INTERN SPOTLIGHT: SARAH O’GRADY

TELL US A LITTLE BIT (A ALOT) ABOUT YOURSELF

Im 26 years old and am currently studying my certificate3 in fitness with Chisholm and will continue on to certifcate4. I grew up in Lake Tyers Beach, spent my late teens and early 20s living in Safety Beach and have now settled in Bonbeach (I’ve got a bit of a thing for living close to the beach.) I enjoy leading an active lifestyle spending time outdoors. I love high intensity exercise in a group setting. I enjoy getting out for a walk or skate with no real direction so I can wander and take in my surroundings.

 

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO SPEND 12 WEEKS WITH THE VIRTUS FAMILY?
For my course I need to complete 30 hours of practical placement in a gym, Virtus has a lot more to offer than most gyms I know of. I want to be in an environment which has high quality coaching and meet great people who want to learn and grow.

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

I want to be focused and committed to my job as a coach, working together with people in my community. An excellent person, a great friend.

 

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?
I’m driven to constantly better my professional and personal skills. I’m motivated from the energy from others around me.

 

WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS AS A PERSON AND AS A COACH?

I am empathetic and understanding, I’m cheerful and get a lot of joy from speaking to others.

 

WHAT ARE YOIUR BIGGEST STRETCHES AS A PERSON AND AS A COACH?

I can lack confidence at times, and am working on believing in myself in new environments. I want more confidence in my ability to program and instruct exercises.
