About Samantha.

Hi, I'm Sam, the Personal Training Manager at Fitness First Willoughby Platinum.

I have ten years of fitness industry experience and have been partnered with AIPT as a Mentor for almost one year.

When I'm not immersed in all things fitness, you'll find me soaking up the great outdoors – whether it's trekking, biking, or diving into the waters for a swim.

What inspired you to get into the Fitness Industry?

It's the thrill of guiding clients towards their health goals and watching them conquer their fitness journeys. But it's not just about them; it's about empowering fellow Personal Trainers to make their mark in the industry. This passion for educating and uplifting drove me to jump into the fitness game in the first place.

What do you love about your job?

Surrounding myself with people who share the same fire and drive as I do. There's something electric about being in the company of like-minded individuals, all working towards a common goal. It's what makes each day as a Personal Trainer an absolute blast.

Why did you partner with AIPT?

Partnering up with AIPT was a no-brainer for me. I've been informally mentoring AIPT students for a while, and I thought, why not take it up a notch? Going official as a Mentor was my way of doubling down on my commitment to shaping the next wave of fitness pros. AIPT provides the perfect platform to make a real impact and guide these aspiring trainers towards success.
