Philip Raymond

 

Certificate III & IV in Fitness

After completing First Aid and Lifeguard short courses with the MSAC Institute of Training, Philip attended a SportFutures Information Session to gain insight into available career options within the Sport and Recreation industry.

As a result of this session, Philip was employed in the MSAC gym and commenced a Certificate III and IV in Fitness with the MSAC Institute of Training in 2010.  He has since successfully completed both courses and become a qualified Personal Trainer.

Initially, working in a membership services role Philip was able to develop some key business communication skills, while shadowing experienced members of staff and learning the effective operation of a health and wellness facility.

Phillip relates, 'My knowledge of exercises and technique has grown massively. I’ve also developed my organisational skills and understanding of the relationship of exercises to body mechanics and its’ various reactions to exercise'.

'I also learned valuable information about special populations including older age, pregnancy, a little bit about rehabilitation, nutrition and how greatly it impacts health & fitness'.
