Learner Success Story: From Hospitality to Personal Training – Cara’s Journey

At Achieve More Training, we love celebrating the incredible journeys of our learners. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Cara Lane, who has completed her Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Training qualifications with us under the guidance of assessor Ben Auger.

From Hospitality to Fitness

Cara spent 12 years working in the hospitality industry before her life took a difficult turn in 2023, when she was signed off work with PTSD after the tragic loss of her brother. The gym became her place of comfort and healing, a space where she could switch off and reconnect with something positive.

Inspired by the memories she shared with her brother and her growing passion for fitness, Cara made the life-changing decision to retrain in the health and fitness industry.

A New Path

What began as an idea to work in a local gym soon grew into something bigger. After completing her courses, Cara decided to take the leap into self-employment. She is now the proud owner of her own full-time personal training business, Cara.Lane Personal Training, and is also working alongside Business Wales with the aim of opening her very own private gym in the near future.

Cara’s Words

“I absolutely enjoyed both courses! Ben was a fantastic tutor/assessor. He helped me with absolutely everything that I struggled to understand – nothing was too much trouble for him. The courses gave me enough knowledge to be confident enough to go straight into registration as a sole trader. Completing these courses and becoming a sole trader has honestly changed my life.”

Looking Ahead

Cara is now a fully qualified and insured Level 2 Fitness Instructor and Level 3 Personal Trainer, and she’s already looking to expand her skills even further. Her next goal is to complete an Exercise Referral course, allowing her to support the NHS and mental health services through her passion for health and fitness.
