Pande Nyoman Merta is a familiar face at Gold’s Gym Citywalk Sudirman, having been working as a Personal Trainer there for more than 4 years. But did you know that he didn’t always have an amazing body that he has now? Let’s get up close & personal with Gold’s Gym Indonesia’s Best Personal Trainer 2014, Nyoman!

 

He started working out when he was still in college in 1996 motivated to change his awkwardly lanky physique no heavier than 55 kg, but he has always been into sports even before then. Through the power of discipline and strong willpower, He learned a lot about bodybuilding – from nutrition to the kind of workout he has to be doing to gain muscle. After 4 years of hard, his hard work and amazing transformation finally got its well-deserved recognition and he was trusted to be a Personal Trainer at his gym. Thus began his long journey in the fitness industry!

 

When he first started his career as a budding personal trainer in 2000, he was still working in marketing. At that point, he’s been working in marketing for 8 years already but he ended up finding something more in personal training than in his previous job. Even with initial disapproval of his career choice from his family, it did not deter him. The job satisfaction that he got from being a personal trainer made him sure that this is his true calling.

 

What he likes about being a personal trainer is meeting new people as well as the part where he got to share his knowledge to those in need – both in theory and in practice. He is so passionate about personal training that he does not feel that he face any challenges during his work! He’s able to overlook any hardships that may come his way because he’s more than happy to do his job. One thing he’s most thankful for being a personal trainer? He met his wife in the industry!
