Dave and Mark achieve milestone by completing their Level 2 Gym Instructor Certification.
This week we’re sharing good news from both our Youth Hub and Health & Wellbeing programmes, as foundation staff member, Dave, and Youth Hub participant, Mark, have both completed their gym instructor qualification. By completing the qualification both have taken another step towards their fitness training goals.
Alongside studying for their qualification, Dave and Mark have been working together in our outdoor gym with Dave mentoring Mark through the Youth Hub. The hub is dedicated to helping young people gain employment by supporting them with one to one support, practical learning and skills workshops, all of which give them the confidence to succeed in landing meaningful employment.
“Being part of the Youth Hub and volunteering with the wellbeing team has totally changed my everyday routine. I am now volunteering regularly and have been pursuing my personal training qualification. I feel much more confident and having a purpose and direction has really motivated me to lead group sessions myself which is a massive achievement”
– Mark, Youth Hub participant
Following the completion of their qualification, Dave and Mark continue to learn and develop bringing them closer to becoming fully qualified personal trainers. We’re excited to see where their professional journey takes them next!
