I'm currently a chef for Tam Sung Thai in Ann arbor. I am working on getting my CPT certification through NASM online and I am looking to get my foot in the door to the fitness industry with some entry level experience. Ideally, I would work the front desk until I acquire my CPT certification and then transition into a personal trainer role. I think it would be very beneficial to work for the same company from the start to develop a deeper understanding of the company and go from there.

Cheers,
