Mark Green
When Mark Green was made redundant from his job as a legal manager for Tailor Wimpey he wasn’t sure what to do. "I knew it was time for a change and I was looking for a career I loved. I also wanted to try and incorporate a hobby to make my career even more enjoyable".
He reviewed his CV and under hobbies he had gadets or fitness so his shortlist of careers consisted of IT or or career in the fitness industry. One of the girls in the office suggested PT – when he got home and thought about it, he decided to give it a try. He signed up straight away and completed the level 2 and level 3 apprenticeship course, all in 3 months.
Mark now works as a freelance PT for Fitness First Bristol Harbourside He has gone from a stressful, high pressure environment to the opposite end of the spectrum – he now really enjoys his job and particularly enjoys the satisfaction from helping people.
