Personal Trainer

A Personal Trainer helps people get stronger and feel good in their bodies. Every day, they meet with someone at a gym or a park and ask what they would like to do, like climb stairs without getting puffed or lift a heavy bag. Then they pick the right tools, such as light weights, stretchy bands, a jump rope or a big bouncy ball. For example, they might show someone how to squat down and stand up, counting out loud: one, two, three!

A Personal Trainer matters because they help people learn how to move in a safe way. They watch closely, gently fix how someone is standing, and cheer when something gets easier. Think about learning to ride a bike: it helps to have someone beside you saying "you've got it!" A Personal Trainer does that for grown-ups, so their bodies can run, play and carry things with a smile.
