For the last couple of years I had been working in a local gym.
I like working as a physical fitness trainer, but I don’t like working with a bunch of old women all the time.
I worked hard to become a physical fitness trainer, and doing nothing but leading a bunch of old ladies in side stepping, while calling it dance class, is boring me to death. It makes me wonder if the owner of the gym thinks differently of me because I am a woman. Women don’t get the best of jobs and she proved it when she gave a personal trainer status to some handsome guy who hadn’t even gone to college. Shortly after that she gave me my review and told me she wasn’t going to give me a raise because I needed more training. I couldn’t figure out how a woman who looked like a cow was going to show me how to do my job even better. I left her office and headed to the local core progression to ask for a job. I was surprised when they told me I was hired. They were looking for a trainer to lead a new class for couples. It was going to be personal fitness training for couples and individuals. With my certification in fitness training, they thought I was perfect for the job. They also had me in mind for some other classes they wanted to add. I started out with a more substantial salary and I also had regular hours. Even before I started the job I was loving it more than I ever had at the gym.
