“I’m super into fitness and I like all sports so when I heard about Reaseheath’s new facilities I was keen to study here. It’s been great using the sports hall and the sports science lab because I’ve learned how to use the latest equipment.
“Work experience in the college gym gave me a perspective on how the industry works and I also have a sports massage qualification which will help me to stand out. Fitness is on the rise and I know I’ll have lots of opportunities no matter what I choose to do.”
