Aimee Domingue

Aimee Domingue is a personal trainer with nine years of experience. As well as a worker in Tri-County public health department for two years. Throughout my interview with Aimee, I asked Aimee what she feels are the biggest factors on why some people may feel discouraged when exercising. Coming from her perspective as a person al trainer; she noted that there can be many reasons, but one of the most common is just not knowing where to start. If you didn’t already come from a background of athleticism, exercise can be daunting. Aimee also noted that outside aspects, like social media and bad habits, can make it difficult to want to exercise. Through her experience, social media could be used for promotion, but it can also be a hindrance to someone’s fitness industry. When asked to elaborate further, Aimee said how social media can set unrealistic expectations of exercise and promote unhealthy behaviors. She also noted how many associate exercise with punishment and food as a reward, which can lead to negative connotations overall.
