Fit for life

Jodi Wagstaff

Jodi Wagstaff is creating a new career and a new life for herself in country Victoria.

She recently completed all of the requirements for a Certificate III in Fitness and she is already working as an instructor at her local gym, Oufit Health & Fitness. In the near future, she will be a partner in the business, with her new life partner Greg.

“I moved to Gisborne, near Mt Macedon, three years ago with my three young children. As a single mum I quickly realised that I needed a career in which I could work while caring for my kids and qualification as a fitness instructor seemed to be a good solution,” explains Jodi.

Her decision has certainly been justified as she is now running various classes ranging from a morning mother’s group to outdoor ‘boot camp’ sessions.

Jodi completed her online course in 18 months and, as she explains, she appreciated the support she received along the way: “My tutor was great as he always responded quickly and in detail to my email enquiries, and the course material was excellent – in fact, I continue to use some of the texts in my work.”

Jodi also comments on the new Study Buddy system that was introduced just as she was completing her course: “When I was online I noticed people were using the new system to link up and help each other with questions on course work and assignments.”
