Peter Lamour Career Interview
1. What is your current job title/position and how long have you been in this role?
I am currently employed at La Fitness and I am a personal trainer. People who have a membership here at La Fitness set up appointments, and I train them one on one. I have been working as a personal trainer here for 3 years now.
2. How did you “land” this position?
Before I worked here as a personal trainer, I was still working here but as a Sales associate who sold memberships here. After I finished my certification to become a personal trainer, I switched to that position.
3. What do you enjoy most about your job?
What I enjoy most about my job is simply helping people get the physique that they desire. Nothing feels better than helping others, especially with something that you enjoy dearly. I’ve been into fitness just about all my life and I plan on doing it for as long as I physically can.
4. Do you work in a “team” or “independent” environment?
For the most part, I work independently, because it is just me and whoever my client is for that time being on a one on one fitness session. It can be also considered a team environment because I am around my coworkers just about my whole shift. There are also other trainers here at my job, and sometimes we are working in the same area.
5. How does this style impact your work (meaning, working with others can be challenging, supportive, helpful, frustrating and working independently can be lonely, empowering, difficult?)
It is a little bit of both so it is fairly balanced, leaning more towards independent. I think independently is the best way for this field of work. When I am in the gym I like to focus on my goal or the person I am trainings goal in this case. If it was more of a team environment they would likely distract me while I am training my trainee.
6. What do you like least about your job?
What I least like of the job is a pretty hard question. I love just about everything
