Helping people help themselves

One of the most rewarding things about being a personal trainer is helping people believe in themselves and achieve their goals. While its a simple idea, giving someone the push to find their own inner strength and motivation to attain their goals gives me a sense of purpose and makes me feel like I am making a difference. You also constantly get to see positive change in people which generally makes you a happier person. Often, the change you bring about in a person's life is not limited to the gym (ie. bring about a lifestyle change that comes from their boost in self-esteem) which can me extremely satisfying to watch.
