About Simon.

Hi, I’m Simon, Facilitator and AIPT Mentor at Genesis Health and Fitness Preston.

I have been in the fitness industry for over seven years, with three years of AIPT Mentorship. I’m young at heart and like to think I’ve never grown up. While young, I was interested in cycling, climbing, running and survival. So, it’s easy to see how I came to my professional career in fitness.

What inspired you to get into the Fitness Industry?

I became a Personal Trainer because I wanted a career change. After pondering on what that might be, I decided to study and make my fitness passions into a career I could truly enjoy and thrive within. To those considering the same career change, don’t think too hard about it and do the Certificate IV in Fitness.

What do you love about your job?

I love teaching, and in Personal Training, there is always an opportunity to do so.

Why did you partner with AIPT?

Partnering with AIPT is my opportunity to bring more people into the business. It helps grow an industry I love and allows me to aid those with all my knowledge.
