications do you have?

AL I have completed a Specialized Fitness Business Diploma with the MAX International College for Fitness Professionals, leaving me with Certificate III and IV in Fitness, Certificate IV in Small Business Management, Certificate in IV Business Development and a Diploma of Business

BB How do you intend to get this venture off the ground?

AL I am giving everybody willing, a complimentary 30 minute personal training session, so that they can try before the buy. To further progress in June I am going to Brisbane to do a 2 day Fitkids Australia Course to become a qualified Fitkids Instructor and work out of schools. I am also going to do a NASST strength and conditioning course to train sporting teams. I am also going to run group classes and boot camps for those looking for a helping hand but don’t want a trainer.

BB What are the chances of getting mum fit and back on the softball field?

AL Well if you can hold her down long enough to get the Black Douglas out of her hand, than maybe we can get started.

BB Thanks for your time Ashlee, all the best in your new venture
