Gerda Karman - Personal Trainer

Doing sports has been in my blood my whole life, and honestly, I don’t even remember a time when I was away from sports for long – even during tougher and busier life stages, I always find time for myself to keep my mind and health fresh.

As a personal trainer, I have now been working for half a year, and it is one of the best steps I have taken in my life. I postponed personal trainer studies for a long time because I found excuses in my head not to do it. At one point, however, I realized that these were only fears in my own mind that needed to be faced, so I applied for the FAF Estonia personal trainer course. I cannot hide that the study period was very hard for me – I did it alongside my main job, and many times I thought I could not go on and wanted to give up. Thank God I did not!

Looking back, it was one of the most instructive experiences, and here you can also draw a parallel with training. Even if some moments are very, very hard and you just want to give up, it is important to keep pushing forward because through that we grow, develop, and become stronger. What I often tell my clients and see firsthand is that we are actually capable of more than we think we are.

In my work as a trainer, my great wish is to help people achieve their goals and maximize their potential. Of course, also to support, motivate, and be there for the client. Since other activities and duties often jump in during everyday life, it is so easy to put oneself aside. The advantage of personal training is that it is a mutual agreement between the client and the trainer, and it is harder to let the other party down than oneself. Once you show up, half the battle is won! Usually, people leave the training in a good mood and with a positive energy boost because we have invested in our health.

That is exactly why I love sports too, because the feeling that training gives is indescribable. No matter how bad the day has been, training is a place to unload, to leave daily worries and tasks behind for a moment, and to focus only on oneself. Training is more than just chasing physical shape. For me, the mental side is just as important, which drives us forward in life and prevents us from giving up at every difficulty.
