“Fit for fame”
According to the text, Matt Roberts is a prestigious fitness trainer who works for the rich and famous people. He has always been sporty but since 16 starts to works as a trainer mainly with people who are overweight or unfit. Later, for his great performance, an academy employed him full-time. Although he has some ups and downs, as once he needs the bank lend him some money for start his own Fitness academy when he has 22, in that moment he can’t but later he can start to be a professional fitness trainer in his own academy with a wage per hour between 80 and 110 pounds, it’s so good for him!
