Watch Louis' story on BBC Bitesize Careers
I love helping people to live long, healthy and happy lives.
- Louis' job is to help people stay healthy in two ways – by teaching them how to exercise safely and by helping them to eat healthy food.
- Louis learnt about the fitness industry when he was 14 – his mum hired him a person trainer after he broke his collarbone playing rugby.
- He decided this was the career for him and spent time gaining work experience so he could start his professional training.
- Day-to-day, Louis meets clients at his local gym and is working to complete a course that will make him a certified nutritionist – this is someone who helps people understand how food impacts health.
