best experiences. I have recommended it to everyone I know,
as you don’t need to be a marathon runner to compete in this
race. A positive attitude will get you through.”
Sylwia Konopska cruised the seven seas as a Personal
Trainer
Currently working on board
Sydney based Carnival
Cruise Lines’ Carnival Spirit,
Polish personal trainer Sylwia
Konopska hit the high seas
at the beginning of 2014
as a first time employee.
Employed by the Onboard
Spa Company, a major spa
and fitness operator on cruise
ships around the world, Sylwia
says she loves having the
opportunity to inspire and
motivate people on a daily
basis.
“This is a great job for anyone who is passionate about the
fitness and wellness industry and has an interest in educating
people about living a healthier lifestyle,” she says. “When
people are on holiday they are usually quite relaxed and
they’re often interested in improving their lifestyle, so it can be
really rewarding.”
Sylwie teaches a range of fitness programs including yoga,
Pilates, group cycling, boot camp and a brand new resultsbased training, which is designed for guests to continue
at home once their holiday ends. Specialising in personal
training, she also conducts seminars and provides private
nutritional consultations and detoxification programs, which
are designed to help guests achieve their long-term health
and fitness goals.
Every week she gets to meet hundreds of different guests from
all over the world and she says that it’s particularly satisfying
when guests return for another cruise and she notices how
healthy they are looking thanks to the fitness programs she
has provided. “Knowing that I’ve helped guests to achieve
their personal fitness goals is the best motivation for me,” says
Sylwie.
