Success Story Marijana Stjepanovic
Graduate Professional Health Fitness Personal Trainer
Your dream job as a fitness and personal trainer!
My name is Marijana and I completed my training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy to become a Dipl. Professional Health Fitness & Personal Trainer at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. I discovered my great interest and joy in sports about 15 years ago after the birth of my son. I was already chubby as a child and teenager and didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. I continued to put on weight during my pregnancy and reached my maximum weight of around 90 kg. As I felt uncomfortable every day, I tried to find a healthy way to lose weight.
After some research, I discovered endurance and strength training and changed my diet at the same time. By sticking to my training sessions and nutrition plans, I promptly reached my desired weight. Professionally, I have worked in a wide variety of areas such as hairdresser, sales assistant, accountant and sales manager.
At the age of 29, I was diagnosed with a slipped disc, a fate I share with many of you. Through health-oriented and very targeted strength training (muscle building), I have managed to remain pain-free. This phenomenon/experience strengthened my motivation for my already found passion: sport, health, prevention, as well as my professional reorientation. So I turned my hobby into my profession.
I seized the opportunity and took on a new challenge!
Before I started my training to become a certified Professional Health Fitness & Personal Trainer , I compared several training institutes and researched them thoroughly. In the end, I opted for the Flexyfit Sports Academy, as none of the other training institutes were convincing enough for me. What was important to me during the training was that I wanted to pass on my experience and knowledge to people who had been through something similar to me.
I therefore offer individual personal training sessions, as well as duo training (two people) and small group training sessions. At the moment I am also renting a small studio and am currently starting out as a full-time self-employed person. Although I hadn't planned for this option in my life, I took the opportunity to take on a new challenge, even though it always involves a certain amount of risk. But one thing is clear to me: I want to carry on in exactly the same way - because I have arrived. I'm doing exactly what I love!
I am convinced that every trainer has exactly the clientele that suits them. In my case, I believe that my clients train with me because I am so authentic, empathetic and understanding - but I also have a certain rigor when it comes down to it.
My next goal is to upgrade to become a spinal trainer. The start date has already been set - again at the Flexyfit Sports Academy, of course. I'm already looking forward to it!
