Natalie - Certificate IV in Fitness

Meet Natalie, a Year 12 Student at Lake Joondalup Baptist College, on a journey to complete a Certificate IV in Fitness through the Australian Institute of Fitness, one day a week out of School. Last year, Natalie successfully achieved Certificate III in Fitness.

While balancing the demanding responsibilities of high school academics, Natalie has dedicated evenings and weekends to rigorous fitness training and theoretical coursework required for the certificate. Her unwavering commitment is a testament to the fact that age is no barrier to pursuing one’s passion.

The Certificate IV in Fitness is no small feat. It demands a profound understanding of autonomy, exercise physiology, nutrition and training methodologies. Natalie’s achievement showcases not only her aptitude for these subjects but also her tenacity to overcome the challenges posed by advanced concepts. Her instructors were quick to notice her dedication and the mature way in which she engaged with the material, setting her apart as a student who goes above and beyond expectations.

With a heart set on helping others, Natalie envisions a future where she can guide individuals towards healthier lifestyles, instilling the confidence to embrace their physical potential. Her ambition speaks volumes about today's youth, who are keenly aware of their responsibility to shape a better tomorrow.
