I was able to turn my passion into a real career
“Fitness has always been a part of my life, but it wasn’t until I became ISSA certified that I was able to turn my passion into a real career. After earning my CPT and Nutrition certifications in 2019, I started my own training business and now work full-time as a personal trainer.”

I went from working out at home to opening my own gym
“I came to ISSA later in life, never imagining that fitness could be my full-time career. But in my late 50s, I took a leap, became an ISSA Master Trainer, and completely transformed my future. I went from working out at home to opening my own gym, where I now train clients of all ages, teach group classes, and offer exercise therapy to help people regain strength and mobility.”
