TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I’m better known as Charmee fit. I’m a fitness personality. I train people to meet their desired goals. It could be weight loss or body building. They’ll have to follow a strict exercise routine and diet to stay healthy and achieve their goal. Basically what I’ve been doing for 5 years and it only gets better.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR CRAFT?
Seeing people around me working out which has also been a personal interest of mine.
DO YOU HAVE A MENTOR, IF SO WHO?
Sincerely, my aunt is my mentor. Growing up, I saw her workout a lot and this grew my love for it. I love how strong she is and I can’t wait for us to workout together again.
DESCRIBE FITNESS AND WELLNESS.
Fitness refers to a person’s physical parts. One can be fit by engaging in physical activities like exercises. While wellness touches your entire being be it physically, emotionally, mentally or internally.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ROUTINES?
I love lunges and dead lifts because they give you legs to die for.
HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR SOCIETY AFFECTS YOUR INDUSTRY?
In our society, female physical trainers are looked down on compared to their male counterparts because it is often said to be a masculine activity. I am hoping for a change in the future.
DO YOU FEEL THERE’S A GOOD SUPPORT ATMOSPHERE FOR TRAINERS?
There seems to be a good atmosphere for trainers but here in Nigeria, women have to work twice as hard in other to gain recognition like their male trainers due to societal standards.
WHAT’S THE MOST CLICHE THING YOU HEARD WHEN IT COMES TO FITNESS?
Omg people have said the most ridiculous things but the one that I have heard the most is when people say “Are you lifting weights so you can beat your husband up?”
WHAT’S THE MOST REWARDING PART OF WHAT YOU DO?
My clients results. It excites me to see them excited about how far they have come and how heir bodies have changed.
ONE THING YOU HOPE TO IMPROVE ON IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
The barrier female instructors have. I wish people would be open to seeing more female instructors.
