Read on to know how Deepak paved his way to becoming a fitness coach through the INFS course.
Stepping into the Role of a Fitness Coach
Looking at Deepak’s current physique, some may find it hard to believe that he once used to be skinny and even obese. Yes, you read that right! Following a very poor lifestyle, Deepak’s health condition went from bad to worse. Obesity was staring him in the face, and due to lack of knowledge, he found it difficult to overcome his health issues.
But, with determination at heart, he started his fitness journey. It wasn’t an easy path to walk on, and Deepak faced several obstacles. However, it was this tough journey that made him passionate about fitness. He was so driven by it all that he started educating other people about good lifestyle choices. Deepak decided to become a fitness coach to prevent others from facing the issues that he had faced.
Completing the Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness
Deepak discovered the INFS diploma course through social media. Wanting to learn more about nutrition science and get onboarded on FITTR as a fitness coach, he enrolled in the course. Right from beginning the course, he aimed to successfully complete it. In order to make this happen, Deepak devised a plan and thoroughly followed it. He assigned a certain number of days for every module, read the lecture slides, went through textbooks, and did all the extra reading for certain topics.
Of the entire Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness curriculum, Deepak’s favorite was the Endocrine System as he loves to read about the science of hormones. In Deepak’s opinion, the best strategy to score good marks in the diploma exams is to apply the knowledge one has gained. He advises to not just read about the science of fitness and nutrition but also implement it to learn practically.
Building a Career in Fitness Industry
Besides completing the Diploma in Nutrition and Fitness from INFS, Deepak also has a certification in personal training from the American College of Sports Medicine. Understanding the importance of keeping oneself updated with regards to nutrition and fitness, he plans to pursue higher education in the same fields.
He believes that this will help him in training special populations. We are more than glad to see that Deepak is considering to follow the path of education in the near future as we believe that learning is a continuous process.
INFS wishes all the best to Deepak for all his future endeavors! We are certain that he will keep on achieving greater milestones in his career in the fitness industry.
