Kindie’s Journey: Building a Future in Fitness with AIPT 

For current AIPT student, Kindie, fitness has always been a passion. “I’m a mum of two beautiful girls who loves to train hard, spend time at the beach, and go on adventures with my family.”  

What made Kindie decide to pursue a career in fitness 

After her daughter was diagnosed with Refractory Epilepsy at just six months old, life changed dramatically. Returning to her previous career in Real Estate wasn’t an option, so she decided to take a leap into something she truly loves. 

 “I had always wanted to do my personal training course as I love fitness myself so much and love how you are able to help people feel their absolute best self. So personal training was also a way for me to be able to work my own hours and still look after my child.” 

Today, Kindie is studying the Fast-Tracked Personal Training and 10967NAT Diploma of Nutrition courses and is completing her face-to-face practical assessments at Fitness Cartel Nundah, one of AIPT’s many partner gyms across Australia. 

Why AIPT? For Kindie, the choice was simple. “I’ve been training at Fitness Cartel Nundah since opening and had always seen the posters up around the gym so decided to go with AIPT.” 

Her experience so far has been smooth and supportive. “From starting the process to now everything has been easy. The online portal is well laid out and very accessible and you have support from real PTs.” 

Future goals and plans 

The most rewarding part of her journey? Meeting like-minded people during facilitator days that have the same fitness-related goals as you.  Kindie is excited about what’s ahead. She would love to run her own personal training business to help people achieve their own fitness goals, including offering bootcamps and one-on-one sessions.  

Advice from Kindie to people looking to start a fitness career

“Just do it, you won't regret it. If you love fitness, love people, love to see people achieve their goals in fitness and love to chat, just go for it.” 

When asked to sum up her experience so far in one sentence, Kindie says: 
“A great introduction to the fitness industry.”
