Personal trainer and coach Sarah Gilbert left a desk job she hated to build ReActive Coaching, helping clients build stronger bodies and calmer minds through movement and outdoor activity.
Before Future Fit, Sarah was working in a sales job she didn’t enjoy. Everything changed when she went on maternity leave with her daughter, and found herself away from her desk, moving more, and eating more home-cooked food.
She lost weight, started exercising regularly, and took a short course in personal nutrition, which sparked a realisation that she wanted to leave her desk job behind and build a career helping others live healthier, more active lives.
Sarah chose Future Fit after reading extensive reviews and speaking with the customer care team, who answered all her questions and put her at ease. The course’s flexibility suited her well, since she was working full-time when she began training.
She wasn’t nervous starting out, just excited, and found the practical workshops gave her the confidence and knowledge to take into her own coaching career. She is currently completing her Level 4 Personal Training qualification.
After qualifying with Future Fit, Sarah set up her own studio and launched her coaching business, ReActive Coaching, which she hopes to expand in the future.
Her own experience of managing her mental health through exercise now shapes how she coaches her clients, helping them build routines that support both body and mind.
Every Future Fit graduate has access to Career Ready – structured career education, employer connections, exclusive recruitment events and a professional community, running alongside your studies from day one.
Do it for the right reasons. So many trainers and coaches chose this career path just because they have trained themselves well. In reality that makes very little difference. You have to really want to help people, understand different human behaviours and be very adaptable.
