Sarah Glenn: ACE Personal Trainer

Posted by on June 30, 2012

Staring at that computer in a little testing room at Salt Lake Community College, my SA node kicked into high gear, my tidal volume increased and little beads of sweat poked through my pores.

In other words, I was scared.

But I clicked the “Submit” button on my Personal Trainer exam anyway and … after taking a sharp breath … the word “PASS” in big bold print made me exhale and smile.

The sciences have never been a strong point for this true-blue journalist, so earning this certification stretched me, to say the least. What started out as a way to stay academically fit during the time we were abroad has now turned into another professional avenue I can pursue.

This was just the first step in developing a new skill. But the process taught me that I could achieve anything I put my mind to. Even if it involves my weakest point; science.

So, anyone up for a workout? 😉
